Can't fault the property. We were late arriving and received a message asking if we were alright! Now that's being concerned to see we had a good stay!

As a family of 2 parents, three tall young adults and a girlfriend we comfortably settled into the WH for 3 nights. We found everything we needed, shared 2 bathrooms and an extra toilet and were very comfortable and warm this winter in the three generous bedrooms, comfortable roomy lounge and well appointed kitchen and dining area. We were able to buy early morning coffees and pastries across the road, drive to all the local wineries and have dinner at the local (on the corner) hotel. We had prepared for a slow cooked meal on Saturday night and the kitchen was perfect.

We stayed here with 2 friends and we had the the large bedroom with en-suite which had a great shower. Our friends had the smaller bedroom and used the other bathroom which didn’t have as good shower. The quality of everything in the house was really good but it’s not really big enough for 6 adults but it was great for 4 Loved the fresh flowers and little unexpected extras

We recently stayed at The White House for 3 nights for the July Cellar Dwellers event. We were so impressed and highly recommend The White House for a luxury stay in the heart of Penola. The house is sympathetically restored with exquisite attention to detail throughout, from beautiful new bathrooms and a kitchen to all the furniture, furnishings, fittings and accessories. The sun drenched back deck and garden was delightful even during winter. All the little touches throughout the house such as fresh flowers and a complimentary bottle of local wine, made out stay incredibly pleasant. There’s plenty of space for families or three couples, ample heating and cooling throughout. An extremely well fitted kitchen and accessories. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

Located one block off the main drag on a quiet street and right across the street from Pipers the best restaurant in Penola the White House has everything you will need. Comfortable beds modern and well apportioned bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen with a nice private back yard complete with a BBQ.

What a fantastic place to stay, right in town and literally over the road from Pipers of Penola restaurant. This place is very nicely presented, its clean and very tidy. Id throw some photos in but the ones already on the sight are spot on. Hot weekend but the house is a great oasis in this iconic wine producing area of South Australia. A really lovely place to stay and I will definitely stay here again.

This property has it all, very well appointed in the heart of Penola. Having the little extras covered like spring water, a pantry of condiments and a lovely bottle of red and choccies on arrival certainly made you feel at home. A credit to the owners. A great base for another visit to the South East in the not to distant future. Thank you.

Absolutely exceptional. The best Airbnb place I've stayed in. A stylish and immaculate house with plenty of provisions to make it as comfortable as staying at home. Free wifi, beautiful cutlery and crockery, a well-stocked pantry and fridge for meals at home, and aircon in each room. The house, bedrooms and bathrooms are stunning, and the verandah tops it off to enjoy the morning sun and evening sunsets. Made our trip, and certainly made our access to Coonawarra very easy! Would recommend a million times over.
