The Relish Cottage

Our only 2-bedroom cottage, The Relish, is the ideal McLaren Vale accommodation for a family or close friends travelling together to enjoy the best McLaren Vale has to offer.  

With two bedrooms of equal size, both featuring a queen bed, our Relish Cottage is indeed perfect for two couples or a family travelling together. Like our other cottages, it features a charming mix of vintage and new, but with ample space for up to four guests . The Relish can be booked in a one- or two-bedroom configuration - the option is yours; just adjust the number of guests staying or add the second bed-room as an extra (fee applies) if there are only two of you staying but you prefer to have both bedrooms set-up. 

  

Check out our images and full list of amenities below or head straight to our booking page for more information and to secure your stay.  With better rates, more flexible cancel policies plus a guaranteed late check-out and a set of wine pouring discs included when booking direct, there is no better place to book your McLaren Vale accommodation!

Gourmet Breakfast
Cheese Platter Karawatha Cottages.jpg

Cheese Platter

Cheese & Wine - in our opinion always a perfect match!

 

In particular after a day of wine tasting and a long lunch in one of our many outstanding restaurants, sometimes all you need for a leisurely evening on the deck is a platter of cheese to indulge in and reminisce about your wine discoveries of the day.

​

Our personally curated cheese platters include a generous selection of three local cheeses (subject to availability), crackers and a range of accompaniments.

​

Make sure to add it as an extra as part of your cottage booking.

And don't take just our word for it - here is one of our favourite guestbook entries from guests staying in the Relish Cottage, describing their experience at Karawatha Cottages (you can find them all in our online guestbook):

Dream Cottage

 

Simply wonderful !! 

Loved every detail of the property - you done a wonderful job. Loved the design of the Relish Cottage, the bathroom design was perfect, the little cozy blankets next to the sofa, candles here & there, fully equipped kitchen and wonderful breakfast provisions. All of it made our stay very comfortable.

​

Will definitely go back :)
