Pet-friendly Hotels in Coonawarra

To say this is an amazing location is an understatement; surrounded by nature and the perfect atmosphere to watch a sunset and drink wine from nearby wineries, we were pretty impressed. We stayed in a glamping tent, where the beds were super comfy, and seperate bathroom facilities were clean and provided more of a at-home experience instead of the usual caravan park cubicle grossness. On the other hand, was it really ‘glamping’? It kind of just felt like a regular tent with a bed and a kettle and esky chucked in there. Having previously been glamping, where a bar fridge, interior decor and a general luxurious vibe were included, and that being confirmed again when glamping at our next destination, underwhelmed is the feeling that comes to mind. Additionally, the outdoor seating provided included two broken seats, one that was rusty and looking a bit unsafe. The shared kitchen faculties were great, but the whole place needed a good clean. There were books and magazines available, but for what, it was pretty unclear… when I want to tidy a place, there’s something not right. Finally, in my quest to take the perfect snap of the last of the sunset (spectacular), a dog came out of the main building, running towards me and barking furiously. It appeared to belong to the owner. I’m a dog lover, so for me to be scared of a dog is pretty strange. Additionally, on a light night trip to the bathroom, I met a very friendly cat. I’m all for meeting cats but I think keeping a cat outside, on a property that borders a nature reserve, is incredibly irresponsible. I may sound like a bit of a Negative Nancy, but this place is so beautiful and could almost be perfect with a few basic changes.
