Loved the township of Penola and Coonawarra in close proximity. We visited cafes, Lolly Shop, Farmer George's shop, Petticoat Lane, local Pubs and great Pasta at Ottelia. Would love to spend more time.

Penola is a quiet historical town right on the edge of Coonawarra’s vineyards. It’s a fascinating place and you can tell the locals are really proud of their town. I absolutely loved Penola. The Vintage Cafe was great, Pipers restaurant was fabulous (not much change from $250 for 2, but delicious). Royal Oak, good food, nice people. Ange in the tourist information place was lovely and gave us loads of advice. Did a wine tasting at family run Di’Georgio vineyard…very good. Penola is a great location to base yourself and get to lots of other places (without dealing with loads of crowds).

What a beautiful region.

What a beautiful region. So many things to do around this area and the locals are friendly and take pride in their town and promotion of the region. This little town doesn’t disappoint. You can go back again and again and always explore something new. Add to your wish list.

You would really only go to Penola for the beautiful Coonawarra wineries. It is a 2-3 night stay only. Dinner options are very limited in the sleepy town however both were exceptional - Pipers of Penala & The Royal Hotel.

Of course the main reason people visit Penola is for the wine region and the many vineyards of the Coonawarra but if you also have some extra time, make sure you visit Petticoat Lane in the town where you will find a number of old houses built by the first inhabitants to live in Penola in the 19th century. Very interesting and doesn't take a lot of time.

Penola is a lovely country town where you could spend a few days sightseeing. We were there for a wedding and only spent a short time in the town. We would have liked to had time to browse in the shops, such as the antique shop and check out the beautiful old homes in the township and visit some of the wineries. You could also spend time in Naracoorte sightseeing the caves which is not too far to travel from Penola.

We have loved Penola and Petticoat Lane for years, so it was a dream to stay at Mr Wilson’s Cottage. The cottage is delightful and though 1850’s, has lots of modern and personal features. Breakfast provisions and other little Goodies were generous. It’s a charming little place brimming with history of the first settlers to the area. It’s well worth reading about the history and immersing yourself in it to get a full appreciation of how amazing the European settlers were. We will definitely return.

Very good - What previous guests thought, 779 reviews
Very pleasant courtyard with shaded and sunny spots, we had a ground floor room with direct access so we spent much spare time there. Rooms were comfortable, clean, quiet and well insulated. Wineries are a short drive and a couple even walking distance, 2 pubs and some restaurants 10 minutes walking distance (opposite direction). Penola is only a small place.

The property itself is in a good location, close to the centre of Penola, and also nearby to Naracoorte Caves. The view from our back windows was nice, overlooking grassland with gum trees and Corellas.

Pleasant enough motel family run in sleepy Penola. Easy check in and out. Basic room was clean and tidy. Motel is on the main street walking distance to supermarket and pub. Very quiet.
