I guess this is what South Australians consider “off-grid” ?
Cons:

Visitors at adjacent cabin left the gate not just unlocked every time, but chocked open with a small boulder.
Roughly 2/3 of the ‘manual’ for using the wood sauna was missing so we didn’t bother in case we burnt the whole thing down. Having a bath instead was also a slow burn of an idea though because tank pressure dictates the (inside) tub takes about 45 minutes to half fill.

The perfect way to kick back and relax in nature. Definitely will rebook. Thanks so much.
Pros:

We loved the serenity of the gorgeous gums. Surprised at how spacious the inside was. Loved the outdoor bath, sauna and we had a beautiful camp fire.

Cons:

Pillows were a little uncomfortable.

Eh
Pros:

Location very pretty and quiet.

Cons:

Living area was grubby, soft furnishings didn't feel clean or like I wanted to sit on them. Listing was unclear believed I was getting another cabin, contacted via email on booking several weeks prior and on the day when I realised this specifically and never got a reply.

Perfect off grid escape
Pros:

The perfect opportunity to switch off and relax but also with McLaren Vale at your doorstep if you wish. We had a wonderful weekend and will stay again.

Cons:

Everything was perfect, just don’t forget your gumboots, especially if it’s raining

Good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Pros:

Quiet location

Cons:

Wasn’t as clean as I’d hoped- inside and out. CABN Melissa was good but CABN Matilda needs some TLC.
And the loft bed wasn’t suitable for adults.

Totally understand the glamping appeal - being off grid but with comfy beds. Not practical to stay in unless the weather
Pros:

Great location and vineyard surrounds were beautiful. Airconditioner worked well, beds were surprisingly comfortable and acess to the property was easy.

Cons:

The layout of the cabin was really awkward - should be for a couple max. Dangerous big step off single bed and double bed had ricketty ladder access only. No mirror & really hard to use the fridge with ladder. No where to put luggage at all - is very small. Not easy for a tall person to navigate
