The proprietors, Richard and Allison, are wonderful! We arrived a bit earlier than check in time however they were gracious and helpful. The room was modern, efficient and very comfortable. We rented bicycles and rode up the highway to quite a few wineries. The following day on our way to Adelaide I realized that I had left our camera in... More

This is a modern, clean, spacious, well-appointed complex of rooms. But it is nonetheless a characterless motel. The reception is efficient, but unfriendly and unhelpful (restaurants, food shopping, local info, etc.). Effectively, one is supposed to go the room, be independent and stay there. Continental breakfast was basic but sufficient. Rooms are very noisy from neighbouring guests (TV, sex, etc.).... More

This was our 3rd stop along the Great Ocean Road and we only stayed here for 1 night and do wish we had stayed a bit longer. Our room was a large studio and had a nice big double bed, a sofa and a small kitchenette with a table and chairs. The bathroom was very nice with a large and... More

Wow! Best accommodation of our road trip from Brisbane to Coober Pedy and back. Stylishly furnished, spotless and comfortable this was a real treasure. The owners are friendly and gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Breakfast was delivered to the room. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. More

Let me say straight up that if you want to stay in Penola then there are not that many choices. Out of the choices available, must @ Coonawarra would be your only choice. We stayed for 3 nights in peak school holidays and it was fully booked on each of the nights showing that it is the accommodation of choice... More

Must@coonawarra is a modern and attractive complex on the outskirts of town. Our 2 night stay was in a studio room which was equipped with a kitchen and included a continental breakfast pack for both mornings. The attractive room was spacious and well appointed with a small lounge, TV, table and chairs, comfy bed, wardrobe and spacious bathroom. A guest... More

This is the only modern hotel/motel accommodation available in the coonawarra region. The rest are old school motels (Golden Chain etc) or little BnBs or dusty cottages. The rooms were immaculate and modern - practically new. We only stayed in the studio room but it was nice and large and offered everything that we required. The owners (new owners since... More

Located in the centre of Penola in the vicinity of the Coonawarra wineries. Walking distance to facilities. Rooms/apartments are located off street and are quiet. Very clean, spacious and well thought through. Very comfortable double bed. Fully equipped kitchen. Very large and well organised bathroom. Owner = manager very pleasant and helpful. More
