The five generously-proportioned Kanmantoo bluestone-fronted holiday homes of Vale 194 are nestled behind a beautifully rustic wooden gate off of McLaren Vales Main Road.

This quaint hamlet brings a unique alpine feel to the township. Each two-story three-bed, two-bath home brings together old and new, with the downstairs space showcasing polished concrete floors and floating steel staircases, leading you up to warm spotted gum timber floors against white-pannelled ceilings.

Your stay is fully self-contained with a spacious kitchen, dining and lounge area and full laundry facilities. The homes are great for any season, with heated floors and towel rails in each bathroom, and an outdoor dining and BBQ area to enjoy on warm nights. Each bedroom contains a plush king-sized bed, adorned with luxurious Minijumbuk quilts and pillows.

The location allows guests to experience a sense of community if renting one home, or to enjoy the whole complex as a large multi-family group or wedding party. Nestled right beside the famous McLaren Vale Shiraz Trail, this is the perfect home base to explore the town’s best restaurants, shops and cafés on foot or bike to some of the best wineries in the country.
