About this property

Lost in the Vines. Vineyard Escape.

The Cottage on "Tintookie Vineyards" sits on a slope in the middle of a 17 ha property in an area called Blewitt Springs, in the heart of the McLaren Vale Wine district.
It is a small open plan house with lots of light and views from every window. The bedrooms are a reasonable size, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen and a king single bed. The main room is quite spacious with a kitchen, pantry, dining area and a TV/reading lounge area with a freestanding wood heater. It is in a very private and serene setting with wonderful views down the coast and as far as Rapid Heads. It is surrounded by trees, vineyards and bird song. There are lovely outdoor areas for eating or sitting and relaxing.
We would encourage guests to wander around the property, keeping in mind that it is a working vineyard.
We are 10 minutes from McLaren Vale and from great wineries, restaurants and coffee.
Wine, dine, walk, ride or just sit and read or enjoy the peace and take in the view.
Blewitt Springs is about 45 minutes from the CBD but very rural.
If you are coming from the city, come up Flagstaff Hill Rd and through Clarendon. A shorter drive and way more picturesque.

Beautiful, quaint, & clean!
Tintookie was a super place to stay! We loved the setting and the amazing view from the large back windows. It was quiet, and when we had time we walked around the area a little, which was full of vineyards. The cottage was very clean and well equipped - fresh eggs, coffee, breakfast items, and fresh home made bread! There were games and books as well as a variety of movies to choose from. The rooms were large and beds perfect. Lulu also had red and white wine from their own vineyard to try, which was amazing (we had the red). Would certainly stay here again! Thanks for a great stay!

Relaxing amongst the Vines
Thank you Lulu for making our stay so wonderful. Freshly baked bread & a basket of goodies was a welcomed surprise. It was the perfect place to relax & unwind and/or visit the nearby wineries Heather (Melbourne) & Belinda (Traralgon)

Best Ever
Amazing location, so we’ll set up and generously provisioned. Convenient to everywhere wonderful in the McLaren Vale but also tempting to not go out anywhere and just relax. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Perfect Getaway
Lulu's place was perfect for a couples getaway. Absolutely private, with stunning views. We arrived to a fire burning in the wood heater and a warm loaf of homemade bread on the counter, along with a bottle of wine from the vineyard and a selection of breakfast supplies and some treats. Very comfortable beds with linen sheets. The whole place was comfortable and very clean, with lots of added touches to make our stay special. Thoroughly recommend Lulu's property.

About the host

Hosted by Lulu Lunn

Host profile image
Hi, I am a viticulturist who is lucky enough to own and run a beautiful 40 acre vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale.

Why they chose this property

We built the house when we first moved here and lived in it for 8 years before my fabulously talented architecture husband got his way and built us a new home.

What makes this property unique

If you are after peace, privacy and your own cosy romantic getaway, this is the place for you. The views are fabulous and the sound of constant birdsong is a joy.
