winery woes....
I was in the area for work and thought this place would be good. Unfortunately, my colleague had a bereavement and could not come. I realise a refund was impossible of course ... the stay was imminent - but did think that if there was a mutually convenient time - something might be possible... I have done this with illness and this was the passing of a son... but I also paid for the breakfast for both rooms ... and even that was charged and not consumed! and apparently on arrival ... was advised there have been a lot of unfortunate 'passings' of young people in SA of late..... maybe I am being to sensitive or harsh ... but cannot recommend or return

Brilliant!
Most comfortable bed of all the hotels I've ever stayed in. Luxe rooms and interesting building. Personal and friendly service. Wine tasting after we checked-in. What more could you want! Location is a few minutes out of McLaren Vale, but uber and taxis are readily available.

Amazing Location! Outstanding
Simply amazing. Loved it. Outstanding views across the winery (with the autumn colors). Bath was great too. Super-comfy bed. And a selection of excellent wines. What more could you want? Just perfect.

The wines at Inkwell are really enjoyable. The staff are down to earth, friendly, and helpful. They even have a wine dog named Daisy. The views from the room are breathtaking. We really enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck. It's very quiet and peaceful. The amenities are high quality and comfortable. The only complaint I have, and it's very minor and probably specific to me is that the shower water pressure is really light. I have super thick hair and it was almost impossible to get my hair rinsed.

Unique stay in this beautiful accommodation . Rooms and styling are outstanding . Sunset over the vineyards is magical! Beds are incredibly comfortable and the bath is fantastic. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and there is nothing else like it anywhere near. Included breakfast not really in keeping with the high standard and low footprint ethics of the hotel. Less food but more local offerings with less packaging would be an improvement .
