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.

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.

Cosy vineyard escape
A delightful, cosy home surrounded by vineyards. Exceptionally well equipped with so many thoughtful extras that made the stay extra special: a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread, eggs, milk, chocolate biscuits, nuts, etc - all to enjoy sitting around the combustion fire. The sun setting over the vineyards, little wrens coming to say hello. The perfect McLaren Vale escape. Would highly recommend. Also check out Mitolo for a delicious lunch or dinner. Easy drive from the property.

The cottage has stunning view down the valley across the vines to the hills in the distance. Lulu is a superb host who has thought of everything. I cannot overstate how incredibly generous she was with provisions. There was freshly baked homemade bread, eggs, pastries, homemade preserves, wine from her vineyard, Tim Tams and plenty of other treats. We had the pleasure of running into Lulu as she was about to milk one of the goats. She even gave us some of her fresh homemade goats curd to take with us. The property is peaceful yet still close to McLaren Vale and many notable wineries and restaurants. Prior to our visit Lulu provided lots on information and already made us feel welcome. We would love to return to this special place one day.

Quiet Retreat
Lulu is a wonderful host. A beautiful loaf of homemade bread and the scent of freshly cut roses welcomed us. The cottage is very private and peaceful. The beds are very comfortable and the homely details make all the difference. The perfect escape from reality. With local shops only a short drive away. Will be planning our next visit very soon! Thank you Lulu!

We had a wonderful weekend. The cottage was in perfect position for views and a peaceful stay, not too mention the comfort that was supplied with the beds and general facilities. Plenty of breakfast supplies and loved having a supply of Tim Tams to enjoy.

Gorgeous view, peace and quiet, great provisions, cozy cottage
Thank you for a wonderful stay at Tintookie Cottage! We were so grateful for the peace and quiet, glorious view from the large glass sliding doors across the vines to the hills, cozy log fire and thoughtful provisions like fresh bread and local raw honey. The linen sheets on the comfy bed were an unexpected surprise and every little touch made our stay to warm and relaxing. We enjoyed a much-needed break away from our kids and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Lulu :)

We were very spoilt by Lulu with homemade bread on our arrival, fresh eggs and plenty of oranges to make fresh juice. We enjoyed our stay so much that we only went out once briefly and chilled the rest of the time overlooking the vineyeards. Perfect getaway.

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!

A beautiful place with a stunning vineyard view!
We absolutely loved our stay at Tintookie Vineyard! Nestled in the vines, the views from this beautiful place were incredible and the home was in immaculate condition, so cosy and set up with everything we could've asked for. Lulu was such a thoughtful host, going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable! I couldn't recommend staying here more!
