Grape Pickers Cottages is a lovingly restored group of historic cottages in Tatachilla, close to the McLaren Vale wineries, and it is a solidly pet-friendly base for a wine country stay. Guests consistently mention the fireplaces, the cottage history and the friendly, helpful owners.
The pet policy. Pets are welcome, with a maximum of two dogs per property. A pet bond of at least one hundred dollars per pet applies, and dogs must be declared before arrival, since an undeclared pet attracts a one hundred dollar penalty fee. Puppies under twelve months old are not permitted. Dogs need to bring their own bedding and are not allowed on the furniture, including beds and couches. Guests are responsible for cleaning up all droppings on the property. Confirm current bond and fee amounts directly with the owners at booking, as these details can change.
The place. The cottages are older, character-filled buildings that have been renovated while keeping original features such as fireplaces intact, giving the stay a cosy, historic feel rather than a generic motel one.
Location and nearby. Tatachilla sits at the edge of the McLaren Vale wine region, so cellar doors, including dog-friendly stops with outdoor decks, are a short drive away. Bring your own water bowl for walks between wineries, since not every cellar door provides one.
Who it suits. A good option for owners with a single well-mannered adult dog wanting a comfortable, characterful base for exploring the wine region, rather than travellers with puppies or with more than two dogs.
Before you book. Confirm the exact bond amount, which specific cottage or room types allow dogs, and any breed or weight restrictions directly with Grape Pickers Cottages before booking, since policy details can be updated without notice.
