some maintenance is required at the property. There is no on-site management. our studio had a broken blind, the fridge freezer was iced up. One of the power points was faulty. The property would be 4 star if these minor items had not lowered the rating. Its a beautiful location and the studio was well appointed

Whilst the property itself is what I would describe as Rustic and a bit rundown, the room itself was ok. Problems with wifi access 1st 24hrs. Note: If you book here make sure they send you the self check in details prior to arrival. Our booking confirmation said there would be staff on arrival to greet us - Wrong - No staff on site and we had received no check in details. After 3rd phone call managed to speak to property owner who said they had no booking for us and they could unfortunately only accommodate us now for 2 of the 3 nights of our booking w/- b/fast & asked us to pay them again direct off platform. What a mess. ( Note: For this stay, we had already paid LM for 3nights inc b/fast, 6mths in advance) We then spent over an hour with LM to try and find alternative accommodation but everything was booked out and nothing closer than 35min drive available which wasn't suitable. It was a nightmare. In the end LM cancelled the 3rd night and stated they will reimburse us for the 1 cancelled night, which they said would take 7 days to process. Hence, I Wouldn't chance booking here again.

Pro - excellent location re view, good size rooms Cons - terrible booking system, owner has no idea what she’s doing re booking systems. Thank goodness for the excellent cleaner who happened to be there and was able to sort rooms out for guests. Breakfast was appalling, so cleaner offered pancakes! Such a shame that owner doesn’t look after the place as it could be lovely. One cpl arrived and had no room despite having a printed confirmation!!

We stayed for 1 night in Lodge 1 PROS - Quiet location (didn't see another person at all). - Large, open-plan room with jetted tub. - Kitchen had all necessary cooking equipment. - Communication with staff was great. Very clear self check-in instructions, as well as follow up welcome email and check-out email. - Very close to Tanunda which has everything you need. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Foodland is the local grocery store which is open 7 days. CONS - There is nothing within walking distance. You could walk to Tanunda but it would be along a dusty, dirt road with no path or shade. - Approx. 2km's of dirt road to get to the location (as at Feb 2023). We had a hire car so it wasn't a bother but I wouldn't have wanted to drive it in my personal vehicle. Yes the bed was hard, but I liked it. Overall a great stay and we would stay again.

Nature at its best..Saw so many kangaroos (mostly kids) playing near our cottage in the grapevines and enjoyed ravishing sunset from the property. Absolutely quiet and peaceful with almost no disturbance. Can’t expect any better.

The location and the unit itself were okay, but there were no towels in the room. When we realised this, all staff had left the premises. This was disappointing for our one night stay. The amenities were all okay, although quite dated, and the bathroom and spa bath could use a good spruce up.

We have stayed at Blickenstall several times in years past - hence booked it again this time. We thought all facilities were excellent - and of course the surrounds were so restful. Very comfy bed, excellent shower, - loved it all! Thanks , and we must return. The Carsons

Beautiful surroundings. Management seems to have changed over the past couple of years. Don't expect any interaction with the host. Communication via email is great and check-in/check-out is done via code to access keys from dropbox. Simple breakfast provisions provided. Interior is a bit stuffy and dated.
