Charming BnB or Lifestyle Gem in the Heart of Coonawarra Wine Country

Ruby's Cottage - A Little Legend with a Big Backyard and Even Bigger Vibes

Welcome to Ruby's Cottage - aka the coziest little money-maker in the heart of the Coonawarra wine region. She's a well-loved, highly-reviewed, perfectly located slice of Penola life. We're only selling because our little family is packing up the caravan and heading off to do the big lap - chasing sunshine, slow mornings, and too many bakery stops.

Now it's your turn.

Run it as a thriving B&B (it basically books itself), move in and chill out, or go hybrid and do both. It's pet-friendly, people-approved, and comes with a seriously comfy bed that's received more praise than some five-star hotels.

What do guests say?

"Great location, easy walk to town and wineries"
"Loved the thoughtful breakfast goodies"
"Charming, cozy and clean"

Guests love its retro charm, generous inclusions, and spot-on location. One called it "adorable." Another said, "We'll be back." It's a humble cottage with a cult following.

• Two bedrooms and a spa-equipped bathroom
• Newly updated kitchen with modern appliances
• Open-plan living/dining/kitchen for relaxed stays
• Huge, secure backyard
• Split system air conditioning
• BBQ, pergola and plenty of outdoor space for sunny afternoons
• Generous 866m² block

Financials & Opportunity:
