    The Station house was central to the main hub of McLarenvale and was a home away from home. It was clean, old world charm with modern appointments. Host Emily included eye masks to enhance our stay and the gin trolley was well received.

    Walking distance to Main Street, central for wineries, restaurants & 3 minute walk to Saturday Parkrun (Shiraz Trail). Property was cosy, with a great gas fire in Winter, and a complimentary bottle of wine amongst other things. Very thoughtful...
