This accommodation was truly the most beautiful place I’ve ever been, it’s everything in the photos and more. Holly is amazing at communication and willing to go out of her way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She truly made my birthday trip special as it could be in the Airbnb is actually one of a kind.

My partner and I stayed for one night had the most amazing time! It was so beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The view, the bath, the design—everything was perfect. And the complimentary wine was so lovely. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

We had the most magical stay at Rare Earth Retreats! Holly was so friendly and made the whole process seamless. It is easy to tell how much love and care has gone into making the whole guest experience perfect from start to finish. From the gorgeous villas and view in themselves, to the thoughtful welcome drink upon arrival, sustainable features and locally sourced breakfast + amenities, it was truely a five star stay in every respect. The photos simply do not do the villas + view justice and we cannot wait to visit again soon!

Rare Earth Retreats is absolutely breathtaking! Overlooking the vineyards, it truly felt like we were in Tuscany. The accommodation was beautifully designed, with every detail carefully thought out. Watching the sunrise over the vines and enjoying wine on the patio was pure bliss. Holly and her Team at Rare Earth Retreats were super kind, accommodating and thoughtful, making our stay unforgettable. A perfect escape in McLaren Vale—we can’t wait to return!

Absolutely outstanding!!! A stunning location, unbeatable views, and great proximity to the wineries. Holly has delivered an incredible design with these beautiful properties, and the Mollydooker team and family made it an easy and warm welcome and made us feel incredibly special. Everything from the small touches to the high end finishes made our stay one to remember!

It's a must stay. The photos of location really don't do it justice, very peaceful & beautiful. Loved natural fibres & materials used for this (Slate) off-grid villa. Allow 2hrs after dinner to enjoy a lovely sunset looking across the acres of vineyards.
