Once a working dairy, now a beautiful wine-country escape.

The Dairy is an original restored dairy building tucked amongst the vineyards of Blewitt Springs, with original external brickwork still telling its story.

Inside, everything is decidedly luxe: two king bedrooms, a spectacular vineyard-facing bath with underfloor heating and light-filled living.

Outside, dine overlooking the vines, gather around the fire pit and explore the best of McLaren Vale from your doorstep.

Some stays are beautiful. Others have a story.

The Dairy has both.

Once an original working dairy, this little piece of Blewitt Springs history has been thoughtfully restored and transformed into a luxurious two-bedroom retreat, while retaining the original external brickwork that hints at the building that stood here before.

Today, old meets new in the loveliest way.

Surrounded by working vineyards and rolling McLaren Vale countryside, The Dairy feels wonderfully tucked away, yet some of the region’s best cellar doors, restaurants and wineries are only moments from your door.

Inside, the transformation is fresh, warm and beautifully considered. Soaring ceilings and skylights fill the home with natural light, while soft greens, warm timber and earthy tones draw inspiration from the landscape outside.

Designed for up to four guests, there are two beautiful king bedrooms, making The Dairy particularly special for couples travelling together, a girls’ wine weekend or friends escaping to McLaren Vale.

LIVING + KITCHEN
At the heart of The Dairy is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed for the kind of stay where there’s nowhere you particularly need to be.
Make coffee slowly in the morning, bring home local produce for a long lunch, or throw open the doors and take everything outside.
When it’s time to settle in, the generous lounge is made for it. Switch on the electric fireplace, sink into the sofa and choose something on Netflix, with a surround sound system easily controlled from your phone for movie nights, music and lazy afternoons at home.
Whatever the season, ducted heating and cooling throughout the home keeps things beautifully comfortable at the push of a button, making The Dairy just as inviting for a cosy winter wine weekend as it is for a summer escape.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy breakfasts, grazing platters and dinners at home, with a full-size fridge, oven, dishwasher, coffee machine and generous bench space.

THAT BATHROOM
This one deserves its own moment.
The oversized bathroom has been designed to feel more like a private day spa, with a huge freestanding bath positioned in front of a picture window looking across the surrounding countryside and vines.
There’s underfloor heating for cool Blewitt Springs mornings, a double vanity, beautiful brass finishes and skylights overhead bringing natural light into the space.
Run the bath, pour something local and stay there much longer than planned.
It may very well become your favourite room in the house.

SLEEPING
The Dairy sleeps up to four guests across two king bedrooms, making it an especially lovely escape for two couples.
Bedroom One: King bed, beautiful soft furnishings, bedside lighting and generous storage.
Bedroom Two: King bed, rich earthy tones, bedside lighting and generous storage.
Both rooms have been thoughtfully styled to feel calm, comfortable and a little bit special, with quality linen and beautiful natural light.

OUTSIDE
This is where The Dairy really earns its wine-country credentials.
Step outside and you’re surrounded by a working vineyard landscape, with rows of vines stretching across the property and rolling countryside beyond.
The deck is made for long lunches and slow evenings. Fire up the BBQ, open a bottle discovered on your travels and gather around the outdoor table with the vineyard as your backdrop.
There’s lawn for stretching out with a book or picnic rug, and as the sun disappears, move down to the fire pit for a glass of red under the stars.
The landscape changes beautifully with the seasons too. Think lush green countryside and fireside evenings through the cooler months, new growth and long afternoons in spring, and quintessential McLaren Vale vineyard country as summer rolls in.
For guests road-tripping through South Australia, The Dairy also has its own EV charger, so both you and the car can recharge overnight.

LOCATION
The Dairy sits on Blewitt Springs Road, placing you in one of the most beautiful pockets of the McLaren Vale wine region.
Here, wine country isn’t somewhere you drive to for the day. You wake up in it.
Start slowly with coffee overlooking the vines before heading out to discover boutique cellar doors, celebrated wineries, beautiful restaurants and local producers throughout Blewitt Springs and McLaren Vale.
McLaren Vale township is within easy reach for cafes, restaurants, providores and cellar doors, while the beaches of the Fleurieu Peninsula are close enough to add a coastal afternoon or sunset to your wine-country escape.
Or forget the itinerary altogether.
Pick up beautiful local produce and a couple of bottles on your travels, come home early, fire up the BBQ and settle onto the deck as the light changes across the vines.
The Dairy is a little piece of Blewitt Springs history, reimagined for slow weekends, great wine and very good company.

Come for McLaren Vale. Stay for the view from the bath.
