The Old Chaff Mill
A phoenix reborn, destroyed by fire a century ago, renovated with a modern and simplistic design in exquisite detail. From the finest linens and bathrobes to a welcome basket of fresh local produce — immersive history, stunning gardens — everything is just perfect!
This luxury accommodation in Mclaren Vale has two offerings; The Millery and The Granary.
The Millery
From its historical structure and purpose as a Chaff Mill, the ceiling is naturally high, adding to the grand design internally, the Millery is split into two levels. On the ground floor, you have simplicity and comfort coming together; the woodfire heater, optional queen sofa bed for extras, and a great collection of records for your enjoyment. The mezzanine features a king-size bed and a private lounge area.
The Granary
The Granary offers a similar aesthetic and decadence as the Millery. One clear perk that makes us favour the Granary is the spa-style bath that offers sweeping views of the country gardens and surroundings. Equipped with a king-size bed with the option to split into two king singles. There is no option for guest sleeping amenities, so if there are more than three, we’d recommend going with the Millery.
