Vale 194 no. 1 Luxury Stay in the Heart of the McLaren Vale Wine Region

Welcome to Vale 194 House 1, one of five luxury holiday homes thoughtfully designed to help guests slow down, reconnect and enjoy everything McLaren Vale is known for, award-winning wineries, incredible food, coastal beauty and a warm, relaxed community spirit. Vale 194 is proud to have received a Silver Medal in the South Australian Tourism Awards, a recognition that reflects the care, quality and guest experience we offer.

From the moment you step through the private gate, the home feels calm and inviting. The Kanmantoo bluestone façade sets the tone for a stay that blends craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Inside, polished concrete floors, warm timber accents and soft, natural tones bring a sense of quiet comfortable luxury that suits the region perfectly.

The open-plan living and dining area is ideal for long breakfasts, shared platters after cellar-door visits, or slow evenings with a glass of local Grenache. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for proper cooking, quality cookware, knives, serving platters and all the essentials for meals shared with family or friends.

Each of the three bedrooms features a plush king bed dressed with premium linens and Minijumbuk quilts, ensuring a deep, restful sleep in every season. Ducted heating and cooling means comfort is taken care of year-round. Two modern bathrooms with heated floors and towel rails add a touch of hotel-style indulgence.

The backyard offers a relaxed outdoor space for barbecues, evening chats or simply enjoying the quiet of the vineyards nearby. Many guests gather here before heading out to dinner, or return for a slower night in after a day exploring.
Vale 194 is especially loved by wedding groups, milestone birthday and anniversary celebrations, and families or friends travelling together. Whether you book one house or all five, the design allows everyone to stay close while still enjoying their own space. Guests often tell us the complex feels like a little private village, perfect for memorable occasions.

The location is another standout. Set right on McLaren Vale’s Main Street, you can walk to wineries, cellar doors, cafés, restaurants, shops and the Shiraz Trail. The best of the region is right at your doorstep, making it easy to explore without needing to drive everywhere.

You’ll also receive access to our digital guest guide, curated with local knowledge. Whether it’s a must-try long lunch, a new cellar door, a coastal lookout, or a family-friendly winery, the guide helps you experience the region like a local.

Guests describe Vale 194 as instantly comfortable, a place that’s beautifully built, easy to live in and perfectly located. It’s where people come together for moments that matter: weddings, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, reunions or simply reconnecting with loved ones in one of South Australia’s most beautiful wine regions.

A stay here is relaxed, effortless and memorable. Whether you’re discovering McLaren Vale for the first time or returning to an old favourite, Vale 194 gives you the space, comfort and warmth to enjoy it all.
