The White House, Penola
Family which included 3 adult couples spent a long weekend in The White House, Penola. The house was perfect, right down to the inclusion of welcoming nibbles and wine. The check-in process was easy. Would definitely stay again.

Magnificently appointed, spotlessly clean, great location, welcome bottle of wine.
Can't fault the property. We were late arriving and received a message asking if we were alright! Now that's being concerned to see we had a good stay!

Good getaway break
We stayed here with 2 friends and we had the the large bedroom with en-suite which had a great shower. Our friends had the smaller bedroom and used the other bathroom which didn’t have as good shower. The quality of everything in the house was really good but it’s not really big enough for 6 adults but it was great for 4 Loved the fresh flowers and little unexpected extras
