Ludere: Luxury Accommodation in the Heart of Penola

Ludere Coonawarra is a heritage-listed home with a stylish contemporary extension, offering luxury accommodation in the heart of Penola, gateway to the world-famous Coonawarra wine region. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and room for up to eight guests, it’s the perfect base for families, groups of friends and couples who want to explore Coonawarra’s cellar doors by day and relax by the fire at night.

The home

Ludere Coonawarra blends heritage character with modern comfort. Three bedrooms feature king beds, and a queen sofa bed offers extra flexibility for larger groups. The fully provisioned kitchen has everything you need to cook and entertain, and on cooler evenings the fireplace makes the living area the perfect spot to open a bottle of local Cabernet.

Every stay includes

Quality linens and towels, with beds made ready for your arrival. Body wash, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. A fully provisioned kitchen with pantry staples. Wi-Fi and streaming services. Off-street parking. 

Pet friendly

Your four-legged family members are welcome at Ludere Coonawarra. 

Penola and the Coonawarra wine region

Ludere Coonawarra is right in the centre of Penola, with the town’s cafes, restaurants and historic streets just a short stroll away, including the Royal Oak hotel just up the road. Penola is one of South Australia’s most charming heritage towns, home to the historic cottages of Petticoat Lane and the Mary MacKillop Interpretive Centre.

Just a few minutes’ drive north, the Coonawarra wine region is famous for its terra rossa soil and exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, with dozens of cellar doors along a short stretch of road. It’s one of the easiest wine regions in Australia to explore, and we’re always happy to share our favourite cellar doors and restaurants.

Getting here

Penola is about four and a half hours’ drive from Adelaide and around five hours from Melbourne, making it an ideal weekend or midweek escape. Mount Gambier airport is about 40 minutes away.

Excellent property. Fabulous large open space at rear. Very responsive host. Beautifully comfy beds. Quality linen. Warm as toast with plenty of great firewood. A little more kindling would have been nice. Everything we needed on hand. Highly recommend
