What our guests say.

“What an amazing property! Simon and Fiona have thought of every little luxury and comfort in this beautiful house. We stayed for 3 nights but we wished it was longer and will definitely be back. We couldn't fault anything. It was so nice to sit by the fire with a glass of their estate Shiraz in the comfy living room or out on the balcony overlooking the vineyards. The whole experience was perfect, and the highlight for me was hand feeding and petting their lovely sheep! We would highly recommend Monapilla Escape for anyone looking for a special stay 🙂”

“We had the most beautiful stay at Monapilla Escape with our two children and our 1-year-old, and honestly, it was exactly the little family escape we needed. From the moment we arrived, it felt so peaceful and special. The views, the beautiful villa, the sunsets and being surrounded by nature made it so easy to slow down and just enjoy being together. The kids absolutely loved exploring, seeing the chickens and collecting the fresh eggs each morning — such a simple thing, but it became one of our favourite memories. We loved sitting around the fire and watching the kids play on the swing! The perfect mix of comfort, nature and little moments we'll remember for a long time. We left feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we can come back.”

“Genuinely stunning spot to stay. Simon and Fiona have a great eye for detail as hosts and the place was brilliant. Quite possibly the best place we have stayed in South Australia — we look forward to coming back! Great hosts, great location and beautiful accommodation.”

“Amazing luxurious experience we will never forget. Beautiful setting, design and view. A little farm experience with sheep, chickens and veggie patch, outdoor fire tub, fire place and nice lighting. All made our stay unforgettable. Thank you.”

“Monapilla Escape is a little piece of heaven. From the moment you drive in you're met with the most stunning view of the rolling vineyards. The house itself is gorgeous — Simon and Fiona have gone above and beyond to add thoughtful touches in every corner. We loved playing the card games while enjoying the complimentary vino. A highlight for us was enjoying an outdoor bath under the stars, a memory we will never forget. From feeding the sheep, playing bocce and taking in the breathtaking views, it's safe to say Monapilla is truly an experience. We can't wait to come back!”

“Simply stunning property with beautiful vineyard and farmland views with kangaroos popping by. Pristine and stylish furnishings with a wood fire both inside and outside with superb bath and outdoor hot tub. Couldn't have asked for a better place to rest and revitalise. Simon provided a welcome wine and brekkie amenities including eggs from the garden. The e-bikes and local trail allowed us to dine and sample wonderful wines. We will treasure our memories and would love to return.”

“We absolutely loved our stay at Monapilla Escape. You can tell so much thought has gone into every single detail, from the fresh bread, eggs, flowers and veggie garden, to the wine and limoncello. We especially loved the paddock-to-plate philosophy — being able to enjoy produce grown and raised right on the property is such a special and thoughtful touch. The property is beautiful, spotless and so peaceful, with the most gorgeous vineyard views. Such a beautiful stay. Highly recommend visiting. Thank you.”

“Such a beautiful stay at Monapilla Escape. Fiona and Simon have done the most amazing job of creating a wonderful space in the most picturesque setting. Cannot wait to start planning our next stay with new friends to experience McLaren Vale at its best.”

“We had such an amazing stay at Monapilla Escape and truly couldn't have asked for better hosts. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The villa itself is absolutely breathtaking, with some of the most beautiful vineyard views we've ever seen. Every detail has been carefully thought out — from the high-quality towels to the well-equipped kitchen. You can really feel that this place was created with a lot of love and genuine care for guests. It's the perfect place to unwind and disconnect. We will 100% be coming back.”

“We had such an incredible stay here. The view is truly speechless — waking up and looking out over the hills and the ocean never gets old. The house is spacious, cosy and beautifully designed, with everything you could possibly need. One of our favourite parts was heading out in the morning to explore the area on the electric bikes provided — such a nice touch and a perfect way to take in the surroundings. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway with stunning views of the hills and the ocean, this is the place. We would absolutely stay again. ✨”
