Six Strings is a family owned six-acre vineyard in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula - one of the region's most loved holiday destinations for both locals and travellers. We're a short drive from the stunning beaches of Port Willunga, Silver Sands and Sellicks, plus the many celebrated McLaren Vale wineries. A short walk will take you into the historic Aldinga main street, where you'll find the pub, a boutique brewery, cafés, restaurants and a few handy shops. If you're interested, you can book in a relaxed wine/barrel tasting experience with our Winemaker during your stay. It's $10 per person, redeemable on any purchase—just let us know when you book. Pets are welcome, but please keep them on a leash or contained. Our friendly Cavoodle has free run of the property and will almost definitely come looking for pats (and maybe snacks).

2 sites · Tents, RVs · Tanunda, SA

Flat cropping and grazing property with a rise up at the Eastern end where a native forest and scrub exists. There are two creek lines joining to make a single stream with four dams also on the property. Potential for vineyard and with an airfield close by and a quality dirt road running along the Western boundary and a surveyed road along the northern boundary this site makes for easy walking and is within short distances to some of the best cellar doors in the Barossa. Kaiser Stuhl National Park is only a short drive away over the lookout at Mengler’s Hill and the Heyson Trail runs through the hill at the Eastern end. Permission may be needed to access other private properties adjoining, however. Wineries close by include Jacob’s Creek Visitors Centre, Rockfords, Grant Burge Cellar Door, St Hugo’s, Charles Melton, Moorooroo Cellar Door or Jacob’s Creek Retreat. Tanunda is only a 5-10 min drive away where a great range of food outlets and a wider range of cellar doors exist. The helpful staff at the Visitor’s Centre in Murray St can assist with answering questions and most services are catered for in the town’s centre. This site’s location lends itself to quite short or long term stays with close access to the fruits of the Barrosa. There are recharge and excellent public facilities at the Visitor Centre and links to Barossa Balloon Adventures if desired. There are no facilities, so campers must be 100% self-contained, taking all waste and rubbish with them when they leave.

Kim and Michael’s property was a peaceful oasis overlooking the vines. We stayed here for 2 nights with family in 2 vans and loved the open space. Michael gave us a great wine tasting, explaining from start up of their family winery. Perfect location for exploring the McLaren region with Aldi close by for grocery top ups. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

2 nights at McLaren Vale Vineyard

We had a wonderful stay at Kim and Michael’s vineyard. The outlook and sunsets over the vines is truly beautiful. They were lovely hosts and we got to sample some of their very nice wines which are available for purchase. They will happily assist with suggested places to visit whilst in McLaren Vale. We would highly recommend this Hipcamp.

This was really easy to find, not far from town but still quiet. We arrived in the dark and were able to set up without any problems. Our site had a spot to set up that was relatively flat with a great view of the green hills of the Barossa. We appreciated the set out fire pit and used this each night. We had 2 camper vans and utes and had plenty of room. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely quiet spot just a moment outside the main town of Bordertown. Highly recommend if you want to stay in the area for the night for a safe quiet spot. Look for the reflective bits hanging off the tree as the number isn’t on the ground - the google location from the app leads you right there.

Not far from the town of Tanunda and nestled close to the famous Jacobs Creek vineyards is this spot. Easy to access and find. Shout out to Linda who was more than happy to answer all of our questions and gave us a local guide and reviews of all the best places to visit before we even got there. She even offered to meet us on-site to ensure we found the best spot near the forrest.
