After spending two wonderful lazy and indulgent days and nights at Brooklands Heritage B&B, Port Elliot, we came away feeling rested and relaxed. Host Tony Fawcus and his wife have established a wonderful haven for a getaway that is not too far from Adelaide but still is located in rural surroundings. Wonderful provisions were left in the cottage for us made up of gourmet breakfast foods and fruits, locally made dips, biscuits, chocolates, port and a even a bottle of wine. The garden surrounding the cottage is quite lovely and we spent time outside watching the bird life, such as blue wrens and at dusk seeing rabbits, roos and even several foxes. During the day we were kept company by some of the cows and horses on the property and were often visited by "Archer" the Labrador. Would definitely stay again.

Can highly recommend Brooklands. Tucked up in the foothills it is peaceful and beautiful. The cottage has everything you need for a memorable escape. The breakfast provisions were all local quality products and more than enough for breakfast and lunch! So many small touches in each room make it a perfect choice. Great location for exploring the Fleurieu beaches, towns and wineries of McLaren Vale.

We spent a fabulous 2 nights at Brooklands recently for our anniversary. Despite being in close proximity to the main house, the cottage was lovely and secluded, and had great views towards the sea.
The cottage was spacious, and beautifully presented, with 2 separate outdoor areas to sit and enjoy the view.
Everything you could think of was included, and the "little extras" made a big difference - music on when we arrived, newspaper on the doorstep each morning, gowns and slippers, and extremely generous breakfast provisions.
We would recommend Brooklands to anyone wanting a romantic weekend away - we certainly wouldn't hesitate to return!

My wife and I spent our 3rd wedding anniversary at Brooklands and it exceeded all of our expectations. The tranquility of the surrounding hills and stunning views of Encounter Bay were brilliant. The cottage oozes characters and was absolutely perfect for a quiet weekend away! I would happily recommend Brooklands to close friends and family. A truly memorable anniversary! Thankyou Wendy and Tony!
