Why we’d goYou are not just sleeping near a drinks producer, you are sleeping on the producer's property, with the bar ten seconds from the front door.
A three-bedroom house on the Red Hill Brewery property, with a designer kitchen, open fire, and a stocked beer fridge. The bar is ten seconds from the front door and open Thursday to Sunday. Midweek stays are private and quiet, the brewery is closed and you have the property to yourself. Weekend stays are sociable rather than secluded, with the taproom operating next door.
The most-cited credible alternative to Jackalope Hotel for a wine-immersion Peninsula stay at a different price point. The argument is simple: you are not just sleeping near a drinks producer, you are sleeping on the producer's property. The estate hop garden is thirty metres away. The same yeast going into your beer is going into the tanks you can see from the cottage window.
Confirm current nightly rate, dog policy, and minimum stay directly with the brewery before booking. Midweek for quiet; weekend for access to the taproom, choose deliberately.
Worth knowing
If you only do one thing
Choose deliberately: midweek for total quiet on the property, weekend for taproom access and the full producer-stay experience.
