Amande B&B

Fleurieu Peninsula


Away from the main McLaren Vale hubbub, almost completely encircled by vines, Amande is a classy heritage B&B with two suites looking out onto rampant lavender bushes and daisies. There's a hammock on the veranda for book-reading exploits, or a solar-heated pool and tennis court if you've got your game on.
