Blickinstal Holiday Retreat

Careful with your data This is self checkin which requires you to upload you passport and credit card details to a website and pay a deposit. I was a little unsure of this. It’s not ideal in today’s security issues world 😒. Then you get a code to enter. It didn’t come through initially so, I called them a number of times to be put on hold then hung up on . I finally the got a call centre which sent me the instructions 2 hours before check in. The venue itself is lovely and the location and outlook are lovely. So after a rough start we enjoyed our stay.

Overall the accommodation was ok. The view across the vineyard and the Barossa was nice. It was not listed that the accommodation was a unit attached to other units, I was under the impression that it was a seperate accommodation. The unit was clean and tidy but dated. The bed was a little uncomfortable and the pillows were not good. I found it impossible to contact the owner and there was a language barrier with the third party agency which made it difficult to communicate with the property. We weren't sent the link for check in and registration which meant we needed to do this over the phone.

The property could have been cleaner, missing communications if booked via 3rd party, there is no onsite reception and expect an email for checkin procedures.
