Escaping the hustle and bustle of contemporary times isn't a case of replacing the light bulbs in your house with candles or getting around town in a horse and carriage. Experience a simpler, stylish slice of history and take a break in beautiful wine country instead!

Swap $269 for an overnight mid-week escape for up to eight people in the charming, historic Vineyard Cottage Bed and Breakfast at Chain of Ponds winery, Adelaide Hills. To help settle in, each couple will receive a bottle of award-winning Black Thursday Sauvignon Blanc to enjoy at their leisure. You will be supplied with breakfast provisions so you can fry up some crispy bacon and eggs or enjoy a continental breakfast in the morning.

The picturesque Adelaide Hills are only 50 minutes away from Adelaide's CBD and one hour away from the airport, so your trip should be a breeze! Check in is at 2:00pm and you can take your time leaving thanks to late check out at 11:00am.

The historic cottage contains four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully self-contained kitchen, dining room, fireplace and balcony with stunning views. There's a gorgeous private lawn area, and the carport and car park area means your automobile will be safe and sound.

Unlimited vouchers may be purchased so you can extend your stay, but please note that vouchers are only valid from Sunday night to Thursday night. Full rates apply to Friday and Saturday nights. Two people may stay in each room, though  one small child is allowed to stay at no extra cost if sleeping in a cot in their parent's bedroom.

Chain of Ponds is a premium five star winery located at Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. There is a beautiful 1800s built cottage onsite, which is run as a self-contained Bed and Breakfast, as well as a cellar door and café restaurant.
