McLaren Vale backpackers is located in the heart of wine country, surrounded by gentle rolling hills covered in vineyards and dotted with charming cellar doors. Foodies will love the range of exceptional restaurants, while romantics will delight at the picturesque countryside, with winding lanes perfect for a relaxing cycle.

The Backpackers is located on the main street of  McLaren Vale close to Cellar Doors, Super Markets and Transport . Wine country explorers can settle into a range of room types that vary from private rooms to family rooms perfect for anyone wanting comfortable, clean and affordable accommodation. There are over 50 cellar doors in the McLaren Vale, with plenty of opportunities to taste the vino and perhaps stock up on a few bottles of Shiraz or Cabernet from local wineries (the Local specialities). We highly recommend hiring a bike and cycling your way around McLaren Vale with bike hire available. To complete a day of touring the McLaren Vale, take advantage of relaxing in our outside entertaining area.

McLaren Vale is situated just 45 minutes south of Adelaide. Part of the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, the area boasts scenic vistas of vineyards, olive groves and almond orchards. There are also iconic beaches within a ten minute drive west of the town, while a drive to the east will see you heading into the hill ranges. South will see you reaching the coast in under an hour and in the right time of year the chance to see whales as they nurture calves and make the long slow journey to colder waters.  McLaren’s nearest neighbour is Willunga – in itself a gourmet destination with a regular Saturday Farmer’s market. Several heritage trails share the two towns, with the Shiraz trail providing a safe cycling and walking path which connects the two places.
