Terms & Conditions

Terms of occupancy

Altamira Retreat is a 4 bedroom, 4 ensuite, luxury holiday home set within the grounds of a boutique vineyard. Altamira Retreat can accommodate a maximum of 8 adult guests only. 

The configuration of the bedrooms should be confirmed at time of booking as one of the bedrooms can be split into two singles if required (normally king bed). If we are not notified the bedding configuration will be:

1 x King

3 x Queen

STRICTLY NO EVENTS OR FUNCTIONS are to be held on the property or within the house.

Please note there are CTC camera’s monitoring the driveway, shedding area and exterior of the house. 

Pets are strictly not permitted on the property or in the house.

Altamira Retreat is a no smoking property.

NO CHILDREN POLICY

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate children between the ages of 1-16 years old at Altamira. This is due to the fact that we have a large open dam with a steep incline very close to the house. We adore small people and feel passionately about their safety. Thank you for your understanding.

EV CHARGING

At this point we do not have facilities for EV charging at our property. However, Three electric vehicle charging stations have been installed in the carpark of the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Visitor Information Centre.

The chargers are currently free to use and include two e-station Circontrol type 1 charging stations — compatible with all cars (type 2 cars will require an adaptor) — and one Tesla type 2 station for Tesla vehicles.

To use the chargers, users need to download the NextCharge app to their mobile phone, register as a customer, then plug the car in and power up. Charging times will depend on the battery and the car. Users can also find other charging stations around Australia using the app.
