Peace and quiet

Some info has been automatically translated.
Take a step back in time. Built in 1850, this cottage was once occupied by the very Caffreys after whom our street is named. The cottage is structurally identical to how those European settlers would have inhabited it. The thick walls are fantastic for keeping both the summer heat and winter cold out.

Workers, holiday-makers, and day-trippers have come through this place, each having left their own little mark. And hopefully, the soul of this place will make a bit of an imprint on you too.

The space
The Fleurieu Cottage retains the ambience of yesteryear with all the modern conveniences.

The small cottage has a comfortable lounge room with an eco-smart fire perfect for settling beside with a good glass of red and a book.

The queen sized bedroom has reverse-cycle air conditioning and shelving to store your clothing.

You can enjoy a soak in the large bath tub in the en-suite bathroom, or a separate shower is available if you prefer.

Finally, the kitchenette has a microwave, stove top, kettle, toaster, and a small fridge to prepare meals should you wish to stay in. There is also the outdoor private garden where you can enjoy a bite or a drink.

Neighborhood highlights

It is a 10-minute easy walk to several fantastic restaurants, cellar doors, and shops on the Main Street of McLaren Vale.

It is also close to the Shiraz Trail which has an entrance 300 metres from the cabin.

It is a ten-minute drive to Maslins Beach or the historic town of Willunga (with great farmers markets on Saturdays!)
