Cottage vacation rentals in McLaren Vale

Everyone should visit this place, it’s absolutely a dream!

Had a wonderful stay here with a friend for Gather Round 2025. Well positioned for the Adelaide Oval games. Also on the free city bus loop which was helpful. Regina was super responsive and helpful with check in etc. The cottage is lovely and decked out in period furniture. Beds were comfy Thanks for the stay

Staying at Cumquat Cottage is a true five-star experience. It is far more like staying at the luxury home of family or friends than it is like visiting an Airbnb. Meriel and Patrick are the most attentive, warm and generous hosts. They anticipated every need - and many more we didn’t even know we had. There were even treats and a comfy bed for our dog Monte. We arrived to a well-stocked fridge and pantry, fresh flowers in the sitting room, fluffy towels, beautiful bed linen, gorgeous crockery and every kitchen utensil imaginable. The attention to detail is astonishing and made for the most relaxing stay. Eating in the stunning and private courtyard was such a treat, and we were minutes by foot from top eateries. We have never stayed at a better Airbnb.

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful cottage, everything was extremely clean and thoughtfully set out. We really appreciated the bits left for breakfast for both mornings and also the wine and snacks which we enjoyed on the terrace. Would 100% recommend to anyone staying in McLaren Vale!

Beautiful location and amazing little cottage. Very peaceful at night and right on some of the best roads to ride or drive through the Adelaide hills.

What can I say! This place was just absolutely stunning and wish we could have stayed longer! What a slice of perfection and heaven. Anthea has thought of everything - the attention to detail, quality of all things in the accommodation, stunning grounds, amazing views, privacy and provisions, etc - just wonderful! We stayed for our anniversary, and we never wanted to leave. Definitely worth the money and 100% would return.

Beautiful piece of paradise. Jason thought of everything. Mesmerizing sunsets on the magnificent deck. Very highly recommend Clare Cottage. Thank you.

Excellent place to stay for our basketball weekend. Very quiet neighbour. Great central location. Dog friendly.

From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The house was very cosy, The kitchen was fully equipped, with the addition of spices and cooking condiments if needed. Plenty of towels and beach towels supplied as well as bathroom necessities which is great for a traveller that likes to carry little. The back yard was very quaint and peaceful, great for my morning coffee and read. The house was is in a great spot, walking distance to beach , shops, and many great coffee shops and restaurants. Overall very satisfied and will definitely return .

A neat and tidy little getaway with beautiful scenery and surroundings. It is close to everything but is secluded enough to feel like you’ve escaped the hustle and bustle of life for a while. Great stay!

Satisfied all our needs bonus was allowing us to be close to our Grandson. Great walking trails and literally 10 minutes to local shops including the heart of the wine district. Certainly recommend for a couple or two. Regards Mark/Deb

We enjoyed our stay and the cottage is within walking distance of cafes and hotels. It is only a short drive to wineries and beaches.

Well laid out accommodation, we had 2 dogs stay as well, enclosed back yard so that they could run around. Peaceful location, will book again in the future.

Perfect location, dog friendly beach, transport options (bus outside house, train 5 mins drive) close by cafes/restaurants (Vietnamese amazing) Dog friendly home, our border collie loved the garden and our two girls enjoyed the stay too. Large home, ideal for 3 adults and 2 children. Plenty of TV options and lounge area perfect. Comfy beds-beautiful cotton linen appreciated! Everyone slept brilliantly. Lots of meals cooked in kitchen, breakfast items were a lovely touch. Thank you so much Vincent!!

Mel’s place was very nice, clean and tidy with a remarkable neighbourhood in Mc Lauren Flat. We enjoyed our stay at Bella Cosa with some cold nights and great heating provided. Mel was very great at hospitality providing stuff when we arrived and support during our stay.

Loved this place, so restorative and beautiful… we will definitely be back

The house is pristine 1950s chic, beautifully maintained. A quiet location within easy walking distance of the cafes, shops and pub. Then a quick 10 minute walk to the perfect beach.

Wowsers, what a great place to spend a few days!!! The cottage was just magical, with everything you could need along with a whole lot of extras. Upon arrival we were greeted with a cheeseboard and wine, and enough supplies to whip up a decent breaky for the entire stay along with snacks, range of coffee and teas and milks to cater for all needs. The cottage was clean and inviting with a fireplace stacked and ready to start, the surrounds tranquil and the location central. Thank you Jane!

It was lovely to return to Johnny and Ann’s exceptional hospitality. Their property is a charming slice of history, beautifully renovated with great attention to detail. Everything you could need for a comfortable stay is thoughtfully provided, including generous breakfast supplies that were much appreciated. Johnny and Ann are such warm and friendly hosts, making the experience all the more memorable. Highly recommended!
