Cottage vacation rentals in City of Onkaparinga

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.

It is just a beautiful and tranquil place to stay. We loved it. Was a small hiccup on check in but our hosts were very responsive and got it sorted for us in no time. We appreciated the lengths they went to help us have a great stay. We will be back as soon as we can!

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.

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

This property is an outstanding 5 star AirBnB, the presentation was beyond our expectations. The guests were 2 couples who have experienced AirBnB in various locations around the world and we unanimously rated this property up, there in the top 10, perfect place to relax & enjoy to area.

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.

Perfect for a weekend away for 2! Highly recommend The Shack and Nat is a wonderful host.

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!

We had a lovely stay! The place was very clean, well presented, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. A big bonus was how baby-proof it was—it worked perfectly for our 14-month-old and meant we could actually relax. The location is also super convenient, just a short walk to the main street. Would definitely recommend!

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!!

Shell was so welcoming and a great communicator. This place is as described and very central to shops and restaurants and so close to the CBD which suited us perfectly. We can not wait to stay here again. Thanks heaps Shell.

A lovely place to stay with your family or friends near the esplanade, in walking distance of shops and restaurants, you can’t go wrong! Lovely host and very helpful!

Beautiful little cottage, renovated to a very high standard in a lovely garden setting. Extremely well equipped with everything you need for a long or short stay. House was spotlessly clean and a pleasure to stay in. The host was very helpful and I would recommend this property to anyone who appreciates quality, location and comfort.

stunning views, stunning location, super nice host providing full pantry and fridge with chocolate and wine. such a amazing place to stay definitely recommend! 😁😁

Lovely stay, great location and really good communication with Nick. Exactly as described and a really nice and well equiped property. We would definitely stay there again. It’s a good location for visiting McClaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and the fleurieu peninsula

The Gallery was the perfect wine country getaway. We felt completely removed from everything and able to relax and unwind but were only minutes from cellar doors, restaurants and more!

This is one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Jane’s place is cute, well set out and bordered by the most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen. Lovely snacks and treats were very appreciated. Well stocked. Open fire a delight. Thank you!

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!

My husband and I stayed the weekend at this beautiful location as we’re getting married in Kuitpo Forest. It ticked every box and exceeded our expectations beyond measure. Waking up in the morning to the horses, ducks and beautiful scenery. We were blown away with how peaceful it was. From day dot the hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Upon our arrival entering the home it was spotless and filled with so much love and care. I have never experienced an Airbnb Home and hosts who truly catered and went big and beyond for their guests. My husband and I are very excited to return and would highly recommend this to absolutely everybody who was looking for an Airbnb stay somewhere private and peaceful, with hosts that truly take care of you and love their home and want you to have an experience that leaves you feeling relaxed and comfortable. Thank you to Evan and Jess for the unmatched hospitality and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
