Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.

Sage is a "Hidden Gem" - Hand-built by local stonemasons and wrapped in garden views, Sage is a light-filled cottage designed for slow living and shared moments. With two bedrooms (each with their own bathroom), an open-plan layout, and large windows that draw the outside in, this is a place to rest, reconnect and recharge. Just steps from the Main Street and Shiraz Trail.

The space
Sage is the kind of place that stays with you.

This two-bedroom cottage was built by McLaren Vale stonemasons and is now a thoughtfully restored stay designed for couples, small families, wedding mornings or close friends. It’s comfortable, elegant, and quietly full of charm, with an open-plan layout that makes time together feel effortless.

Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the home is set up to suit different kinds of stays. If you’re booking for two, we offer a lower rate with just the main bedroom prepared. Everything else in the cottage is yours to enjoy, of course and if you’d like both bedrooms made up, just let us know ahead of time so we can prepare the space. For bookings of three or more, both rooms will be available by default.

The living, dining and kitchen area opens up with large garden-facing windows that let the outside in. Light pours in from every angle, and the freestanding gas fireplace makes it a home you’ll want to sink into, no matter the season.

Outside, the garden is full of life. The Shiraz Trail starts just beyond the cottage, and the cafés, wine bars and food favourites of McLaren Vale’s Main Street are a 30-second walk from the front door.

There’s a reason guests say Sage is a feeling that needs to be felt. It’s more than a cottage, it’s a place that stays with you long after you leave.

Guest access
You’ll have full and private access to:

• The entire cottage
• The lush back garden and lawn
• Private Outdoor dining and BBQ area
• Fire pit for evening gatherings
• Driveway parking (plus extra space on the quiet street if needed)

Other things to note

• To offer the best value for smaller groups, pricing is based on the number of guests. For bookings of two, the second bedroom will remain closed, which allows us to reduce costs by only servicing one room with our linen team.
If you’d like both bedrooms set up, please let us know in advance and we’ll happily organise this before your stay.

• Sage is one of two historic homes on the property. It’s the larger home, tucked privately behind our smaller one-bedroom cottage, The Station House. Both homes are fully self-contained and have their own private entrances and outdoor areas.

• Guests at The Station House use a shared driveway to access their front cottage. We kindly ask everyone to be mindful when parking, and detailed info will be included in your welcome guide.

• The Station House (our one-bedroom cottage) is also available for bookings and can be combined with Sage for wedding or group stays. You can find it listed under ‘other properties’ on our profile.
