Cottage vacation rentals in West Lakes

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!

I've done a fair bit of travelling and without a doubt, this is one of the best Airbnb's I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. It has everything you'd need for a holiday, it's great to see that there are hosts out there that still care about providing a memorable experience and not only a roof over their customers heads. I can't reccomend this place enough. I would definitely reccomend to family and friends, and I will definitely be back!!

Waterfalls was absolutely beautiful. It’s such a peaceful air bnb and so picturesque! We went for a little walk around the property and the views are just breathtaking. The team were very responsive and gave us clear instructions on entry. My only note would be heating. I reached out to the team re the underfloor heating listed on their online guide and they responded super quickly to let me know it’s no longer available as it was too expensive. Very understandable - however I would’ve loved underfloor heating in just the bathroom. From 2 North Qlders who never have to deal with the cold, the bathroom was freezing. Double edge sword as the amount of windows and natural light in the bathroom is stunning, but it does not provide any warmth in the colder months. Overall we loved our stay, would definitely stay again and will be recommending to our friends/family who want to travel to Adelaide.

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.

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

Jane was so lovely and accommodating. The place was spotless, peaceful and beautiful. The instructions were great and easy to follow. Would recommend this place to anyone

Absolutely loved our stay. Beautiful and private so much character and lovely view out the front. Lovely heated floor in the bathroom to keep that cosy and warm for our winter stay and robes provided for the quick dash outside to get to the bathroom. Would love to stay again if we come back to Adelaide.

Our second stay at this terrific BnB. It won’t be our last. Rosie is a very proactive and easy host. This location is unbeatable…a short stroll to the Botanic Gardens and the delights of North Adelaide, the CBD and Norwood. The home is very generously appointed with stylish and homey touches. Beautiful calm courtyard. Supremely comfortable bed and armchairs , lots of interesting books to browse. Our enormous dog felt very welcome and right at home. As this is my hometown we didn’t need recommendations but there is a lot of helpful information for tourists too. If you get the chance to stay here you’ll be delighted.

Thank you! What a fabulous place. We had an amazing stay here with our little pooch. The place was perfectly located in a gorgeous setting with everything (and more) that you would need for a relaxing stay. So many wonderful little extras and a breakfast feast to fill your tummy. Local produce and lots of cute little additions. We loved the surrounding space and the alpaca visit each morning. Great parking and super lovely hosts. We will be back for sure. Thank you ❤️

This is our second time staying at this beautiful little place. The location is great. We could walk to get groceries or get coffee at the beach. Nice little parks nearby. The house itself has all you need. Gillian was super friendly and communicated well. She went above and beyond for us :)

Our stay in Deb’s place was everything we envisioned! Cozy house, close to the city but in a quiet street. A nice area to go for a walk and discover parts of Adelaide.

Loved staying at Janet and Marcus’s place. Very close walk to supermarket, coffee shops and restaurants. Nice walk through the park to the CBD also. House is private, quiet, very comfortable and great for large groups. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

Great place to stay. Everything you need is available and clean. Welcome pack in the fridge is good after a long day travel. It is walking distance to the beach and cafes. The house is a good size and suits us well for a hassle free getaway.

Beautiful cosy place to stay, in a peaceful setting but still close to everything, with great pubs, restaurants and cafes nearby. Also there is a great walking track right near the cottage to explore. Was lovely to be able to take our little dog with us as well.

The cottage was as enchanting as promised. We loved the understated warmth and charm of this getaway. Arriving to a heated house, and other treats including a good bottle of shiraz was especially appreciated. We were so taken with this beautiful cottage that we booked it again almost straight away - and look forward to our return. Highly recommended :)

Bird In Hand Cottage is a such cozy and beautiful place to stay over. Great location in Port Noarlunga where you can walk to the beach in short minutes, Cafes and restaurants also nearby as well. The cottage is spotless clean and Suzie is very friendly, always reachable, top host! I would recommend Bird In Hand Cottage and would definitely come back on my next visit to SA. Thanks Suzie for being great host :)

Fantastic place close to everything would love to stay again! 😀

I loved Poppy's place! it was cosy, clean, accessible and in a beautiful neighbourhood! I'd definitely stay there again!

We had a great stay at Isabel's lovely little cottage. Cosy, clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Thanks Isabel!

I highly recommend Julien’s place. We felt comfortable from the moment we stepped inside. Such a cozy and quaint vibe! The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. Julien went above and beyond for us. He is truly an amazing host. Would love to stay here again.

This cottage is absolutely stunning! The photos don't do it justice, the energy and surrounding nature made the stay even more peaceful. Bonus is also the local foodland that is just a short walk accross the road! Finally & Terry were wonderful responsive hosts who seemed lovely. We loved every single moment of this place and can't wait to come back one day. Thanks again guys!

Nick's place was as described. Beds were comfy although the second bed is only a double so a bit squeezy if there are two in it. Fortunately it was only me. Quite well stocked with the basics and the lava lamp is mesmerising, loved it and all the other retro touches.
