Glorious garden setting.

Stayed in April 2024

The grounds are lovely and the buildings very much in keeping with the Tuscan ambience. The cottage was away from the main road and we loved the peace and privacy. The cottage is beautifully furnished with attention to every detail - eg sprigs of lavender on the linen. The provisions for breakfast were a bonus.

The beds were super comfortable and furnishings great. It would have been helpful to have a small table and chairs for eating meal inside. It was too hot to use the outdoor tables and chairs. I imagine it would be uncomfortably cold in winter outside as well. This being said there is no way we would stay anywhere else Yankalilla except the Olives

Breakfast wonderful as we arrived too late to get in supplies for the following morning

Quiet, peaceful, great location, private, clean, tidy, great amenities and good value for money. One of the best places I have ever stayed.

It was self check-in. The cottage was so well hidden in the gardens we were t sure whether to head left or right at the end of the driveway.

The Garden Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for two nights. Serene, private, and in stunning grounds. Small touches such as fresh breakfast provisions created a welcoming feel.

The Cottage was perfect!! Right down to the lavender on the towels!!

The option was available to cook or go out for breakfast! Mark kindly provided breakfast food also which was unexpected but very nice!

Were surprised considering the above(well appointed kitchen)that there was no little table and chairs inside . We were lucky with the weather so could eat at the table on the patio using the outdoor furniture. A small round table could have replaced the large sideboard under the television or a rectangular narrow one which could have fitted.

Very generous breakfast we were not expecting most welcome after a long drive from Melbourne Kitchenette so well equipped could cook an excellent meal with ease

Very well appointed venue. Provisions were more than adequate and very much appreciated. The surroundings were lovely- it was nice to wander around the gardens that had lots of little nooks to explore. Equally as nice to sit and enjoy the view from the barn.

This holiday cottage is situated in a beautiful private garden surrounded by ancient, and very big, olive trees. There are two bedrooms on either side of a central sitting and kitchen space, with comfortable king (or king single) beds.The owner's house (which dates from the 1850s, with an 1870s front) is nearby but the cottage is very private. The garden is very impressive, especially for such challenging soil and climate, based on a long lawn with stone wall terraces and extensive planting of ivy-geraniums, oleander, lavender and such like. A pear tree near the house is supposed to be one of the oldest in SA. There is a nice country walk, if fairly lengthy, going out the gate and around the town and back, through the rolling hills of Yankalilla. The main street has some interesting buildings going back to the 1850s, notably the tiny Anglican church, which is usual openand had good stained glass, leading to the beach at Normanville. It is a good base for doing the McLaren vale wineries, as well as Strathalbyn and Victor Harbour, and you can even do a day trip to King Island from the ferry further down the coast.

As we are older, a table (even a small one) inside would have been nice.

Breakfast provisions were amazing. Fresh seasonal fruit delivered by Mark, Gardens were really worth exploring. The extra touch of fresh flowers. Lavender on the towels too!

The peaceful surroundings and wonderful garden. The family had a great time playing hide & seek. The stars at night are phenomenal.

The lack of a complete kitchenette (not having an oven and cooking tops) was the only negative, but the restaurants were pretty close (a 7min drive).

Excellent location and plenty of space to walk and relax for the whole family. Very clean house, secure and comfortable. A lot of effort has been put into maintaining the house and the huge garden.
