This is a non smoking property.
Extra firewood is provided in the box attached to the rear of the cottage just around the corner from the side door (if you need more just ask).
An outside barbeque is available outside your cottage for your use also.
The whole property is off the electricity grid and only uses alternative energy (solar and wind electricity generation), so please minimise the use of appliances that use a lot of power such as hairdryers and irons. (note: no microwave or dishwasher due to off-grid power conservation.)
We have good mobile phone coverage on the property so you will be able to use your own phone and mobile data.

Welcome to the joy of the slow life! Totally off-grid by choice and design, the property enjoys the alternative energy from the sun and breeze, and the warmth of a cosy combustion wood fireplace.

Nestled in a hollow on the ridge overlooking Inman Valley in the Central Southern Fleurieu Peninsula, you have full access to breathtaking panoramic views from your own front lawn/garden, comfy daybed and an outside BBQ.
Part of a larger 3 ha property and hobby farm with friendly alpacas, this is an amazing bird lover's paradise with dozen's of native bird species at home here as well as echidnas and occasional kangaroos.

Managed by owners Michelle & Peter, come and experience their special signature style and service. (This booking site requires a minimum 2 night booking - if you require a special one night only booking, please contact the owners for a quote.

Relaxing getaway
The property was overlooking green farming land which was a lovely view. There were many birds to watch and I now know what a superb fairywren looks like. The cottage has everything you need and the king size bed was very comfortable. Thank you Michelle and Peter.

Beautiful cottage just right for two
Thanks for a wonderful stay! The cottage was a perfect size with everything we needed and beautifully decorated. I loved the lamps and candles everywhere for ambience. Appreciated the provision of lactose free milk for our dietary requirements also!
