About this property

Kookaburra Cottage is right on the doorstep to some of the most popular tourist hotspots of Mount Gambier & the Limestone Coast region, whilst providing countryside tranquillity. The cottage is a 10 minute drive from the City of Mount Gambier, home of the Blue Lake and Valley Lake Precinct. We are located in the small farming town of Yahl, which is the perfect location for exploring all that the Limestone Coast Region has to offer.

Enjoy a soak in the outdoor claw bath whilst stargazing, roast some marshmallows around the firepit, get up close with our pet alpacas & sheep, & enjoy all the modern cottage offerings of this home away from home.

Kookaburra Cottage is a 3 bedroom modern country cottage.
It boasts a main bedroom with queen-size bed, ensuite and private outdoor claw foot bath area, a second bedroom with queen-size bed, and a third bedroom with two single bed's and a dedicated office nook.
It features an open plan living/dining/kitchen area with plenty of cosy lounge-room seating space to take in the country views. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking during your stay and includes a Smeg pod coffee machine. Ducted heating/cooling is throughout.

Outside there is an undercover carport, parking spaces for up to 3 cars, and a large fenced and private front lawn surrounded by paddocks. Our Alpaca herd and two pet sheep reside in the neighbouring paddock and love being fed Alpaca grain, which you'll find in a tub by the fence. A delightful experience for the kids!

There is a firepit area with rustic seating and wood supplied to enjoy, an outdoor table, and Webber-Q barbecue for outdoor cooking.

Little Rippa Brewery and Caroline Hills Winery are both located 2 minutes away & are close enough to cycle to for a wine tasting, beer paddle or a woodfired pizza.

The Blue Lake, Kilsby Sinkhole dive site, Port MacDonnell beach, Glenelg River (great for kayaking!) and Umpherston Sinkhole all lie within a 10-30 minute drive from the cottage.

Perfect

The pride and respect they have for their cottage (and guests!) was evident in every detail of their thoughtful hospitality during our very comfortable five nights with our three children. Thank you very much.

Beautiful and kid friendly

Everything was beautiful. The kitchen was great and the pantry had some supplies beyond what we'd normally expect. The kids were obsessed with the alpaca and sheep, which they got to feed.

Awesome hideaway

This is an absolute gem of a property 5 minutes outside of Mt Gambier. It is very well equipped with everything you could want. We cooked and ate in most nights and it was a breeze. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit the south east.

About the host

Hosted by Liana Anderson

We are an outdoors loving family of four that have a love of exploring and travelling. We are a Carpenter & Teacher duo that share a passion for creative projects; and find it hard to sit still! Chris enjoys woodwork and creates hardwood furniture as a side venture, and Liana can often be found in her vege patch. We have two young children that keep us busy and we love nothing more than taking them on day trips to local places to create family memories. We have loved our experiences with short term rental homes over the years and have always wanted to create a home away from home for others to enjoy in the Limestone Coast- that creation is Kookaburra Cottage!
