About the host
Hosted by Scott Mazzone
My wife and I are from Adelaide and have been hosting for over 7 years. We have 3 properties in South Australia that we manage in the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Second Valley. Each property has been uniquely renovated and designed based on our interests and what we think fits with the specific location and property type. We get great joy out of hosting guests at our properties and hope that each guest appreciates and enjoys the properties as we do.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I have spent many family holidays at Second Valley and the Fleurieu Peninsula. The Fleurieu Peninsula has a magical feeling due to its beautiful landscape and coast line. The drive from Adelaide to Second Valley is an experience in itself boasting unforgettable views and wildlife. Second Valley is a hidden gem, containing a very small and friendly community, private beach, jetty and bush walks at the doorstep of Wattle Bird Shack. The view of the sea and hills from the deck is invaluable. It feels rural and remote, but with only a 15 minute drive to the closest major town, Normanville. When we stay, we never want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Between the hills and facing the ocean you'll find the Wattlebird Shack. The space heroes its scenic views and oozes unique, inimitable charm inside. A fun mash up of antique and contemporary, Wattlebird Shack is a whimsical gem in Second Valley that's Second to None.
