About this property

The Little Luxe Hideaway - Slow Living Escape

The Little Luxe Hideaway — Slow Living Escape, Port Willunga
This gorgeous eco retreat is the perfect escape for couples, families, and friends wanting to experience the best of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Just a short walk to the famous Port Willunga Beach and dramatic coastal cliffs, you’ll be surrounded by great coffee, world-renowned food, and only minutes from the McLaren Vale wine region.
Recently renovated, the cottage features two queen bedrooms with crisp cotton linens, comfy mattresses, and built-ins for a restful night’s sleep after a day at the beach, walking the Willunga Basin Trail, or exploring vineyards.
A classic white weatherboard — think Nantucket style — this eco-gem runs on solar power with rainwater tanks, filtered drinking water, and an organic food forest where you’re welcome to pick seasonal fruit and vegetables.
Inside, cosy living spaces include an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge with leather sofas, a wood heater for winter nights, and a reading nook. Gather around the dining table for fresh local produce, board games, or long chats. For chilled evenings, enjoy Netflix and high-speed Wi-Fi.
French doors open onto a large pergola overlooking the lush garden. Wander through veggie patches, lawns, and flower-lined paths alive with birdlife. The outdoor dining area is perfect for long lunches, while the fire pit (May–September) is made for red wine, storytelling, and marshmallows under the stars.
After lazy summer swims, rinse off in the outdoor shower scented with flowering frangipanis. Practical touches include a Miele front-loader, old-fashioned Hills Hoist, and all linens provided — even beach towels.
Throughout the cottage, you’ll find vintage pieces, antique art, and handmade details that make the space truly unique. Every corner has been styled with love and comfort in mind.
The Little Luxe Hideaway — eco, stylish, and welcoming. We can’t wait to host you.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lovely cottage, clean and close to the beach!

Our stay was lovely, very clean and had all the amenities. Short walk from a great beach. A central location if you want to go to the city or see other beaches. The garden was also so nice, a great place to relax in the sun and read.

The house is beautiful. Very quiet location, but 3 minute drive to shops and beach. It is everything you could want for a chilled getaway. Has heat/cold blown air system which is great for all weather. The beds are very comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much that we didn’t want to leave. Hope to be back soon

Brilliant BOHO

Magic little cottage, short walk to coast line and Star of Greece Restaurant. Wineries a short drive and plenty of facilities close by. Overall a really enjoyable stay with very considerate hosts keeping a respectable distance.

Hi Pauline, we are so glad you enjoyed your time at Boho Cottage. Thanks so much for the wonderful review. We really appreciate it. We are happy to have helped you with your specific requests throughout your stay (camping chairs/ last minute late checkout etc). Since we no longer live in the area, we feel it's important to have local help assisting and available at all times (24/7) to ensure our guests are attended to in order for them to enjoy a 5 star experience. This is part of the service we provide and as always is our main goal. Thanks again.

Perfect holiday escape

The cutest little cottage that had personality and charm and made us feel like we were on holidays. We really loved being able to light the fire each night and snuggle up on the comfy couches. The backyard was also a gorgeous space with lots of seating options, our one year loved exploring (and eating fresh cherry tomatoes from the veggie patch!) We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook if we were holidaying in the area again! Thank you to the lovely hosts.

Neat as a pin

A neat and cozy place. Comfortable bedding and a lovely backyard outlook. Very quiet neighbourhood and handy location to nearby Port Willunga and Aldinga. Beach towels very handy as we ventured into the waters at Port Willunga! Would have loved to use the wood combustion heater if we had been staying for a longer visit.

Wonderful Willunga!

This delightful cottage is perfect for a holiday in Willunga. Everything has been provided for your comfort and convenience. Our Host Alex was amazing....so considerate and thoughtful....ensuring the cottage was pre-heated for our arrival, supplying complementary wine/nibblies and offering a later check-out if required! The cottage is beautifully furnished and the gardens provide a private haven for BBQ's and outside entertainment. We enjoyed our stay immensely....just wish it could have been longer!!

Hi Gillian, we thoroughly enjoyed hosting you both throughout your stay! Just to confirm, this cottage is in Port Willunga (not Willunga) which is on the coast. Willunga itself is a small village not too far away but further inland. Hope to see you again soon! Alex

Hi Anne-Maree, Thanks for your feedback. The decor chosen for the cottage is in line with a rustic/scandi style. Therefore a new white kitchen and modern furniture is not the desired look of this cottage. We appreciate that we all have different tastes. 40+ photos are online for review prior to booking. We have been premier hosts for quite a few years now and our typical reviews reflect the same. Kind regards

Wonderful little cottage in quiet neighborhood. Very clean with everything that you need provided. Our family (including fur kid) all enjoyed our stay, especially relaxing in the backyard. Would definitely recommend to others looking for a mini break away from the hustle and bustle. Alex was helpful and quick to respond to any queries.

Short holiday in Port Willunga

Our host kindly offered us an early arrival time. We thought the bed was clean and very comfortable the hot water was instant - excellent in fact. We are veteran B&B-ers and have plenty of stays to compare Bo Ho with. Our immediate perception - pretty garden - then inside lets the property down. The cottage is small and clean( yet grubby looking) - the attempt at “shabby chic “ is there but also “grubby chic” - tiny kitchen about 2x2 metres square - good fridge but awful stove - the plates covered in black-it. For the price per night it would seem a dishwasher would be appropriate. Down the narrow hall to bedrooms were a mish-mash of various floor tiles giving the overall grubby impression. New bathroom and toilet were appreciated. Breakfast supplies ( basis) a few nibbles were really good. Overall we would rate this property as a 3 star rating. Michael & Patricia

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 15, 2021
Boho has been operating for 4 years. We have received no less than hundreds of 5 star reviews throughout that time. We have allowed the kitchen and floor tiles to stay as it provides character and a reminder of the history of the cottage. We find this look endearing and stylish as have all other guests. We have no intention of creating an ultra modern cottage, we prefer the rustic scandi character look. We have been hosting for 5+ years and have renovated many character properties. We are highly competitive in terms of price which is why the cottage is extremely popular. This cottage might not be suited to the elderly and those with special needs.

Anniversary getaway

My husband and I spent our 9th wedding anniversary at Pt Willunga. As we were married in the McLaren Vale it's a bit of a tradition to stay and do wine tasting! We loved that we could bring our dog with us; the property is fully secure and a great location for beach walks. All the extra touches helped make the experience amazing - welcome hamper, pantry essentials, bathroom supplies, and cosy blankets!! Would definitely recommend 👍👍👍

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

With such lovely character and beautiful garden it was hard to resist this cute little sanctuary. The moment we stepped inside the warmth and tranquillity was real. A perfect weekender for total relaxation. Location wise the most stunning scenery and delicious local produce on your doorstep with famous restaurants and markets just around the corner. A beautiful walk to Port Willunga beach via linear park, the fresh air, listening to the waves rippling, the birds bathing, the lovely community, the local produce: food and wine to die for. Add to this the stunning landscape; limestone cliffs, olive groves, vineyards, pristine coastline and the Adelaide foothills. A tranquil, cosy haven in a stunning region with plenty to see and do - or not.

What makes this property unique

Amazing location for local food and wine lovers with the famous Mclaren Vale wineries only a 10 minute drive away and the famous Star of Greece restaurant only a short stroll. Pristine beaches, sunny days (even in winter). Where vineyards and olive groves meet the sea. Perfect place to visit on route to Kangaroo Island.
