Pet-friendly Roseheath House was fabulous!

How wonderful to be able to holiday with our pet dogs. They loved sleeping in front of the fire. Such high quality accommodation and pet-friendly too - It is unique.

A fabulous unique property. We didn't want to leave! Stunning!

At night I marvelled at the millions of stars in the sky.

We fed the family of magpies and we were enchanted by the native finches and wrens.

This cottage has so much character, I adored it.

Locality & Attractions

The Shrine of Our Lady of Yankalilla - On August 24 1994 an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on the wall of the Anglican church in Yankalilla, about one hour's drive south of Adelaide. Since 1996 pilgrims have been coming to this church from all over the world. Yankalilla is the world's newest Marian Shrine. It is also the second known apparition of Mary in an Anglican church. The church has become almost as famous for an unusual series of events around the shrine as it is for the Apparition itself. Holy Water is available from the Shrine Well, and visitors are welcome to attend the Shrine Mass for the sick each Sunday at 1400.

Sister Mary Mackillop's school opened 1867 is nearby and 5 minutes easy flat walk.

Its a wonderful half hour country drive across the beautiful Inman Valley to Victor Harbor and all the hustle and bustle attractions, whale watching and more surfing and cute seaside and riverside villages.

A rare stone cottage with interior stone faced walls that are 3 foot thick in places. A huge 'Ponderosa' stone fireplace. Thick beamed ceilings. Formerly the Blacksmith's cottage and originally built back in the 1860s.
