Our dogs had nearly an acre of countryside to play. They were so happy exploring. The cottage is gorgeous. The best night's sleep I have had in years. Solitude.

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

I adore this cottage! It is so quiet and peaceful and the fresh air is invigorating. It is amazing.

Love the French decor!

Locality & Attractions

Just 10 minutes drive out of the city of Victor Harbor and nestled in the beautiful serene Inman Valley on the lower Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. A beautiful valley of farmland and scenic views. An ancient glacial valley. Minutes from Victor Harbor by car. Just 600 metres from the Glacier Rock. Private rural setting at Inman Valley overlooking unspoilt natural farmland, the Inman River valley and ancient River Red Gums hundreds of years old. It has been a working farm and the farmhouse has been restored during 2009 to the highest standards with modern kitchen and bathroom. The property is entirely on rainwater.

Admire wildlife such as kangaroos, echidnas, emus, kookaburras, magpies, galahs and whales. Relax to views of graceful river red gums and the Inman River and beautiful Australian sunsets and night sky filled with stars.

Nearby there are cute little seaside and riverside villages, Granite Island and the fairy penguins, the horse drawn tram car over to the island, whales abound and can be viewed from shore in July and August, wineries, restaurants and beautiful beaches for snorkelling, swimming and surfing.
