The property did not meet expectations and we left early due to its poor condition and overall experience.
Location
Our experience at this property was extremely disappointing, as the reality was significantly different from what was advertised in the online photos and listing.
The kitchen and living room had a strong smell of pets, and the entire property was covered in cobwebs, including doorways and various decorative items. The outdoor furniture was also covered in cobwebs, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, giving the property a very unkempt appearance.
The photos advertised glass shower partitions; however, these appear to have been removed. As a result, when showering, water would spread throughout the entire bathroom, leaving the floor extremely wet and creating a significant slipping hazard. This was not only inconvenient but also raised a genuine safety concern.
We were also constantly attacked by mosquitoes, as the doors do not appear to have adequate seals to prevent insects from entering the property. This made it very uncomfortable to enjoy our stay.
To make matters worse, there was construction taking place on neighbouring sites, which was not disclosed anywhere in the property listing. This was an additional inconvenience that we had not been made aware of before booking.
Our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived. When we went to check in, we had not been provided with the necessary information or access details to enter the cottage. We had to contact Bookings for assistance, only to discover that the contact phone number provided on the website was disconnected. This created unnecessary stress and inconvenience from the outset.
The communication issues continued throughout our stay. On the second-last day, we received a message from the owners advising that the cleaners had accessed the property, found our belongings and wanted to know when we were checking out. This caused considerable confusion and anxiety, as we were still occupying the property and had not expected cleaners to be accessing it.

Heritage, vines, views and relaxation- what more could you want
The cottage was loaded with heritage but had the mod cons of heating and a well set up kitchen. If you expect 5 star hotel stay this is not for you. If like us you want a cottage full of charm, quirks, character and great location to explore the vines and coastvthis is gor you. We spent a day due to really bad cold weather in the cosy kitchen nook, loving the views, playing cards, cooking up a storm and enjoying wine we had bought in region plus the great bottle of shiraz provided by host. My friend loved the bath tub on deck that was really hot compared to the 2C windchill weather we experienced. Heating got the cottage warm and it remained warm for rest of weekend.
2 nights wasnt long enough! Lugging an enormous suitcase up the hill - recommend packing lighter next time 😀

A weekend in Willunga
It is so beautiful and relaxing inside. Very clean and everything provided 😃
Magnificent views and lovely decor. Very comfortable beds.
My only problem is that I didn't know that it was a very steep pathway from the road.
I unfortunately have a heart condition which caused me a problem when trying to go up the path. The property is not for elderly or disabled 😕 but fabulous for the fit and healthy ❤️

Moderately steep path down to cottage...would benefit from a hand rail to make it safer for those staying at the cottage...particularly when arriving with 🧳 luggage.
