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.

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.

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

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

Location good. Gardens were a peasant surprise & very calming. Lounge and kitchen could do with an upgrade. Some condiments in need of top up. Beds were comfy to sleep in. Basket of goodies lovely. Communication with owner, good. Thankyou.

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

Gorgeous space

We loved the cottage. It’s compact and sweet but had room for us, our two teenagers and our doggo. Thoughtful touches on arrival were provisions for breakfast and snacks for our stay. Quick walk to the beach.

Great Little Getaway

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 15 October 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.

Great location a place to stay

The property was very clean, comfortable, allowed us to bring our dog and had a good back yard for her. The goodies basket on arrival was very much appreciated. Our GSD gave this a 5 paw rating. And so did we.

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 👍👍👍

Great place and location

We stayed at Boho Cottage for 4 nights, with 2 kids. Everyone loved the house. The place was clean and had everything we would need. Nice touch to find some basic supplies at arrival. We walked to the beach and Star of Greece in about 15mins. Recommended if you are looking for a touch of character plus convenience.
