About this property

Molly's Chase Mollycoddles, Log Cabin B&B


Molly's Chase offers quality accommodation in 2 log cabins, tucked away in over 50 acres of natural, hilly bushland. Each cabin has two queen size bedrooms with spa bathroom and separate loo. There are separate living, dining and kitchen areas.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE NOW HAVE A SEPARATE HomeAway LISTING FOR OUR MOLLYFIES COTTAGE. Both cottages are identical and out of sight of each other, so offering peace and privacy. You can book either one, or book both cabins for a bigger group. Base booking of 2 people is for one room only. A linen fee applies for use of the second room when only booking for 2 people.
Mollycoddles cottage faces east with wonderful views over our valley and beyond, to Quarry Hill.
Mollyfies cottage faces west, with views towards our seasonal lake.

Cabin features include DTV/DVD, with a selection of CD's and DVD's. There's a combustion wood stove to cuddle up in front of, as well as reverse cycle aircon, free wifi, and outdoor barbecue area. There is a fully appointed kitchen with a microwave and gas cooktop, and all the crockery and cutlery you'll need. All bedding and towels are provided, as well as light breakfast provisions, which are left in the cabin on your arrival.

We have some lovely walking trails on the property, and the wildlife lovers won't be disappointed as we have several species of kangaroo and wallaby, as well as wild deer and magnificent bird life. If you're lucky, you might also see echidna and long necked turtles. For the bushwalker, the Spring Gully Conservation Park is nearby, at the end of Leighton Road.

We are handy for the amazing Riesling Trail, with around 60 kms of cycle/walking trail, which winds through the Clare Valley. Cycles can be hired from Cogwebs in Auburn or Clare Valley Cycles, and they can be delivered to your cabin.

Obviously, one of the main attractions for visitors is wine, but we now also have a number of local breweries too. With around 40 Cellar Doors, you can taste some of Australia's finest wines, with a good chance of meeting the Winemaker.

Our local hotel in Sevenhill was recently rated the best country dining venue in South Australia, with great food and the best range of Clare wines anywhere.

Clare township is a 15 minute drive away, and has a good range of shops, supermarkets and services.

Other attractions nearby include Mintaro, a National Trust listed historic village, the amazing Martindale Hall and the historic mining town of Burra.

Your 4 legged family aren't forgotten either. Well behaved and house trained dogs are welcome and are allowed to run off leash around the property. All we ask is that they stay off our soft furnishings, and are not left unattended in the cabin.

Excellent little house, I do recommend. Just a few concerns: nail coming out of the carpet near the lino, a centipede wandering around in the room, and hidden cost that goes beyond the Stayz booking itself. Also the combustion heater can't be used between November and March or April so bear this in mind too.

Secluded but close to wineries etc

A lovely cottage, well equipped, in secluded area, with peace inducing views, yet close to wineries and restaurants of Clare, Watervale etc. Suited our needs perfectly and we hope to return in the future.

Lovely quiet get away

Surrounded by bushland and overlooking the valley. It's a cosy log cabin with everything you could want, including spa bath. You feel like you're miles from everything but Clare is just 5 minutes away.

Just perfect

Such a cute cabin with an amazing view. There are so many good wineries and food options within a 10 minute drive, but it still has an awesome feeling of isolation and tranquility. Our dog absolutely loved sitting and watching all the birds fly around. We can't wait to come back!

Idyllic rustic relaxation

A cosy cabin away from the hustle and bustle of life. Conveniently located to wineries, with the bakery and pub down the road, whilst being an idyllic 'remote' location away from it all. A traditional country cabin experience with beautiful views and excellent hosts. And best of all, dog friendly. Can't wait to return.

Mollycoddles Cabin Winter 2025

We have been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively over many decades and stayed in all manner of accommodation. Mollycoddles Cabin, on the Mollys Chase property is as good as any other cabin of it's type that we have stayed in. Everything about the whole experience was extremely good. Website description was accurate, the payment process went well and communication from the property managers was excellent. The rural location is isolated from the usual popular locations in the Clare Valley but close enough to be convenient and we loved it. The log cabin style accommodation itself is very warm and welcoming and in excellent condition. All appliances worked well (not always the case) and beds and sofas very comfortable. The kitchen was large with plenty of bench space, crockery, cooking utensils etc. Everything we required was provided including firewood for the combustion heater which for a mid-winter stay was a real bonus. Views from the front verandah and dining table are nice, particularly when you get a good sunrise. Very thankful that we were able to take our dog along, he loved the open space and bush. Overall a fabulous week for us and we thought was good value for money. Cheers H and N.

Serenity!

A cosy and serene getaway. Perfect for those like us who love a quiet fire and a view, and bonus points for the spa bath! But also a wonderful way to unwind after a big day if you're the 'out-and-about' type. Perfect place to stay with free roam doggos.. we were nervous about ours chasing the Kangaroos, but then we found the plauqe dedicated to the owners dog who loved to do the same which was really special. Cabins look exactly like the photos, but the view is even better in person! Emma/the service staff made everything so effortless, including leaving the heating on and some port on the table (perfect for us who arrived in the dark and torrential rain). There was instructions for just about everything, including all appliances, starting a fire, and what to see and do locally, which were very helpful. She was also very prompt at getting back to us about queries. All in all it was everything we'd asked for, and we will without a doubt be back again!
