Mels place was absolutely perfect, couldn’t recommend highly enough! All the little touches including breakfast and the house had everything you needed for a perfect getaway! Thanks so much again 🙂

Wonderful staycation at Bella Cosa! We loved the location and the character cottage. Equipped with local produce and coffee pods for brunch to enjoy in the gorgeous courtyard. Thanks Mel for the lovely stay x

Bella Costa was a lovely cottage for a couple of days retreat or even longer. It was extremely comfortable, well equipped and the perfect place to visit wineries.
The beds were very comfortable.
The breakfast provisions were generous and there was pod coffee or plunger coffee.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

A perfect private romantic venue. Immaculate facilities and make sure to walk to the top of the forest to witness the beautiful sunset.

Great bnb. Pool was great, and some nice cost areas to relax in

Great location, comfortable apartment, exactly what we were looking for!

Really lovely stay! Enjoyed all of the amenities - it's so good to be able to just turn up and have everything supplied (shampoo, soap, butter, tea towels, hand towels). The Chapel is beautiful and the pool such a lovely treat - we really enjoyed eating our breakfast outside and reading a book.

Great place and Mel is a great host. I will be back Thank you Mel.

Our stay with Mel was amazing we enjoyed every bit of it , would definitely stay again 🙂

Great location, beautiful scenery and spacious living areas, outdoor areas are lovely. Gave us a tip to go and watch the sunset on the chairs in the Forrest over the vineyard and was one of the best things we did! Bathroom is fantastic and has a stunning private view, would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Mel this place was absolutely amazing! Perfect to unwind & close to all local distilleries and restaurants. Beautiful location in the Forrest as well 🙂

Beautiful location and building. Pool area is such a nice, relaxing space. Clean and tidy, we had an amazing weekend away.

Lovely Airbnb! The provisions were great and Mel was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

Thanks so much for a great place and relaxing location. Bathroom was amazing. We cooked on the BBQ a fair bit and relaxed on the comfy bed

We had a lovely stay at Mel’s property. Mel was kind enough to let us check in a bit early and was a great communicator throughout the stay. We loved the bathtub with the beautiful view of our private forest and the cottage was cosy and well equipped. Highly recommended!

Great place to relax and unwind.

Amazing and beautiful, well thought-out accommodation
Couldn't be happier!

Beautiful presentation. 5 stars. Wish we'd been able to stay longer.
Tip - choose the local breakfast products over the wine as we did. Delicious and thoughtful touch.
Thank you Mel.

Perfectly located spot to explore McLaren Vale and all the peninsula has to offer with just about everything 20 mins away. Great for a luxury weekend away

Mel’s cottage is beautiful. Had an oversupply of any appliance you could wish for and was clean and tidy! 5 stars we will stay again if we get a chance!!

Our stay at the Chapel was an absolute delight. The upgrades we saw this time were fantastic. Mel is putting great love and care into the property and is a wonderful host. The pool area is amazing and private. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gallery.
A very clean and lovely property.

A beautiful house in a great location. Reminded us of our travels in Tuscany. Everything you need with all the comforts you could expect from a great Airbnb, highly recommended. We’ll be back if back in McLaren Vale.

A enjoyable stay, convenient location for McLaren Vale

Great getaway location, Within minutes drive from the famous McLaren Vale cube and pizzateca!. 20 minutes drives to all surrounding towns such as Noarlunga and Aldinga.

The open living and mezzanine bedroom makes for an entertaining stay. The outside pool area was well equiped with outdoor living furniture and a gas bbq. The pool is a fantastic touch which was well used. The extra touches of complementary wine or local provision really made feel treated which other air bnb’s do not provide.

Only cons is the Air conditioner didn’t cool down the mezzanine bedroom as much thought. The side door to your living room is the neighbours backyard, and the back fence door did not have a lock on it, open for anyone to open.

All for all, we’ll worth the price. Fantastic stay!

My partner and I stayed here after our wedding for a couple of nights. It is absolutely beautiful and we loved all the little touches that just made the stay so comfortable and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

lovely little place with on a beautiful property mel was absolutely amazing as a host

Very cute cottage, amazing breakfast provisions and very easy to communicate with Mel in the lead up to the stay.

The Cottage is a lovely and affordable home, located next to a pine forest where you can enjoy a pleasant morning or afternoon walk. A great location to stay for a group of friends or family. A lot to do nearby, in the stunning McLaren Vale region. All the wineries are extremely close and many eateries are available only a few minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, and highly recommend a stay at the Cottage.

We stayed at The Gallery as a part of a trip for my 50th birthday and absolutely loved it. It has a great feel to it, very private, romantic, clean, has quality finishes and everything you could want for a great getaway. Awesome self cooking options but also close to shops and restaurants. The location is excellent with both the beach and the vineyards all within a 15 minute drive. Mel was very quick to respond to any questions and the local guidebook that she has created is fantastic. We loved our stay, would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Bella Cosa is such a beautiful location. The Gallery was an amazing B&B to stay in.

Mel has put a lot of thought and effort into this place, the accommodation was great. we enjoyed the pool and the small little extra efforts of things breakfast goes a long way. The website provided also allowed us to experience places we probably wouldn't have been able to easily find. We had a great time , id recommend to anyone who wants to explore the McLaren vale region and enjoys, breweries wineries and distilleries.

Awesome little place in the perfect location. Very close to plenty of good winery’s and restaurants. Great views from the bedroom, bathroom and patio.
I really recommend taking a walk up the backyard between the trees with a glass of wine at sunset!
Highly recommend and would stay again.

We enjoyed a lovely stay. The chapel was a great choice for our babymoon. Very quaint and charming and a pool to enjoy for those warm summer nights

We had the best time for my partners 30th. The pool was an absolute highlight and loved the open plan. The accommodation is walking distance to cellar doors, restaurants, and distilleries. We would be very interested in staying at the chapel again!

Great place! Good location near lots of wineries. Perfect for a little getaway, loved the private pool 🙂

Beautiful spot in McLaren Flat close to town and the wineries. The place was clean and well stocked with a lovely pool area. Mel was a great host and very responsive - check-in was easy and we the online guide was super helpful. We would definitely recommend the Chapel for a fabulous weekend getaway

Great location & cute property with a private pool. Enjoyed our time here. The hosts left breakfast items for us which was lovely.

This place is beautiful. So peaceful and in a great location to discover all that McLaren Vale has to offer.
Super clean and comfortable. Great breakfast materials provided, it could not have been more perfect.

We had the loveliest time during our stay in The Gallery. The welcoming space gave us the opportunity to catch some much needed relaxation during the busy festive period - something we desperately needed and treasured. We were lucky to meet owners Mel and Craig, both lovely, kind folks, that simply want to offer a warm, pleasant and relaxing space for their guests. You can tell by the lovely little touches about the place, such as full hot breakfast provisions, good coffee and a bunch of guest offers from local wineries. We can’t wait to come back! If you’re looking for a special place in McLaren Vale to escape and unwind, you can stop looking now - you’ve found it!

Just want to say thank you for our stay!! Absolutely adorable little chapel, very quiet, private place to stay. We absolutely loved it!

A really amazing place at a great location! Includes everything you could possibly need for your stay. My partner and I absolutely loved our stay and would absolutely love to stay again.

Fantastic Airbnb. Well priced for the area and incredible attention to detail, they’ve really thought of everything here, down to having a charger with three different types of phone cables and body moisturizer/after shave gel for men. Loved it.

The Chapel was perfect for our long weekend away. Mel was very easy to communicate with and has left many thoughtful touches throughout the space, including the locally sourced breakfast provisions which were much appreciated. The pool was our favourite part and perfect for summer. The loft bedroom was also very cool! The location was great - only a stone’s throw from so many great wineries, but also nice and peaceful. We would love to stay here again next summer!

The Chapel is a beautiful house in a perfect location for a romantic getaway. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed to stay for a few days. Mel was an excellent host who provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. She always responded quickly and was eager to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Overall an amazing stay, can't wait to visit again.

Can’t recommend beautiful Bella Cosq enough. Made for a relaxing stay just a short drive from the centre of McLaren vale. ‘The Chapel’ was clean and had everything we needed as well as some special features like the forest to stroll through, stained glass windows, delicious provisions for breakfast and a great private outdoor area.

Great stay. Lovely place!

Wonderful place! Amazing location, beautiful property. Great communication, including a full guide offering info and all the things you could wish for!

Mel had a beautiful place.
Her communication was amazing.
Perfect location. Close to everything.
Would come back!!

Thank you again for having us

The Gallery was a great little place to stay for the two of us. It is fantastic value for money with a great breakfast included and a stand alone bath which is stunning!
Mel was great to deal with, always very quick to respond and very helpful.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Lovely little weekend getaway, my partner and I booked last minute and Mel was very accommodating to our needs.

Definitely worth a visit in summer with the pool facilities. Close to Mclaren vale and pizza tecca.

We had a lovely stay, thanks Mel.

Would stay again

Blown away by how wonderful this place was! Cute, cosy and a bit quirky, it was the perfect romantic weekend for us!

Great place, just what we needed for a weekend away

If you are craving nature a sort of humble opulence, then stay at Bella Cosa. The Gallery was divine. I spent a lot of time in the forest looking up at the sky and just observing the beauty. You can't go past the bath. I chose not to watch the TV that is in the bathroom, because I was there to unplug a little... but I really wanted to.

Absolutely beautiful stay at the chapel! Couldn’t recommend enough, so perfect for a couples trip. close to all the essentials you need and minutes from some of the best cellar doors, won’t be our last time staying here! So relaxing and romantic 10/10!

Absolutely amazing stay!
The views were fantastic, everything looks exactly like the pictures
We will Definitely be back!

Mel's place was very clean and had an a great backdrop being surrounded by vineyards and very close to local restaurants and wineries. The local provisions provided for breakfast were also fantastic. We wouldnt hesitate to stay here again next time we're in Mclaren Vale.

Nice little chapel to sleep in, great location and comfy to live in. Pool is nice but don't expect to swim in it if it's winter, solar heating is only for sunny days as stated.

This place was so nice and tranquil. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are keen to come back. The cottage had very charming decor, was spacious and had great offerings in terms of appliances and supplies.
Fantastic location and hosts made it an easy and enjoyable experience.

This was a great place to stay for the weekend, with all the finer details thought of - from face washers to herbal tea!
We had a wedding nearby and were able to relax and prepare, after visiting a nearby restaurant for a fabulous Friday feast.
Highly recommend!

We loved our stay! The sculpture walk was fun, the location was a great base to explore local wineries and plant nurseries, it was very comfortable & had everything we needed plus extra special touches like breakfast provisions & local wine.

Such an amazing spot, stayed here for a short honeymoon and didn’t want to leave!

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Cosa. The Chapel was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It's location is fantastic and Mel was very quick to respond any time we made contact.

The Cottage was super cosy and had everything we needed. Clean, tidy and really spacious. Great location to all wineries and eateries. Highly recommend

Loved this quaint little cottage. Very clean, next to new cookware and utensils. All we could need plus more. Local breakfast was delicious. Can highly recommend. Checkin was so easy

Beautiful space right next to a forest! Had an amazing time away from the city, so close to wineries and good food. A true gem of a spot!

Perfect getaway - fresh breakfast foods on arrival along with the well thought out itinerary both pleasantly unexpected additions. Accomodation spotless and homey - Highly recommend. I’m sure we will be back!

Very cute and cosy! A great little get away!

Absolute gem of a location - right next to some of the best spots in McLaren Vale. A bath with views of the pine Forrest was my favourite. Breakfast provisions were great. Place was clean and tidy and had everything you could need. Host was great and easy to communicate with - would definitely stay again.

Had the most relaxing weekend away, so close to everything
Produce to make breakfast in the morning was such a lovely touch ☺️

Absolutely loved our stay at The Gallery. It was a very clean and stylish abode. The setting is beautiful and located close to I many wineries. Communication was quick and Mel was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Mel's place to anyone heading to McLaren Vale!

A beautiful place to stay, excellent location, very clean and great breakfast provisions left by the host. Communication was great and even offered a later checkout which was really appreciated. Highly recommended.

Great little place set in the beautiful Mclaren vale. Lovely place & and just a pit stop away from beautiful wineries.

Amazing! Loved the location, the gallery is a beautiful place to stay, with the forest as a beautiful backdrop. I will def be coming back. Thank you!

Great location, good privacy and easy to find

Beautiful and romantic little cottage. Perfect for a getaway.

A wonderful lux Airbnb nestled in the perfect location in McLaren Vale. Just a short drive to many beautiful wineries and lovely beaches at Port Willunga (definitely visit at sunset with some wine and cheese). Recommend to any couple needed a romantic getaway.

Amazing high quality accommodation right in the thick of Mclaren Vale wineries. The bathtub with forestry views in the background was a highlight. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and tranquil was our stay in a nutshell. Highly recommend for couples looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle

Great host and a beautiful location
