The space
The Chapel is one of three individual B&Bs situated on a five acre property, Bella Cosa in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region. It used to be owned by artist Peter Maddox and is still the home to many of the sculptures he created in his time here.
Rent all three spaces together for a getaway with up to 8 of your friends or family.

Reviews
- Izzy08 Feb 2024The Chapel was absolutely stunning. We had such a great few nights there we even extended our stay! The views on the property at sunset was beautiful, and the welcome breakfast pack was a great touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway for our honeymoon. Will be recommending to everyone I know!
- Elle04 Jan 2024I highly recommend staying here, it's in a beautiful location and right in the heart of the McLaren Vale. If we come back we would stay here again.
Mel's place was very clean, easy to find and it's self-check-in. It is a perfect place to stay for a couple and has everything you need.
I loved that we got breakfast on our arrival eggs, bacon and fresh bread! It is a nice touch.Justine19 Dec 2023Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful and gorgeous house! Clean, bright and open space. Provisions provided were fantastic and helped us kick off our day the right way.
Unfortunately the weather was cooler than usual for this time of the year so the pool was not utilized as much as we wanted.
Great location and easy to find. Would definitely stay again.Jessika19 Aug 2023The Chapel was perfect! So much attention to detail has gone into the space and it instantly feels warm and inviting. Such a unique space that is close to town and of course all the lovely wineries in the surrounds. Mel has also gone to the trouble of creating a helpful site for recommendations. Will have to come back again (perhaps when it's warm enough to use the pool).Tamara13 Apr 2023We really loved our stay at the Chapel. The breakfast provisions were wonderful, bed was super comfy, and the wi-fi is really fantastic (which was great as we had to get some work done while away). Mel was extremely responsive when we needed things throughout our stay, and very helpful. - Sarah18 Feb 2023A lovely gift from our family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. A slightly early check-in was a treat on the 40 degree day we arrived as we could jump in the gorgeous pool straight away! Great a/c, lovely breakfast provisions, comfy bed and our own private and tranquil pine forest to walk through (not to mention fabulous food and wine at the nearby Salopian Inn and Beach Road Wines) made for a wonderful two days away. Thanks Mel!Bec02 Feb 2023A really special little place, felt right at home. Loved the local items left for our breakfast and the opportunity for a dip in the pool. Comfortable bed, great shower, all the basics you need in the little kitchen. Very neat, clean and tastefully decorated. Great location close to town and wineries.
- Stephen04 Jul 2022we found the Chapel to be cosy and comfy. It was clean and tidy, the only problem was that the wood heater was still full of ash which made it hard to keep the logs burning. We just pushed them to the side. Also the pool was not heated, at the time of booking it does say with solar heated pool but as it was cold could not use it, maybe next time. The bed and pillows were amazing, best sleep I have had in a long time. Still a beautiful place and with our private forest. Thank you again Mel and Craig we will definatly be booking again. (Phone number hidden by Airbnb)Kylie10 Apr 2022Really 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.
- Christopher04 Feb 2022Great 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!Nick15 Jan 2022Mel 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. - Carla03 Jan 2022Beautiful 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 getawayVy20 Dec 2021The 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!Skye18 Dec 2021The 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.Grace14 Dec 2021Can’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.
