The space
The Gallery 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.

Reviews
- Matthew15 Aug 2024Very nice and peaceful location. There is plenty to do nearby and plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area. This isn't our first time staying at Bella Cosa. Every time it is clean and all you need (apart from personal belongings) is provided already. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing stay.Kara17 Jul 2024Our stay at The Gallery was the perfect little winter getaway and retreat. The bath was wonderful, perfect size for a long soak. The highlight for us was the sculpture trail in the pine forest. Some of the sculptures needed a little TLC, but certainly adds to the charm and character! Would definitely stay again.
- Ellie21 May 2024Beautiful, cosy, peaceful and romantic - perfect getaway for a couple. The house looks exactly like the pictures and the surrounding views are gorgeous. The fireplace and the bath were perfect for our winter holiday. The breakfast using local ingredients was a lovely touch. Only recommendation I might suggest is upgrading the televisions to smarter tvs as we had some trouble and had to use our own devices but I would recommend this space and Mel as a host without hesitation. Thank you for having us!April21 Apr 2024Mel communicated clearly and in a timely and friendly fashion. She was flexible with the checkin time so we could be ready for a wedding.
The Gallery was spacious and clean and welcoming with quality furnishings…the bathroom was well appointed.
The environment was peaceful and easy to find.
We will definitely stay at the Bella Cosa Gallery again.
Thank you, Mel. - Caroline24 Mar 2024We absolutely loved our stay at The Gallery! The room was large and well-appointed for both a short or longer stay, with a big comfortable bed, nice couch, kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, and an amazing bathroom (seriously, I could have stayed in that bathtub forever). The surrounds are beautiful - there’s a lovely forest behind and wineries surrounding the area. It’s located off a road into town. but there’s not too much traffic and the location is very quiet and peaceful. We would absolutely recommend The Gallery for couples visiting the McLaren Vale/Flat area.
- Brody27 Dec 2023Bella Cosa is a beautiful piece of land, the pine forest and sculptures are very enchanting. The property was stunning, very clean and tastefully furnished, with a well equipped kitchen, cosy fireplace, and a very dreamy bathroom! It was a very comfortable place to settle into after a long day exploring the beautiful surrounds.Dominique03 Nov 2023This Gallery was such a treat after being on the road for over a week. Felt like pure luxury! Absolutely spotless, beautiful decor, amazing bathroom and gorgeous outdoor areas. Also conveniently located between some stunning wineries. Thank you for such a fantastic stay Mel, we had the most perfect time at your special place!
- Nicole23 Jul 2023It was absolutely amazing being able to spend our 5 year anniversary there! The space was both spacious but super cosy to spend the time in. The breakfast provisions provided to us were delicious as well! Super comfy bed, with the different pillow softness being able to accommodate both me and my partner's preferences. The bathroom was the highlight for both of us, the double rain showerheads with the bathtub in the middle of the room was incredible!!! With the heater going, the room warmed up nicely. It was overall an excellent space to be in and we will definitely be returning in the future!Jane16 Jun 2023Absolutely enjoyed staying in the gallery. Perfectly located towards the rear of the property with gorgeous views of the forest from the lounge/bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom is huge, I mean huge! The double shower with two rain heads was magnificent and the perfectly positioned bath definitely fits two ☺️
The weather was wet and windy for our stay but made it so cosy inside with the heater/fireplace going. The local produce breakfast provisions were delicious. The kitchen has everything you could need. Would definitely stay again. The info booklet Mel sent out was the best I have ever seen. So informative and helpful for the area. Thank you Mel - Shivangi03 Jun 2023What a great little stay at the beautiful Bella Cosa! Really nicely renovated with a stunning bathroom, very cosy furnishings, yummy breakfast provisions and great host. The overlooking forest is so serene and literally minutes away from wineries, restaurants and all the McLaren has to offer. We had an issue with the fireplace on the second night and Mel did her best to troubleshoot - bit disappointing as the fireplace was a key attraction for us to select this property but it wasn’t something one could just fix right away at 7pm (not really the hosts fault) - we appreciated the effort she took to try and help get it sorted. There was another heater too so we weren’t cold at all and all otherwise was lovely. Would stay again!Ross12 Apr 2023Fantastic stay at the Gallery of Bella
Cosa. We stayed for 4 nights and this was a perfect spot to take in the McLaren Vale region.
Nice courtyard to sit and enjoy the peace, Comfy bed, super bath tub, well appointed kitchen, delicious brekkie provisions and a nice wee fire to warm the evenings.
Would stay here again in a heartbeat - Alkira13 Feb 2023We had such a lovely stay! The spot is so peaceful. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the sunset with a bottle of wine most evenings. The bathroom was incredible and we LOVED the bathroom with the TV on the wall and the double waterfall shower.
The bed was extremely comfortable which is so rare!
