The Gallery

Absolutely stunning place! It was so peaceful and had stunning views of the Forest out the back, have never had such a tranquil shower before. Definitely recommend for a quiet getaway with a partner, or as a home-base for an extended trip in the area!Mel was extremely helpful and provided great recommendations, and getting around was easy enough with Cabs/Ubers if you can’t drive 🙂

Beautiful stay with a beautiful view, cozy, warm and wonderful little get away place !

Lovely, peaceful location to relax for a few days. The space was perfect with everything as described including the bath with a picture perfect view of a forest. Everything in the McLaren Vale within 10 minutes.

Great location… nice big bathroom with a big bath and shower. Comfortable bed too. Close 5/7 mins drive to great spots! We were there for 5 nights and had a relaxing stay. Thank you!

The perfect place to relax and unwind, everything was beautiful and lovely outside areas, love the rustic style

A lovely relaxing experience at the Gallery. A terrific base to explore what the region has to offer.

The place was absolutely beautiful, everything on the picture is exactly what you find. The host is an active communicator. We loved the place. It was very peaceful.

Absolutely loved this place the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at

great quiet, peaceful location, perfect setting for adventures around the wonderful McLaren Vale precinct

Wow! Clearly lots of thought has gone into making this a cosy and functional space. The fully equipped kitchen and the double vanity/shower in the bathroom were functional and very much appreciated, while the elegant details and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pine plantation made the space feel luxurious. Our family stayed in the chapel next door with a pool which was extremely convenient! Not to mention the locally sourced breakfast provisions were delicious. Thanks Mel, we wouldn’t stay anywhere else next time.

Absolutely stunning property. Could not recommend Bella Cosa highly enough. Beautiful, thoughtfully designed and furnished throughout. Even better than the photos. And that bath! We were in town for the Tour Downunder and could not have picked a better location.

We absolutely loved our long weekend stay at the Gallery at Bella Cosa!The place was very comfortable and the McLaren Vale area is stunning.We enjoyed utilising the kitchen, board games and also the bath to relax with a view! We would definitely stay again next time we visit the area!Thanks for having us Mel and Craig.

Had a great time here and would love to come back some day!

The Gallery at Bella Cosa is a beautiful space to spend a few nights in the heart of a spectacular wine region. Massive bathroom, fully fitted kitchen and comfortable bed makes it a place you look forward to getting back to after exploring what the region has to offer.

Thanks Mel, we had a great break away. We were close to great wineries & eateries. Our stay at the gallery was really enjoyable!

great place to stay! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was convenient, and the host was very responsive and helpful. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommended!

It was beautiful and very peace fully and close to everything we will come and stay again 😊

We had a lovely anniversary weekend stay at Mels place and especially loved the huge bathtub with a view.

Great spot to stay!! Loved the local bread, eggs, etc that were prepared for our stay. Was just wary we needed for a little get away!

This is a very lovely property set in a little forest which creates a sense of privacy and tranquility. We stayed here for our first anniversary and it was the perfect location to allow for a balance of quiet with easy access to the wineries and the town of McLaren Vale. Highly recommend this property for those seeking the same. The property has everything you need (well-fitted out kitchen, lovely comfortable lounge space and bed). But the highlight is definitely the amazing bathroom with a bath overlooking the forest and a massive shower space for two.Would definitely stay here again (in winter, to take advantage of the fireplace!)

great location, really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely space near to plenty of wineries, yet set in a serene location. Very well decorated space with plenty of art to enjoy.

Great location to lots of locations within a short drive. Very easy check in and a private forest to explore at sunset was lovely. Well worth a walk to find the deck chairs in the forest!

Was an excellent stay. Great location and beautiful property. Will be visiting again!

My wife and I had an amazing stay. Lovely, quirky studio with everything you need. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom. The information guide supplied explaining the hidden gems in the region was fantastic. Breakfast provisions were delicious. Mel was extremely proactive, responsive and clear with information. We would stay here in again in a heartbeat.

Spectacular as always. Thank you.

Beautiful stay, the host was great to communicate with and even sent us a digital guide of the area and all the things to see and do! The accommodation was beautiful, very clean, cosy and stunning views.

Beautiful place to stay which is super close to restaurants and wineries.

Beautiful property! Highly recommend. The view is lovely, peaceful and great for a sort getaway.

Very stylish and relaxing stay. Thoughtful and well stocked breakfast options, surrounded by great walking trails, wineries, and dining.

Mel's place is a great location to explore the McLaren Vale area and Fleurieu Peninsula. We had two nights at the Gallery and it is a perfect couples retreat. It is set in peaceful surroundings, spotlessly clean and the bathroom is amazing. The end of August meant it was still a little cold, but so warm and relaxing in the cottage.

We had a lovely relaxing couple nights at bella cosa. the location is fantastic. they beautiful bathroom was a highlight. thank you ☺️ we came home feeling refreshed

beautiful little cottage lots of awesome art plenty of great views peaceful and relaxing lots to do

Bella Cosa exceeds every expectation! The Gallery is so spacious and well furnished with everything we need. It is near McLaren Vale, 5 min away, and minutes away from great vineyards. Mel and Craig were super responsive when I had a query after check in. This accommodation is one of the highlights of my Adelaide trip. I would recommend highly.

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Rosa. The accomodation was easy to find due to the clear instructions from Mel. The accomodation was excellent. Everything we needed was provided. Comfy, cosy accommodation.

A very pleasant and peaceful spot with good provisions and central to the Southern Vales. Accommodation is well suited to all climate conditions with both indoor and outdoor options.

A great location and left very calming and quiet. Building itself was lovely and spacious, super warm as well. Hosts were so easy to communicate with as well.

Bella Cosa is the prefect getaway for you and your partner, especially during winter! Loved every minute and wish we were still there relaxing in front of the fireplace

We spent two nights in The Gallery at Bella Cosa.Firstly our hosts were helpful, informative and very responsive to all queries.The attention to detail at the property was absolutely incredible. Spotlessly clean, equipped with everything we could possibly ask for and such a tranquil setting.Highly recommend and will definitely be booking another weekend get away soon.

The place was perfect for a couples getaway. Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful, and the place was clean, comfortable and well designed. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful location, had everything we needed, and a lovely touch with the complimentary breakfast food. Great communication from Mel, and really easy access to property with code as key.

Such a beautiful Airbnb. The forest views are amazing and the home was very cosy and comfortable. Mel was an amazing host. Will definitely come back.

Great place to visit. We had a great holiday.

Amazing space, very close to all the local spots! The view from the bathroom was mesmerising and the space itself was very homey! Definitely will return at a later date. The hosts provide a guide for the place as well so you can be informed ahead of time of their local recommendations etc. We had a lovely time!

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 nights stay in the Gallery accommodation. The location is perfect for exploring all the local area has to offer. The host Mel was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist us. I would highly recommend staying at Bella Cosa.

✨Forest and vineyard views - what more could you wish for?! ✨. This AirBNB had it all from the views, to a fireplace (no work required might I add!), private and intimate bathroom with his and hers shower and bathtub with full view of the trees above. Close to town, with plenty of local reviews of wine choices. Thanks to the host for this homely stay!

Our stay was absolutely beautiful, everything was clean and had such a homey vibe. My Husband and I spent our honeymoon here and it was the perfect getaway, we left feeling relaxed and stress free

Mel and Craig were excellent hosts. Happy to accommodate our requests and answer any questions we had. Their place is stunning surrounded with peace and tranquillity... Exactly what we needed! Thank you

We loved this place for a quick weekend away! Felt right at home! Thanks guys! Would definitely stay here again!

I had a fantastic stay at Mel’s. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was very responsive and made check-in and check-out easy. The location was perfect, quiet and relaxing. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Lovely stay. Everything from check in to checkout was absolutely perfect, would highly recommend Bella Cosa!

The Gallery was the perfect wine country getaway. We felt completely removed from everything and able to relax and unwind but were only minutes from cellar doors, restaurants and more!

Absolutely loved our stay at Bella Cosa, lovely old gallery furnished beautifully and especially enjoyed the bathroom with the pine forest views. Yummy breakfast goods provided which was a really nice touch . We will definitely stay again 😊

Thanks Mel and Craig for hosting is. This place is an absolute gem and we were so well looked after.
Communication was fantastic and very impressed with the app!
We enjoyed walking through the forest and watching the sunset from the porch!
We benefited from the wirra wirra wine tasting 2 for 1 deal - thank you!
Will recommend this little gem!
Thanks Mel and Craig

We had a very relaxing time at a very well appointed and great location that is close to Main Street of McLaren Vale

Such a perfect little spot, easy access but private, the window from the bathroom out to the forest is a highlight

Perfect place for a quick getaway.
Peaceful, well equipped and comfortable.
Lovely outdoor areas and well equipped accommodation with quality inclusions and farm fresh breakfast.

The cottage itself was excellent. If you live in the city, you may not notice the road noise. But for us it was a little off putting for such a beautiful location.

Beautiful place, secluded, very clean and had everything you could need! Mel was a lovely host. The breakfast food was amazing!

A very peaceful and beautiful stay!

Very comfortable stay. Nice touches like beautiful breakfast provisions, quality soap, shampoo and conditioner. Lovely throw rugs to enjoy the cool morning outside on the outdoor setting. Would definitely recommend:>

the place was spacious and looking out to the Forrest made it feel more secluded, while very close to town and wineries.

We had an absolutely beautiful stay at The Gallery in Bella Cosa. The atmosphere was stunning, and we felt truly spoilt with all the thoughtful touches and goodies provided. The location is so peaceful, offering the perfect escape. The guide that Mel and Craig have put together is fantastic—clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to access the property and use the facilities, along with plenty of recommendations for things to do nearby. You can really tell they care about their guests and are dedicated to creating a wonderful experience. A special mention to the sculpture art by Peter Maddox, which adds such a unique and artistic flair to the space. It was the perfect blend of beauty and tranquility. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

Staying at the Gallery, Bella Cosa was a fantastic time. It was a gorgeous little spot down the road from McLaren Flat and offered a private getaway within reach of all that the McLaren region had to offer. The Gallery was all we could ask for in a short stay, with a cozy feel that made us feel right at home.

The Gallery was absolutely stunning, one of the best appointed bathrooms I've ever seen as well as an immaculately furnished space. We also really enjoyed the wander through the sculpture woods, with the seats and blankets up the top a delightful touch to help us watch the sunset in comfort. The local guide was very helpful, and the local provisions provided were delicious. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in the Vale. Thank you so much!

I stayed at The Gallery at Bella Cosa.

The place is cozy and stunning!!

The highlight was bathroom with the bath looking to a window wall facing the bush.

This is very romantic cottage that invites you to relax and enjoy.

I strongly recommend Bella Cosa for any romantic getaway or if you simply want to treat yourself to peaceful weekend of indulgence.

We had such a lovely stay at Bella Cosa. Great location and easy driving to shops and surrounding wineries. The cabin is well equipped and has everything you possibly need for a romantic getaway. High recommend!

Bella Cosa (The Gallery) was such a great little weekend away. Such a hidden gem. Absolutely loved the way everything was set out and the bathroom with the view is just something else. No negative comments to give about the place. We truely loved it.

Was the most beautiful rustic Airbnb we’ve stayed it. Mel was amazing and super responsive. We will be back 🤍

Beautiful, peaceful cottage with an awesome bathroom, delicious breakfast and everything you need. Recommend walking through the sculpture forest to the top of the path and sitting in the chairs to watch the sunset.
