This gorgeous cottage had everything we needed in a lovely rural setting but conveniently close enough to both the city and hills. ##### Meryl H.

Thank you Julie! ##### Heather L.

Julie was terrific - always responsive and never intrusive. The cottage was private, extremely comfortable and with adorable touches that made it very enjoyable. We woke to the birds singing, and although we didn't see lots of fauna, the baaing of the local sheep was a delightful background to fabulous sunsets. Happily recommend this cottage. Also, we found the nearby Crafters Hotel wonderful for dinner, along with (the second night) the Stirling Hotel, a little further along the road. Great location for tastings, since it is near some very good wineries. ##### jo i.

Have stayed at many nice places all over the world in my 80 some years, & Sophie's Cottage & Julie are at the top of my list. Truly exceptional in all respects. Rob & Carole ##### Robert m. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter H. 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful place to stay If every place we traveled was as superb as this cottage, we would be super happy. The hosts are fascinating to talk with. They have a keen interest in exceeding our expectations and they were incredibly helpful. We left a plastic pitcher that we use to make nutritional supplements at the last place we stayed. Not only did Julie volunteer to go to the store to find us one, she would not let us pay for it. The cottage itself was really pretty and fully equipped. The area was just beautiful and we saw multiple koalas within a 5 minute walk of the cottage. The area teemed with a variety of birds. The ability to take walks in really pretty pastures was a bonus. The cottage was conveniently located to multiple national parks as well as the city of Adelaide. While we have traveled extensively in Australia previously, this was the first time we spent time in the Adelaide area. On our next trip, we plan to come back and stay a week in the cottage because it was such a great experience. ##### Peter H.

Our host Julie was exceptional, making sure we arrived safely, gave great recommendations of the area and provided personal touches throughout the cottage, tailoring for our baby and our toddler. We all enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will certainly come back and recommend to our family and friends. ##### Katie M.

Julie has renovated the cottage to a very high standard and it feels very homely and inviting. She goes out of her way to help and make sure your stay is perfect in every way. Would certainly recommend to anyone to stay and hopefully we will return one day. ##### Carmel H.

Attention to detail, very generous provisions. Beautiful surroundings. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Not to be overlooked. ##### stuart m. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish A. 4 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful Adelaide Hills Cottage Our short break (2 nights) was everything we had wanted. The cottage was beautifully furnished with lots of little touches that made it special - chocolates and super soft dressing gowns - but it was the location that was the knockout. So close to the city you could see the lights, but so far away we were greeted by a mob of kangaroos, flocks of cockatoos and rosellas, plus magpies and kookaburras all visible outside the kitchen window. We could’ve easily stayed longer. ##### Trish A. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin 14 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The hosts have gone to great lengths to make this cottage luxurious, welcoming, all while maintaining the charm of this historic farm cottage. Guests are welcomed with fresh produce, flowers, cooking supplies and all the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay. The fireplace makes it even more cosy and the view across the hills and to the sea is stunning. In the mornings we could catch glimpses of beautiful birds, roos and other wildlife. The proximity to other Adelaide Hills destinations such as restaurants and cellar doors is an added bonus. 10/10 ##### Justin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [THE ONE Boutique Hotel & SPA Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-THE-ONE-Boutique-Hotel-SPA.h27059030.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabrouk Hotel And Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agadir-Hotels-Mabrouk-Hotel-And-Suites.h31782046.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Huntingdon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntingdon-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d4665-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Peppers Waymouth Adelaide](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adelaide-Hotels-Peppers-Waymouth-Hotel.h891083.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Copenhagen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copenhagen-Hotels.d178252.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Widecombe in the Moor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Widecombe-In-The-Moor-Hotels.d3000457021.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wedding Hotels in Playa de las Americas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-De-Las-Americas-Hotels-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d182363-tWeddingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hilton Frankfurt City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Frankfurt-Hotels-Hilton-Frankfurt-City-Centre.h142502.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Best Oasis Tropical](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mojacar-Hotels-Hotel-Best-Oasis-Tropical.h1201487.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Newcastle-upon-Tyne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d6084526-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza Adelaide by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adelaide-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Adelaide.h44902282.Hotel-Information) > > [Iperion Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rethymno-Hotels-Iperion-Beach.h13454402.Hotel-Information) > > [Adelaide Riviera Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Adelaide-Hotels-Adelaide-Riviera-Hotel.h27632.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Bordeaux Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bordeaux-Hotels-Novotel-Bordeaux-Centre.h26308.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Waterloo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waterloo-London-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6047475-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Georgian Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-The-Georgian-Townhouse.h900733.Hotel-Information) > > [Aydinbey Famous Resort - Ultra All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belek-Hotels-Aydinbey-Famous-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1315217.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [KLM Manchester (MAN) to Amsterdam (AMS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/klm-from-manchester-to-schiphol/kl/man/ams) > > [Flights from Piarco (POS) to Seawell (BGI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pos/bgi/port-of-spain-to-bridgetown) > > [Flights from Cork (ORK) to Bristol (BRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ork/brs/cork-to-bristol) > > [Jet2 Birmingham (BHX) to Santa Cruz (FNC) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-birmingham-to-cristiano-ronaldo/ls/bhx/fnc) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Manda Island (LAU)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lau/london-to-lamu) ### Packages > [Eastbourne Bandstand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Bandstand-Eastbourne-City-Centre.d6268952.Attraction) > > [Zrće Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zrce-Beach-Novalja.d6100866.Attraction) > > [New Cairo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Cairo.d6339926.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Silver Lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Silver-Lake.dx3000663210) > > [Visit Les Deux Alpes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Les-Deux-Alpes.dx553248633894397288) > > [Visit Lake Geneva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva.dx6052366)
