We had an amazing weekend staying at Shell Cottage. It was so beautifully decorated and there was not one thing that was overlooked. Staying on a wet, windy winters weekend, the fireplace was a perfect way to stay warm indoors. It felt comfortable, cozy and like a home away from home. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Shell Cottage is an amazing place. Communication with the owners was very clear and they even touched base during our stay to check that everything was satisfactory. The cottage was clean and our dog loved exploring the gardens. The cottage had a spa bath and large outdoor setting which was great for relaxing. We definitely recommend and would love to go back soon.

Shell Cottage is a perfectly renovated cottage within walking distance of the famous Star of Greece and the walkway along the Esplanade.
The interior decor is beautifully presented and everything we needed was waiting for us. Organic sprays and hand washes made it a very pleasant stay.
Driveway is rather narrow but still accessible.
Loved it here and highly recommended.

We didn’t want our stay to end. The gardens with a 360 degree immersion of wildflowers, fruit trees, birds and lavender had our hearts. The thoughtful little add ons were really lovely and the house was so comfortable cosy. A cottage get away that will be hard to forget we will most definitely be back.

This was our second time staying at Shell Cottage. We enjoyed our first time a few years ago so much we decided to come back. We returned with an infant and found Sian and Ed to be extremely accommodating and our stay was perfect!
We spent our time walking to the beach (Willunga at sunset is a must) and unwinding in the house and the great outdoor area. Shell Cottage is really well furnished and thought out, we will definitely stay again!

Everything we needed was there.
We are definitely going back.

This was our second visit to Shell Cottage, this time bringing family from interstate with us. This is the perfect accommodation to explore McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Sian and Ed’s attention to detail is unmatched! Their home is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for having us!

5.0 / 5.0
Shell Cottage is a wonderful property. Sian and Ed were great with communication about everything we needed and said they would be just a message away if we needed (but we didn’t as everything was amazing)! Stayed with our two boys (8 and 4) and there was plent for them to keep entertained and a good sized space outside for them to play. Was a bit cool during our stay but can imagine how perfect it would be in the warmer months being a short walk to the beach! Thank you!!

Shell cottage ticked all the boxes. All the modern luxuries, in a gorgeous character cottage and two minutes stroll to the beach. Both the frontyard and backyard are great for kids, with plenty of spaces to soak up the sun. Everything you need for a relaxing weekend has been thought about and made available to guests. We will be back again soon! Thank you Sian and Ed.

What a gorgeous place, filled with the stunning modern decor.
Cozy fire inside and firepit outside made a platter and wine evening that much better!
Comfy beds, we all slept so well.
Such a good location to just walk to the esplanade for morning walks and Star of Greece for lunch.
We want to make Shell Cottage a regular yearly family get away.
Thanks you Ed and Sian for being amazing hosts.

The cottage was beautifully presented with very good amenities. The homely touches including beautiful books and magazines were a lovely addition.
Sian and Ed were very easy to communicate with and we very much appreciated the late check out.
Looking forward to coming back and experiencing this beautiful cottage in the summer.

Shell Cottage is the perfect place to stay for a holiday in Port Willunga. It is a street back from the ocean and a 5 minute drive to all shops and cafes. The house itself is beautiful, with all the amenities you could ask for! It is perfect for your dog too, with a large enclosed garden. Thank you for an awesome stay Sian and Ed! We would love to come back!

Stayed for 5 nights in June. House was spotless, had all you need and very cosy. Lovely garden, especially the little sheltered front seating area, a real winter sun trap. Only a few minutes walk from beach access and lots to explore!

This property was like walking into a warm hug, coastal country with class. The home owners were friendly and helpful. My friends and I stay somewhere different every year and this is our favourite so far. I would definitely recommend this holiday home. 😊

We had an absolutely relaxing time at Shell Cottage, Port Willunga, so much to do with little time, still managed to chill and relax at the beautiful cottage.
Cottage was equipped with everything you need on a holiday stay and more, extra bonus is the quiet street located so close to the beach.
Our Labrador enjoyed the roomy secure yard and the beach was big hit!
Wined, dined and chilled we are happy. Thank you Sian & Ed, you have a great cottage!

We had a really gorgeous stay here thank you. The house was immaculate and really tastefully decorated with high end bedding to make for a dreamy night's sleep. We enjoyed our complimentary bottle of wine on the front porch & our dogs were super happy in the tranquil garden. A short walk to the beach & close to all of the wonderful attractions in the area, we would highly recommend this gorgeous little cottage.
