Or a short drive to Normanville or Yankalilla which has supermarkets, bakeries, cafes, and numerous shops. Enjoy a really great meal or afternoon tea at nearby Leonards Mill, which has won numerous SA Tourism Awards.

Plenty of off street parking, with room to park your boat or caravan

Second Valley is an amazingly protected beach for swimming complete with great snorkeling, jetty fishing, steep coastal cliffs and bush walks ,old boat sheds and fascinating scenery and geological formations help make Second Valley unforgettable.

Located 91 kilometres south of Adelaide, Second Valley is divided into two parts - the old mill on the main road and, down the valley to the sea, a tiny coastal port reminiscent of a Cornish fishing village.

Second valley is ideal as a Kangaroo Island stopover only 15 mins drive from the ferry or 20 mins from Deep Creek Conservation Park with its spectacular scenery and bushwalks. A short drive to several stunning golf courses and plenty more to see and do.

The location of Clare's Cottage is fantastic - within an easy 100m walk there is a convenience store, playground, beach and historic jetty.

Pets are welcome, however the property is fenced but not secure.

Directions

Second Valley is about 91km's South of Adelaide, or about 1.5 hours drive.

You can follow Main South Road all the way from the CBD to Second Valley and on the way you will pass through some of the fine districts that make the Fleurieu Peninsula so spectacular - McLaren Vale, famous for its' wines, Willunga and the Farmers Markets, Yankalilla, Normanville and then following the road right alongside the ocean you will come to Second Valley and turn off at Leonards Mill.

Continue down Finiss Vale Drive. Turn right at Catlow Rd and then left onto Grundy St and Clare's Cottage is number 4 on the left hand side.

Plenty of room
The only thing was the lack of curtains or blinds at the front windows. There was no privacy or shade from the afternoon sun. Also could do with the manual to work the microwave... we were at a total loss how to work it. Apart from that the place was really nice. Thank you regards John & Sheila.

Spacious house close to beach
Nice house with 3 good bedrooms. Good kitchen and bathroom. No extras at all so bring everything, especially cleaning and soap pump. Unfortunately the front garden and driveeay were an overgrown mess and cover picture not what we saw. The bin was very smelly for at least three days. We left the house very clean.

Top location, cute place! Disappointed in cleanses, I had to clean before we used anything, so i should get the cleaning money back, obviously its not getting done, also pizza box under bed. Everything overgrown, have now scratches on vehicles n dead rat out by bbq. Couldn't play table tennis as tripping on flooring! The host should have respect and pride for this property!

Clare's Cottage
Comfortable accommodation, beds especially. Quiet location. Almost everything you need. Could have been cleaner. No shampoo/bodywash etc or gladwrap/alfoil. Have to bring own linen so a bit pricey considering. Back rumpus room had many redback spider webs, so we couldn't use it.

Great getaway
Gorgeous little beach getaway, teens and I had an amazingly relaxing break. Hosts had provided everything needed and info about what wasn’t included to make it a perfect short getaway at one of the best beaches in SA. After talking to locals, and experiencing it firsthand, can confirm this is a great quiet corner of Second Valley.
