Lovely lakeside cottage
We loved our 3 day stay at the cottage. Very peaceful and right near the water which made sunsets from the deck fantastic. Also within a relatively short drive to the Langhorne Creek wine region. The cottage has everything you need.

Fantastic little hideaway.
What a wonderful secluded quiet little cottage with amazing views right on the lake. My partner and I spent 3 nights away from the hustle and bustle of city life and we couldn’t have asked for a more quiet and secluded place for a romantic getaway. Highly recommend this place and will be returning at our first opportunity.

Mmm
The location was great. The cottage was tidy. Unfortunately the dust was overwhelming.. Opening the windows did not help, due to the curtains were holding alot of the dust. I had alot of breathing and sinus issues due to the dust. The deck had so many spiderwebs. Going by the guestbook. The last people stayed in the first week of jan 2025. I thi k that was the last time it was cleaned. Not impressed with the dusty conditions.Whole place could use and update and a paint.

Relaxing getaway
Relaxing and peaceful weekend away, just what we needed. Very beautiful sunset’s. An amazing array of wildlife to be seen and heard. Words cannot describe this little piece of paradise on the Murray, amazing. Sunset Cottage was amazing also with everything you needed. Very comfortable and cosy little cottage with an amazing front deck over looking the lake. One of our best holidays, can’t wait to return. Stephen and Joanne

Tranquil, private and relaxing
This cottage is rustic and cozy. Every thought is given to the comfort of guests. The owner, Di, is pleasant, communicates clearly and has the best guidebooks I have ever seen for a holiday house. We spent three nights and made friends with a magpie couple and their two babies. A wonderful place for a couple to relax and recharge, only metres from the waterfront. The decking is beautiful and suits all weather. The WiFi is fast and we were able to bring along an Amazon Fire stick and watch movies without trouble. Highly recommend!

If you want to relax Sunset Cottage is the place for you.
Sunset Cottage is located in the most serene and beautiful location. The cottage has this amazing deck that opens out onto beautiful green lawns overlooking the water. You can sit there mesmerised by the calmness for hours. The cottage itself is adorable with two generous bedrooms, well appointed bathroom and a kitchen if you feel like cooking. We made most use of the large bbq outside. The perfect place to unwind and explore. We pulled our little ski boat up out the front and explored the water and then when we wanted to explore by road there was plenty of options with Milang 10 mins away and Goolwa and Strathalbyn about 25 mins drive. We will definitely be back!
