Super Relaxing
Close to nature, wines and tours, yet the house was quiet, and super relaxing. It has everything you need in a house, and although there was just the three of us there, the layout of the house, gave it a cosiness that other places don't provide. The hosts were very accommodating and attended to our needs promptly when requested - I would definitely stay there again.

This place was perfect! Nestled among nature, close to the fabulous beach, quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed to make for a cosy weekend away. Thanks to the hosts for prompt communication. They even left the light on for us when we were coming in late. Couldn't recommend more!

Weekend Stay
Casuarina Cottage is a lovely, cosy place to stay. The amenities were great and our host was really flexible and helpful with our many requests. The surrounding trees/shrubs provide shelter and privacy and the veranda area superb for social gatherings. Jan

Aldinga Getaway
It's a cute little place and very quiet neighborhood. I like the native trees surrounding the house and it's very pleasant sitting on the balcony. Quite roomy for the two of us. We really enjoyed our stay thank you. Fruit and slice left for us was a nice touch. Would stay here again. Did a few walks in the Conservation Park which was very enjoyable too.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Whitehead

Host profile image
We have lived in this area for 35 years and wouldn't live anywhere else! Jan migrated to Australia from the USA in 1972, David is a 'Barossa Valley boy'! We are both retired from school principal-ship. David now makes beautiful furniture while Jan makes beautiful quilts, writes books about her family, grows vegetables and is an avid cook.We both ride bikes and enjoy travelling abroad and with our caravan in Australia. We are active seniors and love hosting our guests. We live life to the full and feel priviliged to be able to offer Casuarina Cottage to those who choose to holiday here.

Why they chose this property

Having lived in this area, we bought Casuarina Cottage so that others can enjoy a holiday in this unique area. We travel each year and often use short term rental houses. We have used these experiences to make Casuarina Cottage just the place where we would like to holiday. It is equipped for beauty, peace and comfort.

What makes this property unique

Casuarina Cottage is a peaceful haven. It has the benefits of being situated close to Silver Sands Beach as well as offering private on a block full of native trees. In The Aldinga Scrub Conservation area there are many tracks to walk. Kangaroos abound. At The Cottage the deck runs the full length of the house and is perfect for outside lounging, dining and for children to play. Two living areas and two bathrooms make it perfect for family groups. Or have the whole places to yourselves as a couple. Once you've experienced life at Casuarina Cottage, you will want to return!
