About this property

Completely off grid Glamping Domes

Imagine finishing work at the end of the day, jumping in the car with an esky and some Pjs and be sipping a glass of red around the campfire within an hour…

No hassle of set up or pack down!

Located a short 50-minute drive from Adelaide, overlooking some of the beautiful hills of the Fleurieu, sits two domes.
Set up, ready for you to relax into the glamping lifestyle…

Our Domes form part of our 35 acre hobby farm and vineyard.

These are exceptionally comfortable for couples wanting to be a world away from reality and completely unplugged and offgrid!
If you're wanting to bring a couple of friends (or the kids!), there is a fold out sleeper couch and single blow-up mattress (by request).

The domes are solar-powered and USB points are available for charging.
While we are waiting for our plumbing to be installed, the domes share a clean and sanitised portable toilet. Please not there are currently no shower facilities.

Each dome has a firepit for cold nights (not available during fireban season).

You don’t have to imagine waking up to this view- you actually can!

YOUR DOME ACCOMMODATION INCLUDES-
King bed
Floor sofa, bean bag, indoor table and chairs
Portable gas cooker & BBQ (gas supplied)
Drinking water & 20L washing water
BBQ utensil pack, cutlery, crockery, wine glasses, coffee cups, platter, chopping board
Gas top kettle, frypan, coffee plunger
Milk, plunger coffee, tea, sugar
Firepit, outdoor chairs
Roasting sticks, marshmallows (non fire ban season). Hot water bottles, standing fan
Solar power for charging phones
Fire extinguisher, fire blanket
Please note- The domes do not have a fridge/food cooling facilities so we advise you to bring an esky (there is no power for a portable fridge of any kind).

We love a good surprise and can help organise special occasion gifts and set up for you as well as arrival platters, heat and eat meals & BBQ packs through our on-site caterer.

Perfect Glamping Experience
I’ll give this accomodation a solid 4.5 stars. It’s a beautiful hidden spot at Yankalilla and TJ is a very nice host. The toilet is not the best but TJ is working on building a new one (Is what I assume). We felt refreshed after our two nights stay here and will surely visit again. PS: the farm animals were a bonus to the stay :)

We stayed in the dome for a night. Roasted marshmallows at night followed by a bbq dinner. In the morning we met the animals and kids enjoyed the playground. Drove to Normanville for lunch- great weekend!

Toilet
The potable onsite toilet was informed at late notice as not working and we were given an alt location to use; however it was a bit of a walk after dark. The Dome itself was nice. Millie, the dog, was very lovely with occasional visits the camp spot, the farm animals was all part of our good glamping experience so we enjoyed it quite much actually. The owner’s responses were all prompt when we contacted and we appreciated his response. :)

Mr and Mrs
Very dissapointed with our stay. This was our second stay in the last 13 mths and thought we would give it a go after having a first time negative experience. Second time round more negative experiences and basically told if we dont like it we were told We can leave. Not that easy when We had spent $300 for a babysitter for our childeen to be looked after. Not to mention the grass needs to be mowed , its ankle high. Now with the warm weather , likey to be snakes in that grass that you wouldnt be abke to see because the length of the grass.

Ok
You cant see outside of the dome while inside due to the filth on the windows. Only got a 1/4 of a roll of tp but they did have a phone number there with instructions to call if you needed more. There was a nice loaf of bread, bottle of wine and lots of other goodies there which was really nice as well as some nice drinking water. The bed and the furnishings where great but a empty shelf to put a few items woulda been awesome. Over all I didnt mind that there was little things like mould on the curtins but the price should have reflected all that but def need to clean the windows

About the host

Hosted by TJ

Host profile image
We fell in love with this beautiful property while on a random weekend drive and were lucky enough to have the opportunity to purchase it in 2019 knowing nothing about grape growing- but we are learning and having lots of fun doing it! We are so happy we can continue to share the beauty of our farm with wonderful guests like you! We are learning so much about sustainability and are always adding to our ever growing collection of farm animals to help service our property, to love and keep us entertained! We love staying at the farm as often as we can and also have a fantastic manager on board who is only ever a phone call away.

Why they chose this property

Allusion Winery is located just outside the township of Yankalilla in the heart of the Fleurieu Coast.
We are an hour south of Adelaide, 30 minutes from Mclaren Vale and 30 minutes from Cape Jervis.
The 35-acre property has stunning views across the valley and out to the ocean.

Our Cellar Door is currently undergoing some upgrades and will be reopening soon.
We welcome all function enquiries including weddings, private gatherings, retreats and corporate events. We have so much to offer and would love to create a package for you. Including- Venue hire Accommodation Local food and Wine Beautiful surroundings (What more could you possibly need?!).

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love our animals and everything they are helping us create here at Allusions.

If going for a stroll around our grounds on our farmstay you will find-
Sheep and their merry ram- Gerald
Our beloved alpacas- Bessy & Becky (they aren't spitters!)
Spike the Horse
The Royal Chicken Family headed by Iosis and Hercules
Ray Martin and Larry Emdur the geese
Dianna the fluffy footed chook
Donna and Heather the barnaveldas
Cayuga Duck family
Wingo, Heidi, Jazz, Vanessa, Kira and Bruce the fluffy head chickens.
Spotty, mimmi, Alan and Charlie our super mousing shed cats

MILLIE-
Our beautiful 12 month old Maremma has joined the team as well.
Millie is here to learn to protect our animals and our property from predators such as foxes and snakes.
Shes is extremely friendly and playful but please do not call out to her or encourage her to approach you as her as she is on a strict training program to learn the ropes.
It is extremely detrimental to her training if she is given any attention.
Maremmas have a very different mindset to domestic dogs and even other working dogs.
After a maremma matures they really need to have a job and feel useful to the farm.
Or they can easily become a hinderance- to people and animals.

We need her to know the animals are much more fun to be around than humans!
If she comes up to you, let her do her 'maremma stretch' and sniff you.
Please do not play with her or cuddle her.
It is her job to protect our farm so she will usually try and suss out who is were and once she is happy she knows what's going on she will head back to the animals.
She is extremely sweet and has a brilliant nature, we promise she is totally loved!

It is extremely important everyone is aware of the rules for Millie’s training and your own well-being.

Our resident koala is Patty and we have an amazing flock of random birds, visiting lizard
and of course our beautiful grazing kangaroos.
