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.

Winter retreat
We took a friend there for a birthday getaway in July. A very comfortable stay with plenty of fun had in the games room playing table tennis and pool when it was wet outdoors. Having a cosy wood fire in the evenings was a nice way to stay warm.

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.

Nice place! Not 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! We wont be going back!! Regards Karen Stringer

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.
