We had a delightful stay in Yankalilla/Normanville, and a good part of that was thanks to Watson Park. It’s an unusual place, part of a 5 acre property, with a lovely rural feel and a view over the sea in the distance. Everything was well apportioned and comfortable. The kitchenette was perfectly stacked, the armchairs very comfortable, the bed lovely, the bathroom quirky but excellent. The host welcomed us and helped us settle in. The area is super for exploring the coast, walking in the bush, cuisine - we highly recommend Aquablue on Normanville foreshore. Check out the Information centre between the two towns for more recommendations.

The only possible drawback is that the property is up a hill on gravel roads, enough kms from the two towns to make walking not a viable option.

The pictures on Booking.com really don’t do the property justice. It’s a really cute little place furnished beautifully and just the right size for one to 2 people. The owners have decorated it beautifully. When you first walk in to the property, there’s a king bed and a TV in the bedroom with side tables adjacent to this room is a dressing area and place for your bags. Walk-through into a bigger room there’s a kitchen to your left and lounge area to your right and a table already for you to have dinner with plates cuddling and glasses set out for you. There’s plenty of reading on the bookshelf and a TV overhead. If you arrive early enough, you can open the French doors near the kitchen and sit out side with the view of the ocean and a sunset. In the morning, walk around the beautiful garden and see the kangaroos nesting underneath the trees . The place is so close to little towns around the area and it’s such a beautiful spot .

I’m a coffee lover so the addition of a coffee machine would be awesome

We have stayed at Watson Park 5 times over the past 2.5 years. It’s the perfect coastal spot for a break from ‘city working and living’. The gardens are immaculate, the facilities more than adequate and Jan & Richard are always welcoming & accomodating. We love that we can travel & relax with our mini schnauzer too, and the town of Normanville (& beach) is very dog friendly. BB Bear 🐶 loves our trips down south.

Nothing! We wouldn’t have returned to stay, as many times as we have, if we had any dislikes 😃

We brought our own breakfast however there were adequate continental breakfast supplies if required. The location was great with bush and country views and the seas in the distance.The accomodation inside was great and very clean. The location was very quiet and the setting was perfect. Everything was as described and the price was relevant to what we experienced.

We did not feel there could be any improvements on what we experienced

Beautiful location 2 Km outside Normanville on the hills with Ocean views. Quite and only one BB cottage on the property. The owners, Jan and Richard were very friendly and made sure any requests we had were met. We stayed 13 nights and used it as a base to play golf and tour the Fleurieu Penninsula, including Kangarooo Island

Nothing to dislike!

It was a lovely location, the accommodation was very comfortable and clean with modern facilities and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very tasty with very thoughtful extras like dip, savoury biscuits, wine, chocolates and biscuits. We also loved the thoughtful touches like the lavender, fruit in the bowl, books, extra towels etc.

The small shampoo, conditioner and body wash samples had all been used by other guests, it was ok though as we had brought our own. We would have preferred individual jam/spread portions rather than opened pre-used jam jars, just our own idiosyncrasy, not a complaint. Again we brought our own, so all ok :)

Gorgeous property, quiet, lovely touches and finishes, hosts were very accommodating. In a quiet area with a tranquil view over the gardens to the ocean. Few minute drive to the local town and ocean, close to McLaren vale. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would stay again!

The location, host couple and overall place was truly wonderful. Sitting on the nearby bench with the sunset over the ocean and hill with the resident roos was so beautiful and absolutely worth the money. And the hosts themselves were truly lovely. They even had little Christmas bonbons for us on arrival!

Perfect location, very comfortable bed, awesome shower, tasteful furniture and furnishings, rural setting with ocean views, lovely hosts, absolutely everything you could possibly want, highly recommend

Nothing, it was perfection!

Breakfast supplies generous. Views were amazing. Outdoor seating areas fantastic and gardens very welcoming. A wonderful rural setting, peaceful and invigorating.

Door needed on toilet. Hairdryer would have been appreciated. Towels could have been softer & fluffier.
