Banskia Retreat: Wanderers' sanctuary by the sea

Nestled where the bush meets the sea, our charming retreat invites you to unwind in natures embrace.
Thoughtfully curated as a tranquil sanctuary, for couples and solo wanderers, Banksia Retreat is your escape to serenity.
Just steps away from Aldinga Beach and with a captivating view of Aldinga Conservation Park, let the soothing sounds of the ocean and the rustle of leaves be your companions during your stay.
Relax, rejuvenate, and create cherished memories in this cosy retreat.

Step into Banksia Retreat, where every detail is carefully curated for your comfort and relaxation. The queen-size bed, adorned with soft linen bedding, promises a restful haven after your adventures. In the fully equipped kitchen, discover the joy of preparing meals with ease, adding a touch of home to your getaway.

As the sun sets, the back deck comes alive with festoon lighting, creating a magical ambiance for evening conversations or simply unwinding under the stars. Overlooking the Aldinga Conservation Park, the deck provides a front-row seat to nature's beauty, offering glimpses of plentiful native wildlife. The rain shower head in the bathroom transforms your daily routine into a luxurious experience, offering a moment of pampering and rejuvenation.

Beyond the amenities, our retreat is a unique space designed for you to rediscover yourself and strengthen connections with your loved one. It's more than a place to stay; it's a home away from home, beckoning you to unwind, recharge, and create lasting memories.

Nestled just steps away from Aldinga Beach and Pearl Restaurant, continue your exploration with a short drive to Port Willunga Beach and Star of Greece. Savor local flavors at Goodness Coffee Co and Little Rickshaw.

Delight in a 10-minute drive to Willunga Farmers Market, Russell's Pizza, and Hither and Yon cellar door. For wine enthusiasts, indulge in McLaren Vale's world-class wineries like D'Arenberg, just 10 scenic minutes away.

Extend your adventure with a 15-minute drive to Myponga, home to the Myponga Reservoir, Yore cafe, and Smiling Samoyed Brewery.

This coastal haven, where the bush meets the sea, seamlessly blends beauty, culinary delights, and world-renowned vineyards—an enriching experience for every traveler.

We gratefully acknowledge the Kaurna people, the traditional custodians of the land where Banksia Retreat resides. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present, and emerging. May your stay be filled with the warmth and connection that this ancient land has to offer.

Banksia Retreat is accessed via the private road in the Aldinga Bay Holiday Village, with a single dedicated parking space out the front.
The cabin is yours to enjoy in its entirety.
Shared spaces include the pool, BBQ area and laundry facilities.

Aldinga Beach is one of the few beaches in Australia where cars are permitted to drive on sections of the broad sand, making access to the beach especially easy. It is renowned for its safe swimming, expansive sandy areas and extremely family friendly which sees the population in the local area boom come summer.

A little patch of seaside bliss less than an hour from Adelaide and mere minutes from McLaren Vale’s award-winning wineries. A popular year-round destination, Aldinga Beach is an underwater playground brimming with marine life and a rare reef formation awarding this stretch of coastline as one of Adelaide’s best dive spots.

Trails at Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park take in dunes, rare orchids, echidna anteaters and birdlife, and nearby Thomas Street Reserve is a grassy seaside picnic spot. The relaxed dining scene consists of cafes, pubs, fish-and-chip shops and world class restaurants with incredible views. Wineries in the nearby McLaren Vale region offer tours and tastings.

It is great to have a car for exploring the area and doing day trips to all the amazing places you can access easily from Aldinga Beach. However public transport is just a short walk away should you need it and we can help advise local tour guides for winery tours etc!

All bedlinen and bath towels are included, however we do ask you to please bring your own pool and beach towels.
A portacot is available on request.
