Koora Nest Secluded Bushland Escape in the Hills

Just an easy drive from Stirling’s dining scene, Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, and the wild beauty of Belair National Park, this peaceful retreat offers the perfect balance of nature, comfort and convenience. Begin the morning with coffee on the balcony as sunlight filters through the trees, then unwind in the air-conditioned lounge or cook in the modern kitchen. With a sleek ensuite, on-site parking, and all the essentials, this is a comfortable base for exploring the best of the Adelaide Hills.
Privately tucked among the gums, this two-storey, pet-friendly guesthouse is designed with comfort in mind. Entry via the upper level leads into a bright, open-plan living area filled with soft natural light and bushland views. A cushioned sofa, armchairs and textured throws create a warm, restful atmosphere. Step out onto the private balcony, set with a café-style table for two, and enjoy slow moments surrounded by birdsong and trees.

The fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy, with all the familiar touches of home—full-size oven and gas cooktop, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, and Nespresso machine. The adjacent dining table for four is perfect for shared meals with friends. After meals, step out to the front courtyard for fresh air and quiet moments beneath the native trees.

Downstairs, the bedroom features a king-size bed layered in crisp linen, soft pillows, and plenty of natural light by day, with a blackout blind for uninterrupted rest. The ensuite is stocked with complimentary toiletries, fresh towels, and a hairdryer for your convenience. A tucked-away laundry with a washer, drying rack, iron, and hangers ensures longer stays feel just as smooth.

Two private parking spots are located right out front. Climate comfort is thoughtfully considered, with split-system reverse cycle air conditioning and heating in the living area, and a gas heater in the bedroom for cosy nights in. Please note that the guesthouse is located at the base of the driveway, while the host lives separately in a brick home at the top. There are no shared spaces, so privacy is assured throughout your stay.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire guesthouse to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, this quiet location balances privacy with convenience. Just a four-minute drive away, enjoy steaks at Jimmies or flavourful Indian at Indi’s. A five-minute drive leads to Stirling’s buzzing dining scene, including Thai at Sala, sushi at Saiyuki, and modern Australian at Miss Perez, with cosy cafés like Kondi, Red Cacao and Marshi’s close by. The Stirling Market, held on the fourth Sunday of each month, brings together local makers and seasonal charm. Within ten minutes, explore Mount Lofty Botanic Garden’s lush trails, themed gullies, and lakeside paths. Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary is also ten minutes away from your stay, offering close encounters with koalas, platypuses and dingoes. Belair National Park is 12 minutes away, featuring scenic hikes and mountain biking through native bushland.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
