Treetop Sanctuary Serene Cottage near Mount Lofty | Cottage in Crafers West
1 Bedroom Cottage in Crafers West
Perched among native gums, this treehouse-style cottage offers a unique, elevated stay surrounded by forest views. Earthy timber finishes, vibrant splashes of colour, and curated vintage pieces create a warm retreat that feels both playful and serene. Cosy up by the crackling wood fire on cooler days or step onto the private deck for alfresco BBQs beneath the sun. Though secluded, you’re only moments from Mount Lofty Summit, Cleland Conservation Park, and Stirling’s charming cafés and eateries.
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind cottage retreat nestled high among the trees in Crafers West. Its treehouse-style architecture and rustic log cabin exterior create a serene escape where time slows and the outside world fades away.
Step inside to discover an inviting living area with high ceilings, warm timber floors, and soft leather lounges gathered around a wood-burning fireplace — a perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the Hills. Splashes of bright yellow bring warmth and creativity to the open-plan space, while large windows draw in natural light and leafy views. With split-system air conditioning and a wood-burning fireplace in the living area, this haven ensures year-round comfort.
The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, a gas stove, an espresso machine, and all the essentials for home-cooked meals. The adjoining dining area features handcrafted timber furniture, leading directly onto a generous outdoor deck — the true heart of this hillside hideaway. Out here, you can dine alfresco beneath the trees, fire up the BBQ for a relaxed meal, or sip wine in the hanging egg chairs as the light shifts through the forest canopy. Surrounded by native plants and birdsong, it’s an idyllic space to pause and reconnect.
The cosy queen bedroom offers a restful retreat with soft lighting and greenery at every window. The bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower, complemented by a separate powder room and private laundry with a washer for convenience.
