Illustrious ‘Bungalow’ BnB and boutique ‘Shindig’ venue, nestled in nature with breathtaking views across Adelaide’s pristine coastline.

Totoka Urban Farm

TOTOKA simply is like no other!  22 glorious acres situated on the urban fringe of southern Adelaide Hills, TOTOKA is a perfect blend of native tranquility, city lifestyle and a million dollar view that will take your breath away!  

 

Only 14kms from Adelaide’s CBD festival mecca and immersed in the Adelaides Hills world-class food and wine region, TOTOKA opens a plethora of opulent experiences to indulge in.  Conveniently located to world renowned locations such as Hahndorf, McLaren Vale Wine Region, Fleurieu Peninsula, City Festivals, Glenelg and our pristine coastline.  Wish to enjoy the amazing Barossa Wine region or Kangaroo Island Paradise, then a private helicopter will whisk you away for the day (weather permitting) right from the lawns of TOTOKA or fly in for a grand wedding entrance! 

 

A boutique farm running multiple businesses, only using ORGANIC practices (oodles of weeding by hand) producing fruits, garden vegetables, herbs and flowers!  Roasting certified organic and fairtrade coffee for WHOLESALE business ‘EXTRACT BLACK COFFEE ROASTING CO.’ TOTOKA perculates dedication for SA small business.  Quirky chickens (yes they have personalities) are hatched and bred at TOTOKA and of course provide the delicious farm fresh breakfast staple!  Proudly growing an abundant of chemical-free produce, complimented by predominantly South Australian grown and certified organic and chemical-free produce, a flavorsome and quirky menu is a unique element! 

 

TOTOKA does NOT open to general public, so as an exclusive private property, owners Adrianne and David pride themselves on their illustrious landholdings that are only offered to those wishing to indulge in NATURE and LUXURY.

 

Oozing attention to detail and a clear passion for South Aussie flora and fauna, the bungalow BnB stay is a rare chance to experience a spectacular ‘working’ property with a twist that every day feels like a holiday!  A distinguished contemporary luxury blended with urban country, nestled in nature, TOTOKA invites you to personalise your story!

 

Beyond the sweeping driveway, 2 private bungalows await for maximum 2 people to enjoy bushland bliss.  Although only 100m-200m from the main road, the bungalows are immediately bound by nature to create a feeling of serenity. ‘Aroha’ the sleeping bungalow and ‘Ataahua/Ngaio’ the amenties bungalow are separated by a romantic copper lit path and 13 stairs.

 

Across the grounds, ‘The Homestead’, permanent residence for owners, is fenced to ensure the ‘Bungalows’ have privacy. ‘CASTAWAY’, a fire pit/seated area, is shared with the homestead, a MUST visit to enhale the magical view of Adelaide’s endless coastline that meets the sky, a perfect place to say ‘I do’!  The ‘Pirlta Trail’ (Possum Trail) is a beautiful, short scenic walk by day where one can see the possum release boxes from SA Wildlife Rescue, however by night transforms into a santuary of nocturnal wildlife that can be booked for an ‘Night Walk’ experience.

 

Every thought has gone into the development of TOTOKA including names, a beautiful fusion of Indigenous and European origin; passion for Kaurna country with 5 generations of farming on Kaurna country, owners Maori and European heritage and a love of Pacific Islands where owners married on Castaway Island 2005, in a boutique wedding.

 

TOTOKA is for those desiring a well-earned break to focus on oneself; body, mind and soul. With date nights few and far between, it’s a great opportunity to take the time to reconnect.  You can do as little or as much as you like.  With a large window above the bed, where a TV would have been, there is no choice but to relax, immerse in wildlife and soak up the sunshine not screen time! 

 

Smelling the sunshine or dancing in the rain, nature is true medicine with no shortage of fresh air at TOTOKA. Even when it rains for days and fogged in for weeks, the magic that beholds TOTOKA is indescribable.  You too will fall in love with TOTOKA, so much you will be looking forward to your return stay at our stellar, one-of-a-kind urban farm!

Absolute recommend a couple days at Totoka! It oozed a relaxed vibe,  abundant and incredible SA food and the experiences offered made our special trip away PERFECT!

Surrounding in nature and with such spectacular views, it feels like a world away from suburbia.  The bath and ensuite was indeed luxury with quality bath towels and the floor heating. Totoka has truly paid attention to detail and we look forward to returning for a longer stay!
