Indulge in opulence, immersed in nature…where hearts are wild & free!

VILLA  BnB

Beyond the sweeping driveway, a private VILLA awaits for maximum 2 people to enjoy bushland bliss – NO shared accomodation/amenities….absolute luxury finishes, fused with nature from the moment you step outside.

 

Although only 100m off the main road, you are immediately bound by nature, creating a feeling of serenity. ‘Aroha’ the sleeping villa and ‘Ataahua’ the amenties villa are separated by a romantic rustic path and 13 stairs.

 

Oozing attention to detail and a clear passion for South Aussie flora and fauna, the VILLA is a rare chance to stay on a spectacular ‘working’ property with a twist, where every day feels like a holiday.  Upcycled shipping containers have been meticulously crafted with blackwood ceilings, stone floors and redgum benches (reclaimed timber from Cuddly Creek 2019 bushfires) to create the distinguished contemporary luxury, blended with urban country, whilst spoilt with a Sth Aussie grazing platter, our own freshly roasted coffee beans, country style breaky provisions, organic shampoo/conditioner/body wash and luxury linen which is only the beginning of the WOW factor upon arrival!

 

Across the grounds, ‘The Homestead’, permanent residence for owners, is fenced to ensure the ‘VILLA’ has FULL privacy. The magical view of Adelaide’s endless coastline that meets the sky, is seen relaxing or walking the ‘Possum Trail’, 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 a ‘Night Walk Experience’ where you are able to help owners undertake a fauna survey as part of a responsible wildlife release site (walks past sunset are NOT permitted unless with owners as part of an experience.

 

TOTOKA perculates dedication for SA small business being home to multiple small family businesses and multiple ventures ran privately up at the homestead. One venture being ‘TUF COFFEE’ roasting certified organic and fairtrade coffee, a flavorsome and quirky offering of a ‘Coffee Experience’ is a unique element when staying at TOTOKA.

 

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!
