About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The McLaren Eye of Kangarilla

The McLaren EYE is a luxury and exclusive accommodation destination to the McLaren Vale. A stunning architecturally designed building with romantic sunsets and moon rises amongst its sweeping views over the Mclaren Vale around to Mt Lofty and down the Fleurieu coastline. With 2 king bedrooms with ensuite each end of the House with a large living pavilion & fully equipped kitchen.

The McLaren EYE will reward our guests up to four people with luxury modern living in an eco-designed building which generates its own power and collects its own water. Its placement on our 55 acre property offers total privacy and security with minimal access allowing guests to be totally absorbed by their surroundings adding bush walking, bird watching to taking in the views with a glass or two of McLaren Vale’s finest, to relax and unwind.

The McLaren EYE is close to all the wedding venues in the region and we will be pleased to work with the bridal couple and the venue to ensure the wedding day experience is exactly how you want it to be.

It has two bedroom suites with utmost privacy; yet uninterrupted views of the McLaren Vale.

The EYE experience is for a minimum of two nights and recommends that the bridal party stay the night before the wedding, be pampered and dress for the ceremony with your photographer taking full advantage of the EYE’s unique features and views.

The EYE has its very own helicopter pad which simply adds another dimension to stay and fly away to Kangaroo Island to honeymoon.

Note; Unsuitable for small children. No Visitor Policy unless by prior arrangement. Sorry no pets.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Amazing property

This is an outstanding property. The location is unique, with seemingly endless views from the house. There was everything you need to enjoy the house as well as many thoughtful details, with everything spotless and comfortable. It's also close to many McLaren Vale attractions, although it's hard to step out the door. We had a fabulous stay at the McLaren Eye!

The view was incredible and the amenities were excellent, particularly the various shutters, blinds and window openers to regulate the temperature without need for heating/cooling. If people are cooking, the kitchen could benefit from some updated frypans, pots, utensils etc. But if you're not really cooking much it has everything you need.

Breathtaking views of the McLaren Vale

We stayed at the McLaren Eye with another couple for the weekend while we attended a wedding nearby. The house is spectacular and the views are breathtaking. The layout of the house is perfect for two couples with plenty of space and privacy. The owners are obviously very thoughtful and made our stay easy and comfortable. We will definitely recommend it to friends and will be back one day!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

First impressions- the views blew us away on arrival and continued to do so for the 5 days we were there!! A windy hilltop, but loved going to sleep listening to the trees swaying. Large rooms with nice clean lines but soft furnishings could do with an update. Loved the brekky but missed a fruit bowl. South Australia certainly offers beautiful landscapes and areas for us to live amongst!!

Best We Ever Found

The pictures encouraged us but could not possibly show how totally awesome this place is. The design, the views, the construction, the privacy, the wonderful managers, the "pet" roos each morning snd evening and so much more. Having stayed at completely awesome places world wide and a few that we thought were THE BEST, our judgement is that McLaren Eye...for many reasons....tops them all.
