We are situated at 365 Rifle Range Rd, McLaren Vale (5171), nestled in the foothills above the town. While our 50-acre property offers secluded, off-grid tranquility, we are still just minutes away from McLaren Vale's world-class wineries, cellar doors, and restaurants.

Yes. Monapilla Escape welcomes families, having been thoughtfully created for parents who would love to “escape” but need—or happily choose—to bring the kids along. Our focus, however, is on providing a tranquil and peaceful retreat for all guests, rather than a children’s fun-park destination. To help preserve that relaxed atmosphere, each villa can accommodate a maximum of two children, including infants. Our villas have also been designed and decorated to provide a beautiful space for adults, in other words they are are not child-proof and we don’t appreciate children running amok! We’d rather be upfront with expectations to avoid issues during a stay. Thanks for your understanding.

As your hosts, we strive to provide outstanding service from the moment you book. You can choose whatever check-in style suits you best: opt for an easy self check-in, or let us know if you'd prefer a personal greeting and a quick tour of your accommodation. You will receive a detailed Guest Guidebook well before your arrival date so you can prepare and make the most of your stay.

We have purposely avoided the "tiny home" trend to give our guests plenty of room to breathe. We offer two very spacious, family-friendly villas. Each features:
A master bedroom with an ensuite
A second bedroom and a second bathroom
A generous living area
A private elevated balcony with spectacular views over the vineyards, grazing land, and ocean sunsets.
Please see the Floor Plan on the Accommodation page

A special feature of Monapilla Escape is its seclusion and privacy. Located near the end of a country dirt road, and secure behind locked front entrance gates, your privacy is guaranteed. For added security, a CCTV camera is placed at the front gate and one overlooking the carpark at your accommodation. They are clearly visible and are positioned to ensure your privacy is maintained.
A personal valuables safe is located in your accomodation.
To ensure everyone’s privacy and security, only registered guests are permitted at Monapilla Escape. Prior permission is required if you are wanting to make arrangements that require others to enter the property.
