A modern designer cottage sitting atop a 12 acre property with 360 degree views of the beautiful and bountiful wine growing and ranching region of The California Central Coast next door to a world renowned Bio-dynamic Winery.

A large deck for outdoor dining, drinking, watching our local wildlife and contemplating the joys of life. A spacious open plan sitting and dining area with central island with more of those panoramic views outside. Ideal for communing, chilling and enjoying the epicurean delights of wine country. Two spacious double bedrooms with high quality queen beds, freshly ironed linens and a European bathroom complete with a large walk in rain-head shower. Perfect for resting and refreshing. A bocce ball court with a view to die for, and miles of trails if you are feeling energetic.

All this only 12 minutes off the 101, in the heart of over 100 wineries, a 15-minute drive to the bars, restaurants and shopping of Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero and 30 minutes to the coast from Morro Bay to Hearst Castle.

Our cottage is designed for adults and sleeps 4. It has every thing you need for a memorable stay on the central coast, for a weekend, a week or a month.

Our kitchen comes with everything you need to enjoy meals at home with an outside BBQ that might have one of the best views of any BBQ in California.

The home is a contemporary design reflecting the owners' international travels and has all the comforts of home including high quality freshly ironed bed linen, towels, bathroom supplies, hair dryer and plenty of wardrobe space.

Super efficient heating & a/c. Filtered water. High speed WiFi on a property that is to all intents and purposes 'off the grid' and self-sufficient. We try to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum.

Outside there are 13 acres grazed by deer, horses, cattle, sheep and llamas which guests can walk around. Guests are also welcome to use the bocce ball court which might have the best views from the court anywhere.

We live on the property, and will welcome you with a package of local delicacies along with a native's knowledge of things to do in the area. Let us know if its beach, mountains, towns, wineries, trails, riding, shopping, dining, drinking you are looking to indulge in. We're confident we can give you great local recommendations and we have also arranged some special packages with local wineries, olive oil producers and coffee roasters.

We are lucky enough to have lived all over the world, and chose to return here as the closest place to paradise for modern living that we can find. The fact that one of us was born here didn't hurt either!

Please feel free to call if you have any questions, or email. We're confident our rates are the best value for money in the area, and we'll do whatever we can to make sure you enjoy your visit as much as we love living here.

PS. Please note that we require a minimum 3 night booking. Also the property is not suitable for wheelchair access, and we don't have cribs, high chairs etc. for infants. The property is also a working vineyard and we do have animals so cannot accept children under the age of eleven.

Also, we always buy travel insurance. Between Pandemics, natural disasters, unexpected health issues and airline calamities it’s always possible that travel plans get disrupted. The cost per trip is minimal and annual polices are also relatively inexpensive. We’ll always work with you if life happens while you’re making other plans, but having travel insurance is great piece of mind.

    The property was everything expected and more. From top to bottom, five star property. Not one complaint.

    This place is absolutely amazing! Karrin and Clive are fantastic hosts, and take great pride in the comfort and cleanliness of their beautiful property. They were extremely communicative and helpful. The house was very clean and really comfortable, with a great outdoor space with stunning views.

    The profiles & pictures really dont do this place justice. From mornings w/Mother deer & her baby doe, beautiful birds singing & cute little cotton tail bunnies prancing. To serene & silent nights eclipsing view w/the city lights & star lights in a sympathy of serenity. Our group came back from wine tasting & supper in Paso Robles when we saw a satellite from SpaceX debri re-enter the atmosphere. I was spell bound; the moment seemed to last longer than just a couple seconds. The debri streamed across the night sky from south to north like a red & orange fireball falling across the atmosphere disappearing into the event horizon like lighting catching up to thunder it was gone in a blink of an eye.These experiences like expressed above at Kuona cottage are what makes it great. The quiet simplistic pleasantries of life create a positive life perspective. Mix in friends & family; The memories we’ve made here i am beyond blessed to bare forever. Till next time: -yyr

    From the moment I booked until we left, our host could not have done more to make us feel welcome. The property is beautiful. I enjoyed waking up to watch the sunrise with my coffee and seeing the resident llama and sheep, along with their babies, saunter by. I even spotted a few deer! If I am in the area I would 100% return. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

    Hard to describe how incredible the cottage is. The property itself is built and fitted to the highest standards, and set in the most stunning of locations with incredible views. Perfect choice for getting away from it all and just spending time relaxing. There are vineyards everywhere in the area and plenty of other coastal and inland places to visit. The owners could not have been more helpful and really made the stay one to remember. Definitely hope to return one day.

    Inviting, so thoughtful with regards to providing small items like coffee and olive oil. Breathetaking views, especially the stars at night. The llama and sheep were enchanting! Great place! Would stay over and over again. Korrin and Clive were amazing hosts, filled with great suggestions about the town and so kind!

    Perfect getaway for attending a 70th Anniversary Party. Loved the tranquil setting with so many animals nearby. Spent evenings on the back patio with a full moon filling the sky. Cottage interior extremely welcoming. Beds comfortable, towels luxurious and kitchen well maintained. You don't come here to watch TV, so having a small one didn't matter.

    Amazing hosts. Clive and Karrin are simply wonderful people. And Kuona Cottage... imagine looking 360 degrees from an elevation and seeing nothing but a horizon of spectacular rolling California hills and plots of green vineyards. Its breathtaking. The cottage is clean, bright, simple and lovely, and all super close to Templeton and amazing wineries. We'll be back.
