Beautiful house in a fantastic location. The house is very well appointed, everything is like new. Less than five minute's walk to the Moonta Bay Jetty, the Ye Olde Cafe restaurant and beach. Perfect for fishing from the jetty, enjoying a swim or stroll or of course having dinner and/or a few drinks - no need to drive or get a taxi! Information provided at every step and instructions for everything. Was a wonderful stay, we'll be staying again!

Amazing hosts with excellent communication from start to finish. The house was immaculate and it was clear the hosts had thought of everything. The games corner with books and DVDs was a huge hit with our kids! The location was perfect, just a few minutes’ walk to the beach, splash town, playground, and café. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxed, family-friendly getaway.

Very conveniently located. All the rooms are very clean. Abundant of entertainment for kids. The only thing is there were only about two days of worths of supply so we had to shop to get a few things such as toilet paper rolls, laundry tablets and coffee capsules from the lovely local Drakes. Otherwise perfect from all perspective.

The setup of the house has been exceptionally well thought out and it was the little things that made our stay special like the courtesy lighting around the house so we could easily find our way in at night and the hose out the front to wash down our paddle board when we got back from the beach to the dyson to help clean up some of the sand which makes it's way into the house.The kitchen was great with a breakfast nook. The beds were very comfortable. The main living area contained a massive couch and a recliner with good selection of board games, books and dvd's and a large smart tv. The nautical themed wall hangings, pictures and decor made this a house we really loved living in. The kids even noticed the micro shells stuck to some random exterior bricks.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Carol Petronio

Host profile image
Hi there, we are Frank and Carol. We are Adelaide born and bred and like many Crow-eaters have had a long and deep connection with Moonta Bay. We roamed and swam the beaches and fished the jetties here as kids and enjoy it just as much today as we did 50+ years ago. It is our pleasure to allow you the same opportunity to experience this special place for yourselves, your family and your friends.

Why they chose this property

The magnificent coastline, sandy white beaches and safe swimming environment are instant draw cards. A morning walk along the beach. Dropping a line at either Moonta or Pt Hughes jetty and later enjoying the freshest seafood possible. Cycling around the Moonta Bay, Moonta town, Pt Hughes and even to Wallaroo on the bike track if you feel energetic enough. Watching the sunset and the incredible colours that paint the sky.

What makes this property unique

Our property is designed and styled to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It is perfectly located to maximise your time and enjoyment around the magnificent Bay of Moonta.
