The property on the esplanade in Elliston was beautiful. A modest but well considered accommodation which had everything you could want for a weekend getaway. The house was clean, comfortable relaxing and beautifully presented.

We've made this our annual accommodation for our fishing trip, and we wouldn't stay anywhere else. The location is absolutely perfect, with stunning views across the bay and easy access to everything Elliston has to offer.The house is always clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We especially appreciate the fish cleaning facilities. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen has everything we need, and it's a great place to relax while watching the sunset.The hosts are fantastic, and we've always had a great experience. We look forward to coming back every year and would highly recommend this beach house to anyone visiting Elliston, whether you're there for fishing or just a relaxing getaway.
