We had an amazing stay at Shell Cottage.Everything was just perfect, even better than expected.The photos don't do the home, and the beds, oh my gosh, so comfortable. It has everything you need and so much more.We will definitely love to book the home again when we are next in Adelaide.The location is perfect; the nearby beach is just a short stroll and absolutely stunning.The booking process, right through to various communication prior to our holiday was easy, with Sian responding very quickly.Thank you for a gorgeous stay, our holiday was made perfect having this home to call ours for those two weeks we were in town.

A lovely stay

We had a very nice stay at Shell Cottage. The cottage is lovely and the hosts were very good communicators and welcoming both to us and our two cocker spaniels. The back deck is made for pleasant outside meals. We would love to stay again.
