Absolute beachfront, with sand to the deck. It's a proper beach shack with basic amenities and everything you need to soak up the seaside. Plenty to do for younger children (infinitely interesting coast and safe beach) - good fishing in a boat with ramps nearby.
My family really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic location. Enjoyed beach and reef walks, pelican watching and beautiful sunsets taken in directly from the back porch. Would definitely come again!
We had a really special stay and made some wonderful memories.
The accommodation is basic but had everything we needed.
The sunsets were amazing.
We hope to visit again.
Clean, comfortable & all mod cons but retains the beach shack feel we were looking and hoping for.
Shoutout to Dee and Sharyn from Accommodation on Yorkes who were friendly and helpful every step of the way.
Just a great experience. Thanks.

Three of us enjoyed a quiet relaxing holiday with wonderful views of the ocean and sunsets. Slept like a log, not sure if that was because of the sea air or the comfy beds. Shack was clean and had all the basic needs we required. Great to find a property that covers all you need for a great little getaway, in prime location and at an affordable price.

we enjoyed our stay however the master key box is old and hard to see the numbers. Some people may not realize the hot water needs to be turned on in the box outside and the water was turned off at the tank so the pump wouldnt work.

Hi Diane,
We are glad you enjoyed your stay and apologise if the hot water and water were not turned on for your arrival! Our cleaners should be making sure these things are all turned on the day before a guest arrives, we did have a relief cleaner during this time, we will make sure for future guests they don't miss turning things on. We haven't had any previous reports re the key safe numbers not being clear we will refer back to the owners to have it replaced. :)

Thanks for writing a review after your visit to Seachange in Hardwicke Bay.
A large number of yorke peninsula holiday properties are offered on the basis of BYO linen & Seachange is advertised as BYO linen.
We hope you had an enjoyable visit and have e-mailed for some further information on how we can improve service and offering.

Our family had a great time staying at this property. It is right on the water and we delighted in watching the pelicans and other birds every day. The beach has calm, shallow water - perfect for kids. The street is quiet and perfect for taking an evening stroll. Gorgeous sunsets to watch from the porch. The photos do not do it justice. The shack has all basic requirements and was clean. The only criticism we had was that on windy evenings, the porch roof was quite noisy. Otherwise, would recommend, and return to this property.

Little disappointing
Wasn’t overly clean didn’t look like the mats had been cleaned forever.
Bathroom wasn’t that clean
And having to take all linen was just a pain. Considering the next place we stayed had everything included
Stunning location. Lovely little old-fashioned beach shack feel. No over the top decor or sterile modernity. No viewing the beach front from a glass balcony - You're already on it!!! Laid back & relaxing with plenty of room for 6 peeps. Step off the deck and you're on sand ready to greet the pelicans who visit and take in the 180 degree view of Hardwicke Bay. Spent most of out time out on the deck and on the front yard sand. Nothing between you and the beach. Just superb. Breathtaking sunsets, easy access, and a great BBQ for those fish fryups. Support from agent prompt and friendly when needed - a rarity! Altogether AWESOME! Will return defintely to unwind and just do nothing but stare at the water!! Loved it. Thanks so much.

We recently stayed at " Seachange, Absolute Beachfront" at Hardwicke Bay. As a busy family of four, this was such a beautiful escape. We had such a relaxing time. Our kids (8&9yr Olds) had a great time looking for crabs and sea creatures amongst the rocks, and it was close enough that my husband and I could sit on the back decking and relax and watch them. A short 2 minute walk to a beautiful calm beach, clear shallow water also perfect for young families. Although the premises was old, it is very clean and welcoming. Everything you need is there, neatly and is handy and well presented. If you happen to need any supplies there are a couple of Delis a short drive away.We had such a lovely time here, created some wonderful memories and will definitely be back!

Fantastic location
The house is very small and in need of a kitchen and bathroom refurb, but the location and price point made up for any deficiencies.
Sadly, we didn't have good weather, but the kids still had a great time running on the beach and building sandcastles so we will definitely be return visitors.
Thanks so much for sharing your house 🙂
