A wonderful spot to relax and reconnect. The house was perfectly suited for our family of 4 to enjoy a few quiet days together at the coast. The kids enjoyed the games, playground and wifi, Dad enjoyed the big tv and Mum enjoyed reading on the balcony watching the bay. We will look to book again in the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our property. We are so pleased your family enjoyed their time away. As you mentioned everyone is catered for whether it is winter or summer! Nothing is nicer than relaxing reading a book or watching TV with the wood fire burning!!
We look forward to hosting your family again.
Many thanks Liz
We had such a wonderful time during our stay - the place was absolutely beautiful, and with the beach right on the doorstep. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Liz was so kind and accommodating when we asked to stay an extra night (honestly, we could have happily stayed another five!). The whole experience was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise – thank you Liz!

Loved everything about this property , it’s a beautiful house in a brilliant location, amazing sea views , quite little pocket but only minutes from all shops and services, close proximity to great restaurants etc also.
Only thing that slightly annoyed me is the presence of 4 cctv cameras , whilst they are outside they are right in your face at the entrance door and overage fire pit in backyard and side of house , bit of an invasion of privacy we felt.
Lovely home, so close to beach and Victor Harbor..Great set up with bedroom and living space on ground floor and amazing open planned living upstairs. Great for two families or those just needing some separate kids space..

House was ok. Couch was worn out. Master bedroom locked off so no ensuite attached to bedrooms. Second shower is in a bathtub with no shower curtain, water went everywhere!
Clean, great location with easy access to the beach
Property was clean, well organised and stocked with all the essentials and more! Great for a family getaway! Owner is lovely and very informative about the local attractions as well which was a great help. 5 out of 5.

Plenty of room for some back yard cricket, catch some sun on the outdoor furniture complete privacy or enjoy each other’s company. We love beach holidays and hope we have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.

A great mix for all beach goers. The beach is only minutes walk from the house in one direction and Coles is a ten minute walk in the other direction. We have a play ground directly opposite our property. Making your stay enjoyable is our priority! All beds are king size with split kings to suit all sleeping arrangements for four people. Two bathrooms, two living spaces with large smart tvs in both. Fully equipped kitchen with all modern conveniences including a coffee machine , dishwasher, microwave, stainless steel oven and cooktop. All rooms have reverse cycle air conditioners.
What makes this property unique
Our property is a perfect getaway for one or four guests. A home away from home full of comfort and luxury. Convenient to the beach, supermarkets, golf course. Short drive to city centre and Port Elliot or if you prefer a lovely beach walk to either. The views are stunning looking out the front deck to the Ocean and the township of Victor Harbor. The back deck allows you to relax with a country feel. Fabulous playground across the road in the council reserve. A lot of privacy as we are the corner block with two sides surrounded by council lawned reserves. In the backyard we have a firepit and large table to relax around. In the family room we have a large European wood fire for the cooler days and nights.
