The Port Hughes jetty offers excellent fishing opportunities, and the area is also very popular with boat fishers and charter boats.

Moonta Bay relaxation

This property is perfect to get away for a couple of days or more and enjoy everything the western side of the peninsula has to offer. The property was very clean and tidy and built for purpose.

Family Friendly

Loved the stay, all facilities are provided. We stayed here 3 years ago and loved it then, so came back. Very family friendly with kids toys, games, puzzles, books and a cubby house outside. The only thing I would recommend is a fence, so the younger children can go outside without parents worrying they would run on the road. Had a lovely relaxing time, 5min walk to the beach. Would definitely come back and recommend to friends / family

Over regulated and unfriendly

The check in and location were both as advertised and as to be expected. However, we were taken back by the numerous rules listed around the property, which gave it an incredibly unfriendly and unwelcoming appearance. While I have stayed at many rental and holiday homes before, I have never encountered such a bizarre micromanagement of adults. Rather than providing images in the cupboard of the glassware layout, it would appear to be easier to allow adults to place glassware ‘as found.’ We would not recommend the stay based on this. We found ourselves not wishing to use the provided amenities to cook, and left earlier than we had planned. For a more comfortable and welcoming property, propose the checkin email provide these rules, and have a single copy on the countertop.

Perfect house for our cycling group

Moontana was all we hoped for - clean, spacious, bright and a lovely outdoor area. 2 bathrooms was great and the location was quiet but central. A secure backyard for all our bicycles also. Communication between myself and the owner was excellent.

Lovely property in a convenient location

Andrew has been very responsive and accommodating. Property is conveniently located between Port Hughes jetty and Moonta Bay jetty - so easy to get around and in a quiet area. House is well equipped and has plenty of space for a large group. We have loved our short stay and will definitely be back.

Not wheelchair accessible

Whilst the location was good and generally the property was clean and tidy, we specifically asked the property manager, via email, whether the property was wheelchair accessible, as it is listed as being so in the details. We were told yes it was. Upon arriving, there was a small step which the wheelchair was unable to get over. We found some thin paving bricks on the property and used these to assist with getting the wheelchair into the property. This did not work. The other entrances to the house were also inaccessible. The shower alcove did not safely fit a shower chair either. We went to use the BBQ and found this to be filthy; it had not been cleaned by the previous user. We ended out leaving the property early as it became too stressful trying to manoeuvre the wheelchair in and out of the house. We did not enjoy the experience.

6 Comfortable nights in Moonta Bay

Great location with easy walk to the beach. Great home perfect for families, very well equipped toys area, games cupboard and book shelf. Communication with owner lacked a little and showers lacked a bit of cleanliness. 3 year old daughter LOVED the cubby house out the back.
