Good value
Very clean and comfortable. Gift quality linens provided. Great kitchen area which is well equipped. Would however recommend the owner consider a coffee machine or at least coffee plunger.

About the host

Hosted by Kirstin Abley

Host profile image
Kirstin and Anthony love Carrickalinga and enjoy being able to share their little piece of paradise with travellers. We have two young children so the house is equipped with all you need to make travelling with children a little bit easier.

Why they chose this property

We originally built The Running Postman to live in permanently but had to relocate to Adelaide for work reasons. We couldn't bear to sell our house so we decided to rent it out so that we could continue to enjoy our little beachy sanctuary whilst also allowing others to share it.

What makes this property unique

When we built the house we orientated it to make the most of the relaxing rural views. Waking up in the morning to the views of the garden and the hills beyond, often with grazing horses or kangaroos, is a great way to start the day. And the short walk to the beach is a great way to continue it!
