Great place to stay, loved the outdoor area. Need more tongs for BBQ and could not find a first aid kit though, and dishcloth. Great reception for internet and netflix, thanks.
Thank you we had a great stay. The dog somehow got out of the enclosure while we were out on the last day. Not entirely sure how it happened so it may need to be reinforced or checked for future guests.Thank you for your hospitality
We had an amazing stay, great spot beautiful little home with all the comforts needed. Kids loved the freedom and space outside. Will definitely be back
We stayed for 3 nights with family who are over from USA for first time in Australia.
House was a great base for exploring Innes National Park.
Pub was great for meals.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend the property.
Excellent location with good accomodation facilities. Perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Only draw back was no wifi connection and having no signal on our phones didn’t help either.

Thank you so much for the review. It is very timely information as we are currently discussing if we should provide free wifi for guests. So great to get feedback on this topic.
Marion Bay only has Telstra and Optus towers.
We stayed 3 nights over Christmas, the house was spacious, cute and close to the beach. My kids enjoyed playing in the reserve and swinging in the hammock and we had a good break.
Such a fabulous, warm, cosy inviting home. Felt so easy to just be and simply relax. Great spot for walking locally and hiking and exploring the south of the peninsula. Absolutely loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Ryan and Jess Donovan
Jess and Ryan are married with two kids Indi and Jarrah. We live on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula in the small coastal town of Elliston. We have travelled a bit, and along that journey, stayed in places of hugely varying quality. We all love the SA Coast, loving the ocean and enjoy surfing snorkelling swimming, fishing and diving, and want to share it with visitors. Driftaway has been operating since 2011, providing a well equipped and comfortable guest environment from which to explore the area. In 2026 we have launched the Luxe, off grid, "Indarrah Eco" in Streaky Bay. We design and maintain these properties in the way we like to travel, making sure it is comfortable with everything there that you could need.
Why they chose this property
Ambiance. This property is a retreat! Extra effort has been made to ensure that you have a comfortable stay. The King and Queen beds have pillow top mattresses and the Lounge suites have been chosen for comfort. The timber floorboards and wood fire contribute to the welcoming feel of the house. Expansive North facing glass windows/ sliding doors create flow from the light filled living area to undercover deck, where you can lie in the hammock and watch over the reserve. A bush garden shields much of the house from the road and the view from the deck extends out over a conservation reserve.
What makes this property unique
The undercover outdoor area is a must for so many reasons. After a long day at the beach you can still enjoy the outdoors without the harsh sun. All year round, it provides a great spot for a BBQ, with outdoor dining suite permanently placed there. A slippery dip from the edge of the deck provides hours of entertainment for the young ones but nothing beats the hammock! Many a good book have been read , sheltered from the wind in that spot!
