About this property
Beachside Escape Right On The Esplanade
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME Fully self contained unit occupying the lower level only of the home where the owners live upstairs.
We do not charge for hidden extras like bed linen, cleaning fee, laundry use etc as it is all included in the one booking amount.
We are continuing to ensure our guests are well catered for by adding no cost extras and improving the amenities -Free Netflix and You Tube -6 seater outdoor table and chairs -6 modern dining chairs around the kitchen dining table - Queen Size Bed with quality mattress in the main bedroom, the 2nd bedroom has a double plus a single bed, plus a table and chairs. 4 burner gas bbq, a porta cot and high chair for infants. Big modern hot water service so you will not run out of hot water. Bricked paved guests driveway for off street parking The 2nd bedroom is semi separate from the main bedroom although still part of the main home with access to this room from the rear and also via the entrance and garage. Young children may require some adult supervision because it is a little away from the main bedroom, however children are most welcome and we are happy for them to sleep on the double fold out sofa bed in the lounge room which is adjacent to the main bedroom and very comfortable. We had hosted many families of 5 with the 3 kids in the 2nd bedroom and they have all enjoyed their stay......and it is far cheaper than having to book 2 rooms in a hotel!
Although we would love for you to stay longer you can now choose to stay for just the two nights if that is all you need or several weeks if required
Fresh modern and what a great location whether it be for your short holiday, maybe a weekend or mid week getaway, visiting family and friends locally, needing a little more space for business stays or perhaps you need a longer term stay which is available at reduced rates - you won't be disappointed with the locality, value and space!

House is in a perfect location near the beach and close to the shops. Brady and Mim made us feel very welcome. The property was very clean and well maintained.

Thank you! It is always so gratifying to hear that our guests enjoyed their stay so much.
The house was nice and clean, fantastic location with beach and ramp right across the road. Enjoyed a morning stroll along the very clean beach.Will certainly be reaching out again next time visiting the Mclaren Vale area.
Being across the road from the beach the value is great for what you get. The place had everything we needed plus some old school fun with the games, cassettes and CD's. Excellent for the dog indoors and outdoors. Recommended for those that are a bit budget conscious but want to be by the ocean.

Thank you! I think you summarised our accommodation perfectly
The location of the house was central to everything. Close to the beach, a supermarket nearby, walking distance to cafes and pubs. We loved being able to watch the sunset every evening. The house was clean and tidy, and just what we needed for a relaxing few days.
We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property and found Brady to be very prompt and responsive to any inquiries we had. We would be happy to stay at the Christies Beach property again.
It was great to be able to go to the beach across the road. My grandsons loved riding the waves on their boogie boards and my son enjoyed a couple of bike rides along the local bike trails.

Thank you again for staying and so pleased you enjoyed your stay
My stay was enjoyable and I loved watching the sun going down over the sea. The bed was comfortable, the facilities good although the shower was a bit tight. the hosts live upstairs so there was some noise with furniture getting moved around etc. All round a good visit to Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Travelling with my wife and border collie Great location opposite off lead beach, clean tidy and user friendly accommodation, just what you need after a long drive. Multiple food outlets for take away or dine in
The property was spotless and exactly as advertised. Brady the host was very helpful and welcoming of our 2 dogs,even going above and beyond, to remove a wasps nest on the bedroom window. Just across the road from the beach, perfect.

Excellent safe enclosed yard for our dog. Well set up accommodation, with everything thought of. Lovely situation, but unfortunately not beach weather this time.
A very clean, comfortable, and well appointed separate lower floor accommodation. Directly opposite the beach and so quiet. Handy to shops etc. The Christie's Beach Hotel had lovely food and service at a reasonable price. Good communication with the owner. As described in the ad. We had a wonderful 3 night stay.

Thank you Michael for staying and your kind comments
We had an enjoyable stay in this comfortable property with friendly hosts and a great location. Probably better suited to couples or a single as the second bedroom is separate and through the garage which is a little inconvenient.
Lovely clean little place with great yard for our hound. Unbelievable llu straight across road from a perfect dog beach with great swimming for me to so couldn’t be happier. Visited bakery around the corner every day & the Chinese up the road was yum!
Our stay at Christies Beach was nothing short of perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning, fully self-contained apartment that was not only spotless but also pet-friendly—our boys felt right at home. The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel like cherished guests.The location is unbeatable, with the beach just across the road, and the area itself is brimming with things to do, perfect for daily adventures. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to booking with them again on our next trip to SA. Highly recommended!

Wow - Thank you for that amazing review from you amazing guests including Nugget and my favourite, Peanut (the two pooches)
See you next time
Brady and Mim
Our stay was so amazing and welcoming. The hosts welcomed us and showed us the best beaches. The yard is secure and neat and you literally cross the road to a dog beach. The home is neat and modern and had everything we needed. Amazingly when we went out without the dogs the hosts made sure they were ok giving them love and extra water. We will 100% be back. With it without kids and dogs this is absolutely perfect!
We purchased the home because of the incredible seaside location being right across from this beautiful beach and quietly located at the northern end of Christies Beach where there is mostly only local traffic passing bye. Downstairs was always surplus to us so in 2015 we fully renovated it and decided to utilize the space as holiday accommodation so others can enjoy the location as much as we do
Why they chose this property
Right across from the beach. Sea views. Quieter than most seaside locations, fully self contained and very affordable to stay
What makes this property unique
Beachside Location! Fully self contained without breaking the holiday budget and also perfect for short term or longer term stays and business stays.
