Easter Weekend Break!

So lucky to find this getaway last minute for a family of 3 with the added bonus of being right on the beach and have a pool table for our teenage son who has a healthy obsession with the game!! Adding to that, the upstairs balcony provided a fantastic viewing point over the Spencer Gulf to watch the beautiful sunset after a lovely day on the beach (a perfect beach less than 2 mins away, with gentle waves and popular with young families) or on the not so nice weather days, the storms rolling in and the numerous rainbows they produced, all from the inside comfort of the house. The house had ample space and everything we needed, it was lovely and clean and Chrys was easy to communicate with and so accomodating with early checkin and late checkout. We highly recommend this property and would love to come back in the summer!

Get together of old friends

We are a group of friends of many years and we are now spread out in SA and QLD. We had the most amazing time catching up at a beautiful location, in an amazing house that was clean, spacious and perfect for us to unwind. We had the best view of the ocean and sunsets from our lounge. The actual lounge was so comfortable and able to accommodate us all to sit, talk and relax. The owner was amazing and the check in process etc was so easy. We are definitely rebooking for next year!!

Moonta - Hidden Surprise!

We had a wonderful time in Moonta! Great food, great location, great weather!! Comfortable house with all the right amenities, sheets, clean showers and good coffee!! Tips - Don’t forget to bring gas in case you want to use a BBQ as it’s not refilled. There is also no WIFI, which could be an issue if you want to “Netflix and chill” or work from the house. There is a surcharge for using the rooms in the place - we were charged more to have three rooms prepared (and the spare rooms remain locked) for 4 people as were friends, not couples. The extra cost was significantly more than the original cost totaled when selecting the accommodation. We extended our stay because it is an amazing place, location was amazing, fishing and swimming superb, with a friendly neighbor. We would go back in a heart beat! Bring on 2024!

Amazing location and home on the beach

This home was simply amazing - more than everything our family could need in the cleanest home we have holidayed in, right on the beachfront. We spent days simply relaxing together as a family, playing billiards, reading, fishing, cooking meals and walking for hours up the beach in the water to Moonta Bay or Port Hughes. The neighbors dog was also a wonderful companion since we missed ours while on holidays! We can't wait to return!
