Great holiday shack. Well equipped and lots for the kids to do. It’s a bit further back from the beach than I thought, but this did not deter from the fun we had….and the views were amazing!

Lovely beach home with stunning views

Such a beautiful place my husband and our 6 children (5 teenagers & a 4yr old) and it was perfect for spending time with loved ones. Everything that we needed was there, picture perfect sunrises from the deck, crabbing at low tide, walks along the beach even ping pong. We loved this place. 💕👍👍💕

Wonderful place to stay…

We loved our stay at The Beach House at James Well. Stunning water views from the back deck, warm and welcoming space, quiet area with clean and tidy amenities. We also appreciated the clear and friendly communication with the owner. This is a wonderful spot from which to explore the various towns and beaches on offer at Yorke Peninsula.

Accommodation is a clean and well presented shack. Very quiet area (except for occasional barking dogs). Comfortable with nice furniture and a great view of the sea. Good facilities with comprehensive information.

Good times at James Well

A few days at James Well before the kids went back to school was great fun with crabbing and exploring the beach. The house is well appointed and has a lovely outlook. The outdoor area getting dated and needed some maintenance.

Nice location and extremely clean and comforable

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It had many facilities we could use. The listing did not state about the use of rainwater for drinking and bathroom facilities. I felt the property manager was a little abrupt when I emailed her asking for answers to questions that I had overlooked on the website. But overall, a nice stay with a lovely decking area with beach views.

Thank you for your review Maria. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and on the whole the property met your needs. I hope that my answers to your questions gave you clear direction as to the facilities that the property has to offer. Unfortunately James Well, Rogues Point and many other beach settlements do not have the luxury of mains water. This situation is outside of our control and our only option is rain water. All the very best to you and your family. Kind regards Janet

This is a nice little property close to Ardrossan but in a quiet location with sea views. As a couple, it suited our needs. The kitchen and other rooms are well equipped and there is lots of space for guests' belongings, including furniture to put suitcases on (unusual in a holiday house). There are plentiful towel rails and hooks in and near the bathroom, which is useful. Although there are three bedrooms, the Queen bed in the second bedroom is up against a wall making it difficult to access one side of the bed, so I would not recommend this room for two people, but the first bedroom is better set up and was fine for us. The dining table is a bit of a distance from the kitchen and you have to negotiate corners of furniture to get there so I would not recommend this house for anyone with mobility issues. However we liked it and would happily stay again if we ever wished to visit the area again.

Thank you for you review Susan. Note for future guests. The second bedroom has a queen bed and has comfortably slept 2 people many times. This is a beach house. It is not big but has an amazing 180 degree water view and is fully equipped for your day to day needs. The photos clearly display the set up. There are steps to enter the property, however internally there is only one level.

Great view and Location peacefull and Relaxing.

There are instruction notices to be mindful of placed throughout the home, however we viewed this with an understanding. Overall we were very impressed with the sea view from the back of the home and the short walking distance to the sea shore. We found the house very comfortable as it covered all our requirements. We had a great relaxing experience and left with some great memories. We do look forward in future to staying at this home again. Thank you !!!! and well done Janet.
