Everything you need for a comfortable stay

For proximity to McLaren Vale, Adelaide and the lower Fleurieu Peninsula this place was perfectly located. Everything I could possibly have needed in terms of kitchen, bedroom, living room etc was provided. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for location was that you need a car to get to shops and restaurants. The place is very comfortable, quiet and secure. Tamara was very responsive, and the price was extremely reasonable.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with me. I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the local area. I'm a little surprised that you thought the shops too far to walk as the convenience of the property is walkable shops, restaurants, transport etc. The closest shops to the Port Noarlunga property are in Christies Beach (900m to Coles) and a whole range of restaurants on Beach Road which are a much closer walk than Port Noarlunga village which is 1300m away. I will laminate a walking route for future guests showing the closest shops which are half of the distance than the large shopping centre at Colonnades. The 24 hour servo on the corner of Dyson Rd is also a short walk and i'll highlight that too. I hope to see you here again and I really appreciate the fabulous condition that you left the property in. Thank you.

Overall very good but we had problems with the shower and parking

We were very satisfied with the accommodation apart from the Shower having two steps and no handrail for senior people and no power point in the bathroom - car parking difficult no room for passenger to get in and out of vehicle. Host was social and approachable.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Nov 2022
Hello Tricia and Cliff, Thank you very much for choosing to stay with me. I'm pleased that you were happy with the accommodation and value your feedback. It's the only way that I know there's things to improve. I'm sorry that you found the driveway difficult. A standard parking bay is 2.4m wide and mine is 3.33 but I can appreciate it being difficult at times. For larger vehicles there are two parking spots at the front on the roadway. On occasion larger cars and vans have parked off-road at the front of the house and I'm happy to accommodate any guest who would like to use this parking so as to avoid reversing in or out of the drive. Many guests who have high vans, transporter buses and very large vehicles have used this extra area. Please let me know if you need it if you choose to stay again and I will make this parking available for you. Thank you for highlighting the shower access. You're right. Despite having non slip bathroom tiles and a non slip adhesive pad on the step there is the possibility of slips when exiting with wet feet and a grab rail would help so much to prevent an accident. I will have one fitted as soon as possible and add the picture onto the holiday site. Likewise with the power point in the bathroom. That's a simple fix and I will sort that one out too. Thanking you for your stay and feedback. It shows other potential guests that the reviews are genuine and you can't always get 5 star reviews. Once again, I really appreciate you staying with me and for leaving the property in such a great condition. Take care on your travels and stay safe. Tamara

Amazing stay in a great area.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Tobies Place for four nights. Clean, heaps of room, and comfy. Not a single negative thing to say. We loved that the train station, shopping centre, and beach were only 20 minute walks away. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely be contacting Tamara! She went the extra mile for us (the TimTams and bottle of wine after checking in late were insanely appreciated) and will make sure your stay is the best it can be. Cheers!
