Great location with alley access direct to the esplanade down the road - 1 minute walk from house. I honestly couldn't fault the accommodation - I would def stay here again.

Great location, something for everyone!

A fantastic place to stay! A group of friends stayed here for a weekend and we were all very impressed with the property. Clean, spacious and well stocked. There are plenty of games for both kids and adults, basic pantry needs, handy kitchen utensils that you always forget to pack and most importantly comfy beds! Great location. The bottle of wine on arrival is a nice personal touch too. Highly recommend!

Aldinga Beach Holiday

The property was clean, well equipped and is in a great location.(Even fresh flowers to welcome us.) We had a great holiday with the children & grandchildren. It is close to a playground, dog park and the esplanade. Easy walk to the reef for the little ones for crab hunting. Then perfect to be able to drive onto the beach with all the swimming gear.

Fantastic Accommodation - close to beach, everything was thought of!

Wonderful accommodation, everything was thought of - a pantry with staples (and more) ice cubes ready to use, hand towels ( always forget to bring those) bath mats for getting out the shower, even a drinking bowl for our dog. Secure enclosed yard. Very easy access, close to beach, comfortable beds, plenty ceiling fans and cool air-conditioning - would thoroughly recommend staying at this comfortable holiday house.

Great property, close to the beach. Has everything you need and everything has been thought off. Only complaint is in ensuite in main bedroom and in kitchen the windows need blinds, sun coming through heats up the rooms very quickly.

Why they chose this property

A new build in 2016, we have tried to think of everything.

Just a short stroll to the Aldinga Esplanade, and a short drive to the beach, this property is ideally located for a summer get away.

With the Willunga and McLaren Vale wine regions just a few minutes away, The Beach Retreat is also ideal as a base for a wine tour, or as accommodation for a wedding.

The property features a large upstairs master bedroom, with a double, 2 singles, and 4 bunks down stairs.

The living area has been designed for maximum comfort. The house is fully air conditioned , has ample kitchen facilities, as well as a large entertaining area, including a Weber BBQ.

We have included complimentary body wash, lotions, shampoo and conditioner, as well as a complimentary bottle of local wine.

This is a pet friendly property (by negotiation)
