Uncle Tom’s Shack: Funky Beach Shack with Million Dollar Views, 3BRs & 2 Baths
** All guests are welcomed with a lovely bottle of SA wine and chocolate **
Just finished in July 2017, Uncle Tom’s Cabin has spectacular views of Middleton Beach thanks to its million-dollar location opposite a reserve. The living room, dining area, kitchen, main bedroom, and of course, the big front porch, all enjoy unrestricted beach views.
The house has just been fully refurbished. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open plan living/dining area, this “shack” caters for up to 6 people in absolute comfort.
The owners have spared no expense on fitting out this property. Three brand new reverse-cycle split system units have been installed – one in the living/dining area, one in the main bedroom, and one in the second bedroom. The windows have been double-glazed to maximise year-round comfort and peace. The mattresses are brand new and ultra-comfortable. There are wall-mounted TVs in the main living area and the main bedroom. Fast NBN Wi-Fi is included + Netflix! There is a Nespresso coffee machine for that early-morning caffeine fix! For beachgoers, there is an outdoor shower on the back deck – with both hot and cold water! A brand-new gas HWS has been installed to ensure guests never run out of hot water. And did we mention the views?
This is the quintessential Middleton beach “shack” with the vibe of yesteryear and all the comforts and style of 2017. What a perfect pet-friendly holiday retreat!

A lovely spot to stay and so convenient being able to bring our doggo. The view is wonderful and all the conveniences are thought of, especially in the kitchen. Plenty of beds, a lovely welcome treat, and lots of backyard space for pets and kids to use.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay and that our property provided the convenience and comfort you were looking for, especially as a pet-friendly accommodation.
We hope to see you again soon!
This place is exceptional in every way. The location is outstanding almost on the beach, beautiful views and close to Goolwa, Port Elliot and Victor. The fully fenced back yard was an awesome size for my dogs, we had a fabulous time. I have stayed in a lot of home away from home accommodation and Uncle Toms Shack is by far the cleanest. 10/10!!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you and your dogs enjoyed your stay. We're glad that the property exceeded your expectations, especially with its cleanliness. We look forward to hosting you again for another fabulous stay!
We were very pleased with this holiday rental. It was well positioned overlooking a reserve and a big beach landscape. Really clean, comfortable, with some very thoughtful touches, the house, while compact, was filled with good design and light. Large outdoor areas, pet-friendly (although absolutely no evidence of anybody else's pet!), we were right at home from the start. We would recommend this cheerful holiday property and would return any time.

Thank you John for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you come back again soon. - Pet Let
I enjoyed staying at the house . Very clean and tidy and well equipped. Beautiful views of the ocean.
Could do with ceiling fans in the bedrooms especially since you can’t open the windows . No dishwasher. Very small living area . Probably a little overpriced in my opinion given it’s limitations.
Real estate agent great to deal with .
This property, although basic in some ways, provided everything we needed for a fabulous getaway. The location is brilliant, only 1 minute walk to the beach.
It was the perfect family getaway, very quiet and relaxing. A massive positive was being able to take our family dog with us. A very clean, tidy and comfortable place. Perfect 😃
We couldn't really fault this property - it was clean, cozy, modern and very relaxing. Lovely to look out the windows to the beach, and great to have a comfortable space to relax and unwind. Thank you
We were very impressed as soon as we opened the door. It was very clean and had a warm feel to the place. You had uninterrupted sea views and with heating and cooling perfect whatever the weather. We will definitely book again.
This property is situated in an excellent location with stunning ocean views. Very clean, neat and tidy. All the amenities you need. Big backyard to kick the footy or play cricket. Would highly recommend :)

Very happy with our stay, lovely house and big backyard for the dog. Great location overlooking the beach. Even happier that we saw some whales. Couldn't get oven to work but that wasn't a major problem.

The house was perfect. Very well equipped and such a beautiful spot!
Our stay was amazing. The house is very lovely, with everything you could ask for. It's just a short hop skip and a jump to the beach with an amazing view of the ocean. The big back yard is great for the dogs and backyard cricket. We will definitely stay again. Thank you it was a very memorable stay.

The furnishing was modern and the house was well stocked with anything we would need through-out our stay. We would definitely stay again with petlet.
