Very tidy, would have loved to stay longer!
If you plan on cooking, be prepared to wait a while or burn your food but other than that couldn't have asked for better accommodation in carpenters rocks

Easy to find due to clear directions. Very clean. Would stay again.
I thoroughly enjoyed the place and the location of the surrounding beaches. Simple layout of the space, perfect for two people/three people for unit 2.
Thanks Zoe for your help!

Fabulous accommodation
Terrific accommodation, very modern, well equipped with everything you needed, comfortable bed, great shower, work bench great for 2 laptops - just everything we needed was provided.
The beach behind the unit was barely accessible and an awful rocky beach, so you had to drive to Bucks Bay or Lighthouse Bay where the beaches were lovely.

This Unit was perfect for my needs. I’d have stayed longer if more time in the schedule. The host Zoe was available and responsive to any questions I had. The unit is clean newly built to modern standards. Hot water, nice water flow, spacious, very comfortable, had everything one would need.
Definitely keep this one in mind for any return trips to Carpenter Rocks.
Thank you.
The place was great however unlike it’s description it wasn’t as family friendly as described. The description said kitchen but it was a kitchenette (no oven/proper cook top) and no inside table for family dinners. However the staff did provide an air fryer and we grab the outside table to eat on inside. Beautiful location but proper description would have meant we wouldn’t have stayed here.

Hi Deborah, We are so sorry you felt our description wasn't enough detail. However we do specifically state what is in the unit and that its a kitchenette. These units are like little motel rooms and there is no oven but there is a portable cook top, pots pans, electric frypan, microwave and fridge. Thank you for staying with us.
The location was fantastic the accommodation units was beautiful, with everything that one requires, and extremely well maintained and kept. There is a great little tavern down the road, beautiful beaches for swimming and fishing
Only down fall were the unit next doors to us were extremely noisy, with a five-six people staying in a one bedroom apartment. That caused many sleepless nights.
My family and I had a great time exploring the limestone coast with Carpenter Rocks as our base. the property is clean, well appointed and centrally located for all that is there to see and do on the coast - beaches for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, sinkholes and ponds and the lakes around Mount Gambier. Award winning restaurants are just half an hour away! Best of all, customer service was prompt and very friendly. I would just recommend probably a slightly bigger dining table and a water jug in the fridge for daily use. Overall, we would highly recommend the place as a base to explore the Limestone Coast!
