Thank you Arthur, you were wonderful guests and left the house in immaculate condition. We would very much welcome you again.
This must be the most perfectly situated home in Marion Bay! With beach access across the road, and we'll positioned in the centre of the town, accessibility is so simple; walking beach trips or quick ride to the market and playground.We visited the kid friendly Marion Bay beach every day, swam, surfed and kyacked at Penguin point, and enjoyed nightly sunset walks to the Willyama Beach lookout.The Marion Bay lodge made our holiday so easy, incredibly well equipped and comfortable, it felt so much like home! We could not have asked for more.Michelle and Bill have thought of everything, and we're very available for any questions or concerns, and incredibly considerate of their guests. Waiting to give a tour of their home, and going above and beyond to make our stay exceptional.I would book the Marion Bay Lodge again in a heartbeat!Thankyou so much Michelle and Bill!

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Partington
Marion Bay has been part of our family's lives for the past 40 years. We love the coastal environment so our favourite past time is doing anything that involves the sea - be it fishing, watching the surf, building sand castles with the grand kids or simply beachcombing. We have the added benefit of having the spectacular Dhilba Guuranda - Innes National Park on our door step where you can regularly enjoy a pristine beach all to yourself or marvel at some of the most beautiful coastline South Australia has to offer. The park has many walking trails so is fantastic for hikers and bushwalkers. The 'Bottom End' of Yorke Peninsula is one of South Australia's best kept secrets and we would like to share it with you.
Why they chose this property
If you want to 'get away from it all' Marion Bay Lodge is your destination! Marion Bay is a small, close knit coastal town 3 hours drive from Adelaide. The 'Lodge' is our second 'home', so it has all the appliances and amenities you would expect in a home. It is a self-contained property and guests need to cater for their own needs. There is no busy shopping area or the usual conveniences that a city offers - just a general store and fuel pump, local tavern, children's playground, caravan park and jetty.
What makes this property unique
Marion Bay Lodge is unique in that there is no other accommodation like it in Marion Bay. The 'Lodge' offers up to 5 bedrooms, depending on number of booked guests (maximum 10). We have the facility to electronically lock bedrooms that are not required. The beach is directly across the road where children can safely swim and play at Penguin Point. You can literally watch the kids play on the beach from your balcony! The spectacular ocean views, quality furnishings such as Stressless leather lounge chairs, ducted air conditioning, modern appliances and amenities enable guests to 'switch off' in extraordinary comfort in this 'home away from home'.
