Memorable family holiday

The home is very clean and well equipped. Views are lovely from all rooms. Beach access is straight across the road and a nice walk to the local shops. The location is also a great base to explore the numerous sink holes and caves in the area. We also enjoyed the pool table.Thanks

Listen to the ocean, wind down and relax

This is a great place to stay. Location is within a short drive to town. It is directly across the road from the beach, so you can listen to the ocean at night. Great location to wind down in a small town where everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Not too far from Mt. Gambier attractions as well.

Great space

We only had a couple of nights, but Gill was really helpful with local tips of what to see and where to eat. The property itself is spacious and well maintained and the view to the beach from every room is stunning. It’s well equipped for younger children and teens if the weather doesn’t allow for beach time. Would happily come back!!

Very comfortable beds.

The holiday home was very well designed and as described. There really is a fabulous sea view from the main rooms and the pool room was fabulous. Importantly(for me), the beds were amazing and very comfortable. This home had everything we needed for our stay. The only negatives were the dirty cups and cutlery, but that was the fault of previous guests. Also, lack of a smart tv so we could stream, but that was known about before we booked, but would be a definite improvement. Excellent property, thank you. PS, loved the selection of books, I now need to purchase 2 of them to be able to finish them, lol.
