Breakaway Holiday House - close to beach

“Breakaway Holiday House”

Situated right in town in beautiful Streaky Bay, this very comfortable, air conditioned 3 bedroom holiday home has almost every modern appointment. Set up to sleep up to 8 people (adults and children). Two bedrooms have queen beds, and the third has two double bunks. Each bedroom is newly carpeted and has ceiling fans for added summer comfort. All beds have pillows and dunas, and guests can choose to bring their own linen or hire ours ($40/stay. Please let us know by phone or email if you would like to take up this option).

The house also features a recently, fully renovated kitchen and bathroom for your comfort.

There is a large, comfortable lounge-dining room with TV/DVD; free wifi to NBN, and views to the sea. The kitchen is very well equipped with fridge/freezer, stove/oven, dishwashing machine, microwave and all the cookware, crockery and cutlery likely to be needed. The laundry has a washing machine and a separate chest freezer for food storage (and your fish catch!!).

The large yard is fully fenced, contains a shed for boat or car, and there is a large back verandah with outdoor seating and a BBQ for outside cooking/entertaining. Fish cleaning facilities are provided out the back with a sink, running water and a light.

The house is 5 minutes walk to the town centre, jetty, beach, hotel, post office, shops, cafes etc, and a 2 minute drive to the nearest boat landing.

Breakaway may be booked for a minimum of 3 nights in peak season or 2 nights at other times.

Relaxing Stay in Streaky Bay

Breakaway Holiday House was a great place to spend a few days in the lovely town of Streaky Bay. The house is old in style & has a few squeaky floor boards, but this adds to the charm of the house & the holiday feel. The location of the house is wonderful, only a short 3-4min walk into town & the foreshore. The house is comfortably furnished, clean and a well equipped kitchen. There is plenty of space to park and an outside seating area. If we were to return to Streaky Bay, we would love to stay at Breakaway again.

Great little house

Our second time staying in Breakaway. It's the perfect little house for a trips to Streaky. A short walk from the town centre and jetty but tucked away where it's nice and quiet. A nice touch was the A/C already being on for us when we arrived as the weather was very hot. It was beautiful to walk in to a nice cool space. Would recommend Breakaway for families or small groups.

Very good & convenient

Overall very good property & excellent, quiet location. Good facilities. Would have been good to have some "essentials" that many other places we have stayed have provided - alfoil, glad wrap, spray, bottled oil & egg rings. Very sasified with our stay & will be booking again for next year.

Perfect Holiday House

Breakaway is the perfect holiday house with everything you could need. Plenty of room for cars and boats, on a quiet street, lovely glimpses of the bay and only a quick stroll into the heart of Streaky. Inside was immaculately clean with a modern kitchen and bathroom. My 2 favourite things were the wrap around window in the master bedroom and the Nespresso machine. We booked agin for next year right away.

Bonza Location

The property was well presented with both appliances and furnishings. Thanks for supply laundry powder and dishwasher tablets an expense we did not have to make. Perhaps an addition of a hair dryer and tissues would have been a nice inclusion too when staying for a period of days.

Comfortable space

Drift is an older home but has recently had a new kitchen and bathroom put in so makes it a pleasant and comfortable stay. Good range of kitchen facilities and utensils, making it easy to eat in, which is handy as there wasn't much open when we stayed, Monday to Wednesday. Good location, walk to everything. Has good WiFi, which was a blessing as our phones had no reception whilst in Streaky.
