Best family accommodation
Our families do an annual holiday weekend together. We look for accommodation that is age appropriate for members that are in their 70's, 40's teens and younger children. This by far has been the best place we have stayed where everyone was kept entertained the whole time. Would highly recommend and will love to stay there again.

Fantastic place for a family get-away!
Great location, quiet, with a lovely view, fantastic for two families with teens and young adults. Plenty of space inside for everyone to spread out, and lots to do outdoors as well. Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Hindmarsh Island Paradise.
This property has everything we needed to entertain adults and teenagers alike! The games room in the garage was brilliant. We had fun fishing and swimming off the pier. We loved our long weekend and can definitely recommend the facilities and location.

Here for a good time, not a long time.
We had a fabulous stay here for the second time. The house was very clean and well maintained with an excellent layout and facilities. Lots to do with the games room, Kayaks, fishing and electronic games. We'll definitely come back to stay again in the future. Cheers, Mick C.

Nice house
Lovely well equipped house with really comfortable beds. Nice view from top and bottom floors. Find it a bit excessive that the bond was taken from our account four weeks prior to staying there and only received it back nearly two weeks after returning home.

Lovely Property!
This house had it all! Four bedrooms was perfect for us all. With 3 bedrooms on the top floor it worked out really well as the entertainment area was downstairs so we could continue to play table tennis and pool without disturbing the two bubs. Beautiful view sitting outside. A lovely friendly man living next door! Plenty of plates, glasses and cutlery and good size fridge. Lots of sofa's for everyone to chill on! Was a great weekend away.

Great location
The games room was well equipped, and the kayaks were lots of fun. We didn’t have much hot water for the first three days. Definitely not a good enough hot water system on solar to accomodate even ten people, which most of us missed out on a shower. I don’t know how 14 would go. The house and beds were not clean. Items were left at the house. The beds were so uncomfortable we all had sore backs. For the price we felt disappointed.

Great location with lots of activites to do in house.
It would be great if the key pick up and drop off would be same loction and closer to house. Bit hassal to drop of key 20 mins away while pick up was just 5 mins away. Lounge room need one more sofa to carter for large family as 5 seater is not enough.

Hindmarsh sunsets
Great location and gorgeous sunsets. Games room and kayaks a hit for kids. Comfy beds. Not sure if I missed the fact only blue ray available as nil wifi but no there. However this meant more conversation. Scissors.and hairdryer. always seem to be missing at all places.

Family Weekend
A family weekend away with my 3 adult sons and their partners. The house was big enough for everyone and having 3 bathrooms was fantastic. They made great use of the games room and the kayaks and sitting out the back overlooking the water was just divine. My only negative would be the cleanliness in the kitchen. The oven and the fridge need cleaning. The sandwich press had been put away without being cleaned and the toaster needs replacing. Be aware the 2 bunk bedrooms are very small, only room for the beds so ok for kids but not so good for adults. They would be better off just having a double bed in them without all the bunks. Overall though we had a great weekend.

Dirty dirty and stinky
The house itself and the view were nice, however it was very dirty. The cushions were stinky with lots of disgusting dots. Also, we couldn't drink coffee or anything as the kettle was disgusting and the cups were very smelly. I contacted Harcourts when we first arrived but they didn't respond. It was very disappointed
