Great for big groups.
We had a great time at Moana@ marion bay. The house was spacious and great for 3 families. The house was clean and check in was easy. Some feedback would be: there wasn’t any hand soap in either bathroom for hand washing not was there dishwasher tablets or washing machine powder. If the owners wanted us to bring these it wasn’t clear in the house instructions that these were required.

Great location, but house was dirty
Upon arrival, house had a foul smell. Mouse droppings in cupboards and corners of the downstairs bedroom. Dishes in cupboards were dirty, bench tops were sticky. Mattress protectors were stained and quilt covers looked as though they hadn’t been washed for a long time. One had food stains (sauce stains) on it. Fortunately we had bought all our own linen and quilts. House was definitely left in a better condition than what we found it. Kitchen downstairs with main seating upstairs was inconvenient, but manageable. Stovetop flame was weak, which made cooking difficult at times, however, all in all, if the place was cleaner, it would have been a good experience for all of us. This is because overall, the facilities were decent. Location was great, communication with property manager via email was excellent.

Up Stairs- Down Stairs
a lovely house, nice big bedrooms , spacios living areas and a large deck upstairs. There is a kitchen upstairs with no stove and we would have found it much easier if there was one because there is a lovely large deck to eat out on . So we had to carry our food cutlery and crockery up stairs. Plates &cutlery upstairs would also have been useful. We had a lack of water problems and needed to contact the owner urgently, our email was addressed quickly but having the phone number would have been easier. overall I woul recommend this property

Rental of Moana at Marion Bay, South Aust
Very good experience. Only 1 comment - the quilts were thinnish "summer" quilts which we had to double up due to cold nights in May & there were limited spare blankets. Some extra blankets would be good.

Just right for tired cyclists
We rode 'Walk the Yorke', so for tired riders, and the clean, spacious house was greatly appreciated. The well equiped kitchen coped with the hunger bouts & the huge deck perfect for autumn eve relaxation, drinks & chats. Thanks to the hosts

Roomy and homely
Had a great stay at Moana! Amazing house - spacious in both living and sleeping quarters. The indoor dining table easily seated 14, and that wasn’t the only dining option! Two outdoor dining areas too, plus another indoors downstairs. All the little things like hand towels, hand soap, bath mats and tea towels were supplied, plus generous quantity of bin bags and loo paper! The enclosed outdoor area downstairs was terrific! Really safe for the little ones to play outside! The outdoor shower was great! Peter, the owner, was really friendly and readily responsive, every time! Highly recommend! Thanks for allowing us to stay!
