Great little house
Love this place. Only thing I could say is update info- it says there’s foxtel but there wasn’t. Also says no WiFi but they have that available. Very clean and tidy and close to beach, will be back!

Home away from home
A well equipped house for a home away from home for the weekend. Perfect spot and only a few minutes from everything. Seems small from the front - but spacious living areas and sleeping areas to be explored as you go inside! Thanks for having us.

A very good place to stay!
Very comfortable, clean and convenient. It was also a nice quiet area and therefor a relaxing few days. We tried to contact the owners, to say, the air conditioner near the deck area wouldn’t work, and we could not get sound on the tv near the front door. My email went to the outbox and would not send.

Great property for a getaway
We had a fantastic stay at Elliott's lodge. The property was bigger than we expected. The 2 separate living areas was great and the place didn't feel crowded with 5 adults. Pet friendly with an enclosed backyard which was the reason we chose to stay. It's really hard to find pet friendly accommodation that is also fully enclosed. Only suggestions to the owners would be to add a hair dryer to the list of items supplied at the property and perhaps instead of providing foxtel, WiFi would be more versatile. Thanks for a great stay, we'll certainly be recommending you!

We were very impressed with the property, especially the appointments and quality of furnishings etc. Nothing one could want was left out except maybe wifi which wasn’t a great problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Comfortable and clean, but some disappointments
Apart from presenting a rather nice property quite well overall, the Owners' response to messages about shortcomings while we were there were disappointing, tending to be dismissive and almost arrogant.

Moonta getaway
Chose this property because of its location and amenities and especially because two of the bedrooms had queen size beds providing both of us with our separate space. Couldn’t fault the house setup, heating, cooking facilities, bathroom, comfortable beds. We knew there would be no wi fi at the property but expected the operation of the two TV’s to be straight forward. It wasn’t. There were no “cheat sheets” to refer to (mentioned as available in the confirmation letter) leading me to confer back and forth with the hosts for advice and help through texts. In the end we decided that getting 2 TV stations ( ABC and SBS) was better than none and discontinued texts with the hosts. Consequently we were disappointed that the issue of “no signal” on the other channels wasn’t resolved during our stay but seeing it was only for 3 nights, it was bearable and didn’t taint our overall impression of our stay in Moonta which we enjoyed.

Family weekend getaway
What a wonderful place to stay! Very child and pet friendly. Our daughter LOVED the swing set and the dogs were safely secured in the backyard. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach everyday. Would definitely recommend this place for families. We can't wait to come back.
