About this property

Relaxing cosy shack close to beach

Close to the encounter bikeway - take an early morning ride and enjoy breakfast at Goolwa's great cafes or morning coffee at Port Eliotts Flying Fish. Plenty to do, catch a steam train, walk Granite Island, whale watch, surf, cycle, sample wines at Currency Creek or relax in a hammock and just chill out.
Our shack is great for either a long vacation or a week-end away. A relaxing self contained beach house, it sleeps four adults and four children (1 queen, 1 double and 2 sets of bunks). It offers a woodfire combustion heater, BBQ, backyard deck and secure private garden.
A short stroll to the beach, close to Middleton's surf schools and coastal bike tracks.
Bring your own linen ie bedding, towels etc. The kitchen is well appointed for long lunches and gourmet food feasts with gas stove/electric oven, coffee machine, burr grinder (remember your coffee beans), stove expresso or plunger - all the options, even a teapot.
Newly upgraded and modern bathroom with washing machine and when you come back from beach an outdoor shower with hot / cold water.
Small children catered for with highchair and portacot available.

Beach shack with style
Great location close to beach. Accomidated 6 of us easily. Beautiful touches such as board games, books and some pantry items we could use (salt, pepper, vegemite). Beds were super comfy. We enjoyed having a bbq outside under the verandah. Overall the place was perfect for us. Highly recommended for a family holiday

Cute and Comfortable Beach House
Lovely beach house with a retro feel. Great coffee machine and comfortable bed. A 3 minute walk to the beach with a lovely deck at the rear of the house to relax at the end of the day. Excellent selection of games and good selection of movies. A great place to stay.

What a little gem!
A cosy little gem with an aesthetic that felt like a home away from home. A pure delight going to sleep with the roar of the ocean near by only to be topped by 20+ yellow cockatoos circling above us while eating dinner on the rear deck.....magnificent! We loved this place! We will be back!

Great break house needs a good clean
Great weekend away, house would not be ok not for small children if u use the wood heater as no safety screen, toaster also on a lower shelf that kids can reach. House seems musty especially the bedrooms, very dusty and lots of cobwebs,cso not great if ur asthmatic or scared of spiders. Bathroom is great as is the outdoor shower. Close to the beach.

Owner request us clean the house in the same condition as on arrival
First of all, the owmer required us to bring our own beddings and we did. Secondly, we waited more than one hour on the 40 degree before we check in due to you provided wrong passcode. Thirdly, we cleaned the house before we left. Vaccume is not supposed to be done by us because there is no clear instruction that told us the vaccume machine store spot. A formal complain will be applied if you charge us $60. We won't stand this unreasonable extra charge.

Comfortable and Convenient
My daughter and I booked in just for 2 days as we were having Xmas lunch with family on Hindmarsh Island and just required somewhere to sleep. However this was cancelled and we just had Xmas there by ourselves. We still enjoyed ourselves. Comfortable and convenient and a good place for a young family.
