About this property

RED FIN part of BLUE FIN HOLIDAY HOMES - Free Wi-Fi & pet friendly

This is a self contained accommodation with self check in facilities allowing you to be totally self sufficient. We also have flexible cancellation due to the unpredictability of the season.

Red Fin has FREE WIFI, is pet friendly and located just behind the foreshore out of the wind yet only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Only a few steps to the reef, a great spot for collecting shells and spotting crabs. It is also a short distance to a walking track, ideal for taking refreshing walks and taking in the idyllic scenery with plenty of space for children to explore.

Red Fin is in a quiet sub division with views of the bush and reserve. You will be able to see kangaroos feeding at dawn & dusk and in winter the local reserve fills with water creating a lake for all the local bird life.

Terrific house built for long lasting holiday memories. Plenty of room for the kids to kick the footy, ride their bikes or fly a kite or run without a care in the world. For the wet days there are plenty of board games, cards, Smart TV with access to Netflix, Wii or DVDs for those lazy days on the couch. For the Adults it is quiet enough to read a book, a magazine or drink a couple of glasses of wine (or 2) while solving the problems of the world.

Red Fin is new 4 bedroom home located at 5 Shell Drive, and is part of Blue Fin Holiday Homes, which also own the property "Blue Fin" and "Horizons". "Blue Fin" is right next door for those larger groups or families that want to stay altogether in the one location. "Horizons" is a 2 Storey apartment located just around the corner on the foreshore with magnificent views of the sea.

Red Fin Port Macdonnell
House was large and spacious. Property was not well maintained or clean. There was a cigarette butt in the drawer of the bedside table in one of the bedrooms (problematic as the property is meant to be smoke free) and the hostess' response when communicated was "some things get missed." The bed linen on one bed was dirty and there were mice nesting in the weber so it couold not be used eiither.

Idyllic Beachside Holiday House
We absolutely loved our stay at the Red Fin. The house was clean & tidy and exactly as described on the website. It was large enough to comfortably accommodate two families. The Red Fin is perfectly located by the beach and is in close proximity to Mount Gambier and other nearby attractions.

Peaceful, modern & fur family friendly
Our family (including dogs) really enjoyed our stay at Red Fin. The spacious back lawn was fantastic for both the kids & dogs (NB with v. Small dogs you wouldn't leave them alone in the yard as they could escape). Situated in a lovely peaceful neighbourhood with the sea really close by - this is a fantastic, homely place to stay (with great heating & all you need for a relaxing holiday).

Lovely home, quiet location
Lovely home in a quiet location and only a short stroll to the beach. The house had everything needed to make our stay a very comfortable one! The showers are great, beds comfortable and heating/cooling worked well. Has a lovely back yard with lots of bird life and the outdoor heated shower was fantastic when we came back from the beach! The wine and chocolates left out for us on arrival was an extra lovely touch! Kim contacted us after our first night to check on us and make sure everything was fine. Communication was great! We would highly recommend this holiday home and hope to get back there one day! Thanks so much for having us in your beautiful holiday home! The Frost Family - Riverland SA

Red Fin House
This is a beautiful property. Plenty of room, lovely house with all you need. It is only 30ks from Mt Gambier and has some lovely scenic spots. However, the house was not clean. There was mould in the bathroom, dirty shower screens, dirty blanket, dirty kitchen drawers and dirty cutlery holder. The clothes dryer was full of lint, mould, fluff and dust, the window in the toilet is full of dirt and mould, the oven door and the oven was filthy and the stove top not cleaned. There is dust everywhere (on air conditioners and behind the t.v. cabinet). The walls are not clean and the floors were dirty. There were no top sheets on the single beds and we had to wash everything before we could use it. The walls weren't even clean. This is only a few of the problems. The house is supposed to be cleaned to covid standards but is not even cleaned to normal standards. I would come back and stay here again if it was cleaned because it is a lovely house and Chris is a lovely person to talk to. We were sent the wrong housekey directions from Stayz but that was not the owner's fault. We got in touch with the hosts and received a whole $30 refund!!! Not even what you pay the cleaner.

About the host

Hosted by KIM SIMPSON

Host profile image
Blue Fin Holiday Homes in Port MacDonnell is rented out to guests as we wanted to share the lovely little fishing village with others. Blue Fin was built to make many fabulous memories with our children. We love anything and everything about the beach and you can sense that in the tastefully decorated homes that we offer for holiday makers. We wanted to have holiday homes that not only help create family memories but also to share the beautiful Limestone Coast with others. There is so much to experience in the region such as our wonderful Crayfish, surf beaches, fishing beaches, Coonawarra wine, the beautiful Blue Lake, our sink hole "sunken" gardens, playgrounds and wildlife park.
Our life motto is "Make hay while the sun shines"!
