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.

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.

We’d definitely stay here again!
Red Fin is very well equipped, we found everything we needed. The host was extremely helpful and I feel they went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay - they had even turned the heating on for us prior to arrival, which was much appreciated! Well located and in a quiet spot, so much to see and do nearby. Thanks for having us!

Great house for a family catch up
We stayed at Red Fin for three night this weekend just gone. A comfortable house, well suited to catching up with family and their young kids. They loved the toys, DVDs and the cubby house. Just about everything we needed was provided (although a tea towel would have been appreciated). Thanks for providing the house! :) Ingrid

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.

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"!
