Beautiful spot and enjoyed the accommodations. There were some challenges with entering the rental due to a catchy lock and inability of the property owners to communicate with people who did not have a local mobile number address.

Weekend away for the girls
Best mate and I took our wives away for the weekend, we planned everything as a special treat given they normally handle such matters. We and they were very pleased with the condition and location of the property, pleasingly the weather was kind to us so we were able to maximise our time on the balcony soaking up the sea view over a glass or 2 of wine.

Great location
It was a great stay. The house is in a good location. Ten minutes walk to Port Willunga Beach and the Star of Greece restaurant. The house is very cute but could use a lick of paint in some rooms. It's a lot of money but I guess you're paying for the view which is spectacular. An 11 o clock check out would be an improvement. 10 is very early to be up and out especially if you have only been there for two nights.

Lovely views but questionable value
The location is fabulous but the property looks a lot nicer online, it’s very small and be sure to let the owner know well in advance who is coming or you’ll get charged extra for last minute changes without notification until after your stay. When paying peak season rates you’d think 6 people could stay in a house that states it sleeps 7. Read the T & C’s thoroughly cause they certainly don’t bend at all. Although it states one dog allowed there’s a charge for that too. Lesson learnt my end.

Lovely wintry weekend in a great setting.
Very cosy property for a winter weekend away. Child friendly. Glorious views from the balcony. Photos make lounge look a bit grander than it actually is, but we had a great time. I’m sure it would be great to visit in all seasons. Hope to return.
