About this property

Shack 78 Black Point - The Beach House

This exceptionally well positioned beach house provides all the comforts of home in a spectacular beach front setting! Black Point beach in SA is one of the few beaches in Australia where the houses sit right on the beach. You literally walk off your deck straight on to the sand and are just a few steps from the water. There is not a worry about the kids crossing busy roads or cars getting in the way.

Spend the day reading a book on the front deck while the kids play in the shallows or step off the deck on to the sand and enjoy a game of beach cricket, wander up and scour the reef for starfish or throw in a line and catch some whiting for dinner.

More Information about the property....

Number of beds: 10(Maximum 6 adults)

This gorgeous beach house offers a great open plan kitchen, meals and living area with TV as well as queen bedroom, bunk room with ensuite (also with a TV/DVD) and all your core amenities under the one roof. While the main house can sleep up to 7 people, the hidden gem of this property has to be the second living space just steps from the back door!

The separate flat offers great flexibility to guests looking to accommodate multiple families, grandparents, parents with small children or guests simply wanting a bit more space to spread out! The outdoor flat is completely self-contained and can sleep an additional 4 guests. It offers a very tidy kitchen/dining room, bedroom (with TV/DVD) and en-suite bathroom.

Black Point is locate approximately 110 minutes from Adelaide and has the gorgeous seaside towns of Ardrossan, Stansbury and Port Vincent just a short drive away. Ardrossan has a great supermarket, butcher, chemist, bakery/cafe, newsagency, hardware store and pub (which does good pub meals).

Perfect spot!
Second stay and very happy! Great for the family, with the ‘villa’ out the back. Little ones could have a midday snooze in peace.

Above Expectations
Black Point does not disappoint. Kids had a great time & weather was perfect. Easy access to the beach from the shack provides the opportunity to cool off all day if needed.

Amazing place, needs a deep clean.
The place was amazing, black point is a beautiful place to be and being right on the beach was so nice. The shack itself is nicer than the photos do justice, but there were some cleanliness and safety issues. Blind cords were not fixed in the bunk room. The sliding door closer is cool but not safe with small children. Washing machine seal was covered in black mold, lamps in master bedroom didn't work and floors especially under bed were very dusty. But overall really enjoyed our stay

A weekend away with the family - you can not beat this location! Kids played all day on the beach while we sat on the deck. Calm waters, magical sunsets, lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. We will definitely be back!

beach house bliss
The listing describes the place well but words cannot do the setting justice, we relaxed to minutes we sat on the edge of the deck, toes in the sand, glass in hand and looking straight out to the ocean.....just perfect Pete and Annie

Fantastic little getaway
Thank you Jo for such a fantastic stay. With the grandparents staying in the cottage out the back and our little family in the front house we all had a ball. Our little 3 year old didn’t leave the beach from morning-sunset and we were comfortably watching her from the deck. We would love to come back ❤️

Slip into the zone...
The website pics don’t show the beautiful newly renovated three bathrooms at this property. In fact the website modestly undersells this shack. There was plenty of wildlife (a daily swim-by from an impressive Ray included), perfect swimming straight off the deck, a large covered deck perfect for watching the weather and passers-by. The shack is well equipped (byo canoes and paddle boards as the location is perfect for this). Unfortunately the next door neighbours wanted a new room on their shack by Xmas so we had building works going on quite late (the builders were lovely tho’) which was a bit annoying. The owners were also easy to communicate with, responsive, thoughtful and considerate. On the whole - would we rebook - in a heartbeat!
