Amazing stay
The house is very clean, well-presented and fully equipped. And there’s the view and direct access to the beach! It’s a short drive to several dining options between Port Hughes and Moonta. Chrystine is wonderful with communicating. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay and would love to return someday.

Literally couldn’t get a better view! Amazing private staircase to beach, albeit very steep. Very comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Pool table was a master touch, and friendly neighbours added to welcome vibes. Worth the price tag!!!

Amazing location and home on the beach
This home was simply amazing - more than everything our family could need in the cleanest home we have holidayed in, right on the beachfront. We spent days simply relaxing together as a family, playing billiards, reading, fishing, cooking meals and walking for hours up the beach in the water to Moonta Bay or Port Hughes. The neighbors dog was also a wonderful companion since we missed ours while on holidays! We can't wait to return!

The best break
The first thing is The view and did I mention the view. Very well organised accommodation and just a great place to kick off the shoes and relax. Really good information available for what to do and see and all the little things taken care of. But if you just want to relax this is such a comfy place to do it.

Get together of old friends
We are a group of friends of many years and we are now spread out in SA and QLD. We had the most amazing time catching up at a beautiful location, in an amazing house that was clean, spacious and perfect for us to unwind. We had the best view of the ocean and sunsets from our lounge. The actual lounge was so comfortable and able to accommodate us all to sit, talk and relax. The owner was amazing and the check in process etc was so easy. We are definitely rebooking for next year!!

Way better than the pictures suggest
A guy at work said that if you stay at a great place at a great price you shouldn't write a good review, otherwise it won't be available in the future - but that just isn't fair: this is an excellent property that is hard to fault - awesome location, first rate facilities (as good as you'll have at home), sparkling clean and plenty of room for a family. Just wish I had more than a week to enjoy - the only thing I could fault is the pictures on Stayz, Chrys you need a new photographer!
