Peaceful getaway
Tiddy Widdy is a charming little sea side town perfect for rest and relaxation. We enjoyed our stay at the “love shack” ocean view from the front deck and plenty of space for everyone. Just a short stroll to the beach 😊

When we walked in house smelt. If it wasn’t Xmas Eve ( having Xmas with family up there,)we would have left, but thought opening up house would have got rid of smell. Day after we realised dead mouse smell and got worse. We left 8.00, in morning as we both felt sick 😷 from stink. Backyard very over grown, not good for any family with young children.

Would I recommend? Yes! Here's our experience. Communication & arrival: We arrived in the rain (no undercover parking) to find the keys are locked in a box and we need a code. The owners welcome message had no reference to any code and when I reached out they told me to find it online .. the Yorke Peninsula isn't exactly known for it's blistering internet speeds so this was a bit frustrating. The Place: The house itself is cozy, no frills, we thought it was great. Needs some minor maintenance though. The hot water is leaking from behind the laundry tap. The decking in the lovely BBQ area needs to be replaced, it's breaking up and is a hazard. We noticed the beautiful peach tree in the backyard attracts mice. The trees by the driveway are overgrown and traumatized my innocent car mirror. All minor, but there's some safety concerns in there. The outdoor area is defs the highlight. Location Great. Couldn't be better. Beautiful even in cooler weather, very relaxing spot. The neighbour in the big house didn't relax however, he revved his machinery loudly and often on the public holiday weekend like a silly goose avoiding his wife. A good samaritan eventually asked him to stop. Overall it's a nice quiet spot near a quiet beach, with Ardrossan right there.. it's great value.

Not impressed
I don't generally leave a bad review but this place did not live up to its 4.7 rating. The entire place needs some serious maintenance and a good cleaning. The BBQ was filthy and was unable to be used which left us cooking inside in frypans which were so old that the food just stuck. Cups and glasses and some of the cutlery were dirty. The heater in the main bedroom just blew cold air and the hot water only allowed one person to shower before it ran cold. It was advertised as dog friendly with a secure yard but our small breed pooch managed to get under the house and then under the gates onto the street. We would not recommend staying here until the owners spend some time fixing the place up.
