Highly recommend property

Amazing property, clean and tidy, and the views are breath taking. Many hours enjoyed walking along the beach, climbing sand dunes, whale watching and watching the friendly Koloa all without even hoping into the car.

Fabulous location, twitcher paradise

Our second stay, and hopefully not our last. Divine location, comfortable house with everything you could need. Happy that the local koala showed up for the last evening to say hello (and the next morning to say goodbye) Thanks Thomas, looking forward to our next stay already

Fun in the sand

Had a great 5 day stay in Sleaford. The house was in a perfect location next to beach and cliffs for walking, surfing, fishing and off-roading. What a view from the deck. The house was really well heated for a winter break. Beds really comfortable and wifi tv etc all great for keeping in touch while in the wilds!!

A stunning location and view

This was a fantastic house to get away from the bustle and gives you the space to breathe. The sounds of the ocean stream in throughout the day to give you a sense of peace.

Perfect spot!

We loved our stay! The location is amazing, loved waking up and having a coffee at the veranda enjoying the amazing view. The house is well equipped and we had everything we needed. The Koala visit was a high point for the kids. Port Lincoln is a paradise, we are definitely thinking of returning in the future and I would be more than happy to stay at this property again. Thanks Thomas for allowing us to stay at your lovely home!

Fantastic location with great views and accommodation that was luxury and comfortable

Our little family thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING Lincoln Beach Retreat offered. The bonus Koala visitor was amazing and the location and proximity to tourist attractions and things to explore we tried to take full advantage of. Listening to the roar of the sea was never tiresome and we will definitely return as we have yet to explore the EP completely. Wonderful place to stay Thomas we truly loved our getaway

Sensational Sleaford

From the moment you walk in you get a sense of ease. perfect views, greeted by a southern wright whale literally waving at us from the balcony! Heating was excellent! kitchen utensils all there, no need to pack anything. Plenty fridge space for all the fish we caught. Quiet peaceful place. Lots of birds and wildlife. Whilst writing this , we wish we could be back there. Next time we will book it for longer, we stayed 5 nights, couple more would be great, No complaints whats so ever. Maybe a recycle bin would be good for all our recyclables! And maybe perhaps a outdoor balcony heater in working order would be nice, but thats a first world problem. Enjoy Sleaford bay retreat, WE DID!

Best place we've ever stayed!

I've stayed in a lot of fancy rental homes in my time and this takes the cake. So spacious, so relaxing, and views beyond your imagination. We woke up to a koala perched on the verandah looking at us, with a vista of the national park and beaches behind her. A real Aussie slice of paradise.

Outstanding. Beautiful property next to Lincoln National Park. Isolated with amazing luxury.

This was an amazing vacation property. Next to Lincoln National park with only one other property nearby (not block any of our views). Postcard views all around the property. The house was beautiful, with an Architectural Design like elegance. Very comfortable. Lots of wildlife - we were visited by a Koala who spent a whole day on our deck - not skittish at all, and happy to be pet. Fabulous, almost deserted beaches (several) within short drives. Also driving to Port Lincoln (restaurants and retail food shopping) was only about 20 minutes. In summary, everything was perfect
