About this property

Nest, Cosy beach retreat, Midcentury beach shack • firepit • Netflix

Nest | Port Willunga is a mid-century beach shack, lovingly restored for the comfort of today's relaxed Australian beach life. Located in the exclusive Old Survey, Nest is only an 8min stroll to the soft white sand of Pt Willunga beach & the Star of Greece. Spend your mornings at the beach, stroll back to Nest for a warm outdoor shower followed by a day exploring McLaren Vale wineries. Or simply enjoy a picnic on the front lawn, nature-bathing in our Australian-Mediterranean garden

When you arrive at Nest | Port Willunga and step through driveway gate you will be peacefully mesmerized as your senses are delighted by the lush green gardens and fragrances that surround the entire property.

The tiered lawns bordered by beautiful gabion stone retaining walls and rosemary hedges create unique spaces to explore with in the yard. The new outdoor hot water shower under the big backyard tree is a standout feature for this Port Willy beach shack, so too is the salvaged wooden outdoor dining table under the fuchsia bougainvillea.

Enter this humble two bedroom shack by the side entry door to discover a home full of thoughtfully collected vintage pieces. The original raw wooden kitchen cabinets add warm and character to this unique beach house.

Dine at the beautiful teak dining table or lounge on the black leather sofa by the wood fire while you enjoy the front garden view and the grand old pines that line the street.

The glass double doors open up the living space to the recently extended front deck overlooking the tiered front lawn bordered by a sandstone wall and mature native trees.

Dining on the deck outdoor table or take the deck stairs down to the ground level for the outdoor sofa next to the Weber barbecue. Even better, get your picnic blanket and lay on the front lawn under the shade of the trees and watch the clouds float by.

Nest comfortably sleeps 5 adults across two bedrooms. Bedroom one has a queen bed with a garden view. Bedroom 2 also has a garden view with a bunk (two king single beds) and an additional freestanding king single bed. For families with infants, bedroom 2 can be set up with a portacot. Baskets of kids toys and books are also stored in bedroom 2.

The humble bathroom has a bath and shower with a separate toilet and second basin. The recently renovated laundry is located in a room at the back of the property next to the beautiful outdoor shower.

This place is the perfect holiday home for anyone looking for creative inspiration or simply a peaceful coastal escape immersed in nature.

A-MAZING!
We have been travelling for a while (and have seen some horror holiday rentals I may add) and really needed a place to stop and chill out while looking for a rental. This house was so perfect. As soon as you walk in you feel at home. Cosy, stylish and clean. It has everything you need and is well stocked with the basics. The yard was trimmed and super tidy making it enjoyable to spend time out there. It was also completely fenced so I never had to worry about the kids or our dog. Elle, the owner, was such a delight to speak with. She was always willing to go above and beyond and got the house ready for the us the day we enquired (late notice booking). The house is a short walk to the most breathtaking beach and a cute little cafe. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Thanks for such a lovely stay! xx
Stayed 9 nights in May 2023
