Listen to the ocean, wind down and relax
This is a great place to stay. Location is within a short drive to town. It is directly across the road from the beach, so you can listen to the ocean at night. Great location to wind down in a small town where everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Not too far from Mt. Gambier attractions as well.

Great space
We only had a couple of nights, but Gill was really helpful with local tips of what to see and where to eat. The property itself is spacious and well maintained and the view to the beach from every room is stunning. It’s well equipped for younger children and teens if the weather doesn’t allow for beach time. Would happily come back!!

Very comfortable beds.
The holiday home was very well designed and as described. There really is a fabulous sea view from the main rooms and the pool room was fabulous. Importantly(for me), the beds were amazing and very comfortable. This home had everything we needed for our stay. The only negatives were the dirty cups and cutlery, but that was the fault of previous guests. Also, lack of a smart tv so we could stream, but that was known about before we booked, but would be a definite improvement. Excellent property, thank you. PS, loved the selection of books, I now need to purchase 2 of them to be able to finish them, lol.

A break by the sea
This is a modern, spacious well-equipped property with an amazing oceansdie location in a quaint fishing village. The view (from almost every room) was stunning. I enjoyed playing pool with my daughter as well. We'll have to come back for a longer break!

The place was good and between the beach and the pool table, it was great for my older teenager. Overall it was a lovely place but as we love to cook when we are away, the only disappointment was the kitchenware esp the frypans being unusable and some items unclean.

Such a lovely home & stunning location. Wish we could have stayed there longer. Owners live upstairs but it was very quiet. Bed was very comfortable & we appreciated the ability to open a window & the block out blinds. Would stay again.
