About this property

Beachfront Views at Southern Sands

Wake to the sound of waves and the scent of sea air drifting in from Knights Beach. Inside, the mood is bright, simple, and easygoing—made for unwinding between swims, walks, and bakery visits.

Upstairs, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area frames sweeping views stretching toward Hayborough and Victor Harbor. Brick feature walls and tiled floors lend a hint of retro character, while the adjoining kitchen includes all you need for everyday cooking. Share casual meals at the dining table or unwind on the sofa as the afternoon light softens across the water. Outdoors, the private fenced courtyard offers space for BBQ dining, while the small front balcony provides an inviting spot to stand with your morning coffee with ocean views.

Downstairs, both bedrooms are quiet and comfortable. The primary bedroom features a queen bed and broad windows that draw in coastal light, while the second bedroom offers a single bed and a bunk bed—ideal for children or friends sharing the stay. A bathroom and laundry on this level add easy convenience, with washing machine access to the rear courtyard for drying beach towels after a swim.

With air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and covered parking provided, this beachside base keeps everything simple—just bring your beach towels and ease into Port Elliot’s unhurried rhythm.

Great location for a small group or family

I stayed here during the October school holidays. The location is excellent - a 5 minute stroll to Horseshoe bay in one direction and Knights Beach in the other. A great spot for a stay with the kids and our dog loved it too with the beach so close at hand and a fully enclosed grassed rear yard.

This property was close to everything. Great scenic views from the windows. Never got tired of watching the waves come in. At night went to sleep listening to the crashing waves. The only disappointment is they have changed the rules regarding dogs it makes it hard when you find such a beautiful property.
