We had a wonderful stay at the property. Perfect location and a very clean and comfortable house. As we were working in the area it was nice to come back to a quiet street to relax each day. Perfect for the dogs as well who also loved their stay. Would highly recommend.

Classic Coastal Getaway was the perfect spot to stay for our working visit to Port Elliot. Exceptionally clean and well equipped property close to all amenities, cafes and shops. Homely and relaxed, the property did not lack for anything and personal touches were a bonus. Hosts Marie and Bernie were very communicative and friendly. We look forward to visiting again.
