** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **
A fabulous beachside property on the esplanade at Aldinga Beach, just 50 minutes south of Adelaide. Directly across from the beach with magnificent ocean views from both the downstairs and upstairs living areas, and of course, the upstairs balcony, taking in the beach from Port Willunga down to Sellicks Hill Range rolling down to the ocean.
This luxury beach holiday escape in the beautiful McLaren Vale wine region allows for a holiday where you, your friends, family and/or furry friends, can do as little or as much as you like. With all the usual beach attractions and activities, including snorkelling and diving the Star of Greece wreck at Port Willunga and only 1km from the popular Aldinga Drive on Beach and 15 minutes from McLaren Vale and an estimated 74 cellar doors and 59 restaurants, quite a number of which are pet-friendly.
The coastal park bike/walking trial runs just across the road and for those interested in bushwalking the property is only an 8-minute drive or a 7-minute ride to the Aldinga Scrub.
The property comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a BBQ on the balcony and is only a 3-minute drive to the local shopping centre and supermarkets, or for the “foodies”, is only a 13-minute drive from Willunga and the Saturday Morning Willunga Farmer’s Market. But, if you’re looking to just relax, a 1-minute walk or 10-second drive will get you to the local Wine & Coffee bar, Indian Restaurant and local Restaurant and Bar, all located across from the beach and offering the option of sitting outside with your furry friends. Or for that special lunch/dinner, the world-famous Star of Greece restaurant is only a 5-minute drive or 10-minute bike ride away.
The property is two storeys with both levels having living rooms with comfy couches, 55inch H.D. T.V.’s and Netflix and a blue-ray DVD player in the downstairs living area. The downstairs living area has large picture windows offering fantastic ocean views and can make for an excellent space if there are kids with some adults wanting some quiet time to relax upstairs.
The whole of the upstairs living area, the kitchen, the dining, the lounge and out onto the balcony all offer a magnificent ocean view. Bright and sparkling blue, on a sunny day and watching the sun disappear into the ocean of an evening, through to watching dark clouds and storms roll in. With the views from the dining room table or the lounge or from chilling on the outdoor lounge, the upstairs makes for the perfect chill-out or entertainment space.
The property also has free high-speed NBN Wifi with unlimited downloads. It also has a double lock-up garage with remote access, accessible from the rear of the property via Whinnerah Ave.

Beautiful house, very clean and with everything that you need. Great location for easy walks to restaurants and a wander along the beach. Big enough for the whole family and even the four legged variety. Great sunsets from the balcony ... we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Great property with easy access and plenty of space. The ocean views from both ground level and upstairs are spectacular, very relaxing. Easy access to cafes and the beach. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyed by both humans and pooches.

We had a delightful couple of nights at the apartment. It was sparkling clean, roomy and very comfortable. Sitting on the balcony watching the sunset, and early morning walks were highlights. The dog had a great time too! Communication with the manager was excellent. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, especially the sunsets and morning walks. It’s great to know your dog had a wonderful time, too! We also appreciate your kind words about the communication. We'd love to welcome you back anytime.
This house is clean and comfortable with a really great view over the ocean. It was easy to access, and felt safe and secure for us and our dog. Furniture, TV and kitchen facilities were very good also. Definitely recommend!
Such a beautiful location in Aldinga. Loved having a coffee on the balcony in the mornings with the ocean breeze coming through the big double doors! We stayed here to be close to a family wedding in Willunga, it was perfect. Also very impressed with being able to bring our dogs, we loved having them with us on a fam holiday. Backyard very safe and secure :)
The location of the property was great. Short walk to local food outlets and restaurant. Beach just across the road ideal for our furry family member and accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The only negative was the inadequate air-con which did not do it's job. A couple of very uncomfortable nights.
The house at Aldinga Beach is perfect for a big group - in this case, for family. The layout provides a master king bedroom upstairs, with walkthrough bathroom, kitchen, dining, lounge & balcony with bbq. The open plan layout is spacious & bright. The downstairs provides 3 bedrooms (2 doubles (one with bunk) and twin-share single) as well as second bathroom, and lounge. There’s also a laundry & additional toilet (so no queues!) The small enclosed yard provides safe space for dogs who are welcomed at this property, & the secure double garage for car storage was appreciated.All the necessary things for a comfortable stay were provided, including some boardgames that we had great fun with in the evenings over some local food & wines.The size & layout provides comfortable space for everyone, & we had a fabulous time!

Fantastic location and overall a great house
Needs new beds which are currently hard and lumpy and squeaky
An upgrade of all beds would do the property justice
