Gorgeous property

We loved our stay. Corinne and John were great with communicating information and promptly responded to questions. The property was as listed and also included some thoughtful touches- wine and chocolate on arrival, a wide selection of teas including locally sold teas, and coffee options. Our children loved their room and the games and toys. The property was an easy walk to Horseshoe Bay and located in a very quiet area. We cannot wait to return.

Brilliant cottage and location

Very nice cottage, clean, has everything you could need and very homely. The location is great. Park your car in the driveway and walk everywhere. We enjoyed sitting in the beautiful cottage garden drinking our complimentary wine and eating the chocolate. So peaceful listening to the birds chirping. Early morning and late evening when everything is still and quiet you can hear the roar of the ocean. Just amazing. Corrine and John were very responsive and checked in with us to make sure we were ok. It was nice to meet you both and Merlin. Thank you for recommending De Groot Coffee Co, Factory 9. It was nice to have good quality loose leaf tea available from Wildflower, a SA product. I was not aware of this tea before and now I can promote this to friends. It was also nice to have wash products that were cruelty free and environmentally friendly. Nice quality extras. The bed was very comfortable and has electric blankets for cold nights. Highly recommended this accommodation and will certainly spread the word.

Vera, Anthony and their fur child Leo the pooch was a pleasure to host in our cottage. Vera was very friendly and respectful with their stay leaving the place spotless. Wouldn’t even know anyone had stayed let alone their dog. Would 100% recommend them to any host and hope they return to stay with us at Port Elliot.

Why they chose this property

We came across this property by chance one day at an open inspection and after talking to the agent and looking at old titles we saw my husbands great grandfathers name on there back in 1920. We knew we had to buy it after that. We since have learnt we have a strong family history in Port Elliot wit the Fidocks Arriving from Cornwall to settle in Currency Creek. We’ve also now have found the burial sites of our ancestors at the nearby cemetery.
