We love this place! Comfortable and quiet. Main bedroom is a sunny morning haven. Two way bathroom is full of light. Tucked away in a side street, yet short walk to Moonta Bay beach. A nice bonus is fair pricing. We've visited here for around 9 years. Reliability, thanks Robert and Debbie!

Love this place. Only thing I could say is update info- it says there’s foxtel but there wasn’t. Also says no WiFi but they have that available. Very clean and tidy and close to beach, will be back!

Home away from home

A well equipped house for a home away from home for the weekend. Perfect spot and only a few minutes from everything. Seems small from the front - but spacious living areas and sleeping areas to be explored as you go inside! Thanks for having us.

There was a picture on the wotif description of a beautiful backyard with the sea directly behind it - down steps to the beach. I thought this was where we were going - not so. It was still a nice house but why use a false photo?

Great Location

This is a lovely holiday stay. Great beds very comfortable and really quite spacious with two living areas as well as outside. Kids enjoyed the play equipment and we adults enjoyed the back deck Quiet neighbourhood very close to Water Park and beachfront. Air conditioners work beautifully and made us very comfortable.

A very good place to stay!

Very comfortable, clean and convenient. It was also a nice quiet area and therefor a relaxing few days. We tried to contact the owners, to say, the air conditioner near the deck area wouldn’t work, and we could not get sound on the tv near the front door. My email went to the outbox and would not send.
