About this property

Village lifestyle by the sea

Pinecroft is beautifully located for you to take advantage of all of the attractions of the historic seaside village of Port Elliot. Set on a quiet street, the house is a beautiful blend of the old and new. Four spacious bedrooms, the master with full ensuite, occupy the original 1920s bungalow. The rear extension provides open plan living/dining and fully self contained kitchen, with dishwasher & microwave. The main living area has a comfortable leather lounge suite and large flat screen TV, DVD/Blu-Ray player and R/C air conditioning. There is also a second living area, with DVD and flat-screen TV. The second bathroom/laundry has a shower, toilet and washer/dryer. Outside, a BBQ and outdoor setting are housed in a tranquil, established garden setting under the large back veranda. There is a single garage for use, off street parking and all linen is provided. In all, a perfect place for one or two or families, or to have friends come and visit.


Out and about

Pinecroft allows you to relax and unwind. Everything is within easy reach. Take a 200 metre walk to beautiful Horseshoe Bay or stretch out a bit more and follow the spectacular walk around the rocky headlands to Green Bay and Boomer Beach. Bring your bikes and follow the popular Encounter Bikeway to Goolwa or Victor Harbor. A stroll to the village centre takes in restaurants, coffee shops, the famous Port Elliot bakery and the historic Streamranger Heritage Railway. Shopping in the town centre ranges from the quirky to upmarket, with the old bookshops and boutique fashion particular highlights.

Easter in a beautiful property

The property is in a perfect location, near the beach, main street and the bakery is at the end of the road. The house is larger than the photos make it to be and the place is spotless. The garden was perfect for hiding the Easter eggs and the outdoor area perfect for barbecue lunches/ dinners.

Port Elliot stay

A very nice old single storey house with roomy new extension containing kitchen and living area, centrally located in Port Elliot (between main road and beach). We have stayed there several times and always enjoyed it. A very good selection of books on the book shelf too

Lovely house in a great location.

The house was large, comfortable and well-equipped. The garden was beautiful and attracted the birds. We could walk to nearby shops and cafes and out for an evening meal. The station for the Cockle Train was also within walking-distance. Port Elliot is also a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. There was more than enough to see and do during our week there. We loved it!

Better than it looks online.

This is an excellent property that is much better than it looks online. Especially the size-as it is much more spacious than we expected and the back courtyard and garden area was superb. I only rated it 4 stars for accuracy online because it is actually better than it looks. Position was ideal , metres to Horseshoe Bay and The Strand. Communication from owner was terrific. Would go back easily.

Fabulous house and perfect for a family stay in picturesque Port Elliot

It’s hard to know which wonderful aspect to start with, but it’s all praise for Chris’s place in Port Elliot. Great communication, easy self check-in, spotlessly clean throughout and probably the best equipped of many self-catering houses we have ever stayed in. The house is ideally situated in beautiful Port Elliot, just a short walk to the beach, coastal walks and shops and eateries. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and the amenity of two bathrooms was ideal for our mixed family stay. The house has off street parking, including an under cover garage, gorgeous cottage style garden and both outdoor and indoor games for the kids. Cannot recommend Chris’s place highly enough, we just hope it’s available when we next want to stay 😊

Beautiful

This is a truly beautiful house and extremely well equipped with very close proximity to the magnificent Horseshoe Bay and very close to the amazing Port Elliot Bakery. Not the owners fault , but we stayed in the master bedroom ( which is gorgeous) and had the window open slightly and every morning between 6.30 am and 7 am, the dog next door woke me up with his loud barking. Still woke us up when the window was shut. This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location and Chris was excellent with all communication .
