We had a short stay of 3 days.. but could not be happier with the location ..right in the heart of Pt Elliott…we could walk to everything we needed ..shops, cafes , hotels and restaurants.. Our accommodation was immaculately clean. And presented very well. The outdoor area, with the walled garden we loved.. again beautifully kept. A credit to the owner.. Thankyou for hosting us Wendy… we hope to be back soon.

Lovely location lacked in cleanliness

We found this property quite easily and first impressions were very good, crumbs on the couch were not well received! We thought the bathroom facilities were fine for two but anymore in the booking would have found it difficult, minimal towel hanging and the toilet leaked after just two nights.

A little jewel in the heart of Pt Elliott

We try to book the same cottage every year. As it’s walking distance to cafes, restaurants, hotels and eclectic shops.. Lucia’s Cottage, is a well loved stay. The very private back garden area, is a suntrap..with chairs, sun lounge and table. It reminds us of a Tuscan courtyard. With its hand built walled garden…and many plants. The extension on the back of the cottage, gives a modern kitchen dining and tv room, perfect for our needs. It’s not a deal breaker, but maybe a small mobile clothes rack in the bedrooms. We loved our stay. And will be back, hopefully soon. Thankyou to our host Wendy. From Marjie Pete and Maryann..

Great location

Located within easy walking distance of all of Port Elliot’s attractions- Main Street, Horseshoe Bay and cockle train - we were disappointed with the level of consumables provided. We understood that we had to bring our own linen, but we weren’t aware that we also needed to supply soap, shampoo and conditioner. There were also very limited kitchen supplies, whilst we do not expect a full pantry, we have always welcomed basic supplies such as cereal and milk, in other short term rentals we have used.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 October 2022
Thanks for your feedback… we’re disappointed too, as we nearly always achieve 5-star reviews from people who really love our property. It’s a beach-house not a hosted BnB and we have never ever had feedback on ‘lacking consumables’ in over 15 years of operating a holiday rental. We do note your booking request indicated only one person staying… As there were others obviously staying, we would have appreciated your accurate communication.

Port Elliot. Lovely Place In A Lovely Location

Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the heart of Port Elliot in a lovely setting. Four adults stayed and we all agreed we would be more than happy to stay there again. A very well-equipped and very clean cottage with a beautiful courtyard out the back. Uncovered though. Might be an issue during rain. Only complaint: no cloths hanging facility in each bedroom. A simple Ikea cloths rack would suffice.

Port Elliot.

We enjoyed our stay, great location and nice place. The only downside was it was raining the whole time and there’s no cover at all out the back (nice verandah frame but no cloth or sheets to give a covered outdoor area) so we couldn’t spend much time out there. The front has a small undercover area but the down pipe from the gutter just runs in to the stones and pools water all where that area so it gave us no real outside place to relax and enjoy the rain.
