Great little dog friendly place

We had a lovely stay and it was perfect with our pup in tow. The beach is a short walk away and the back yard is lovely and secure. The hosts live next door and provided useful info on activities to do and places to see while in the area.

Late summer break

Irene & John’s property was perfect for us. Only a minute from the beach, it had ample parking and great living spaces both inside and outside. A lovely retreat for a couple. Our hosts were very welcoming & friendly & even had fresh produce from their garden for us to enjoy. Thank you!

Good accommodation, good location

A nice, comfortable, quiet cottage in pleasant garden setting. A short drive to the beautiful Carrickalinga beach. The owner even offered to drive me to the boutique brewery up on the hill if I wanted to drink - and to bring me back after.

Adelaide's little secret!

Lovely place to stay a few minutes from the beach. The owners drop in to make sure all is ok and accommodated all my wishes as quickly as they could. I would stay there again but only if I didn't have to pay such a big deposit.
