About this property

BLUE FIN part of BLUE FIN HOLIDAY HOMES - Free Wi-Fi & Pet friendly

Blue Fin has COMPLIMENTARY FREE WIFI AND IS PET FRIENDLY.

This is a self contained accommodation with self check in facilities allowing you to be totally self sufficient. We also have flexible cancellation due to the unpredictability of the season.

Blue Fin sits just behind the foreshore out of the wind, yet only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Only a few steps to the reef, a great spot for collecting shells and spotting crabs. It is also a short distance to a walking track, ideal for taking refreshing walks and taking in the idyllic scenery with plenty of space for children to explore. Ask us about all our Specials Deals to make your stay more affordable. A complimentary welcome pack of a bottle of wine and chocolates.

Terrific house built for long lasting holiday memories. Plenty of room for the kids to kick the footy, ride their bikes or fly a kite or run without a care in the world. For the wet days there are plenty of board games, cards, Smart TV with access to Netflix, Wii or DVDs for those lazy days on the couch. For the Adults it is quiet enough to read a book, a magazine or drink a couple of glasses of wine (or 2) while solving the problems of the world.

House features:

Blue Fin is a new home with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning through out and a great back deck for sitting back with fresh seafood and wine.

Ensuite in main bedroom with a queen bed, WIR, with a LCD TV and a sliding door leading out to the deck, sleeps 2.

Bedroom 2 has a queen bed, & built in wardrobes, sleeps 2.

Bedroom 3 has 2 x 2 single bunks, built in wardrobes & LCD TV with DVD player and a stereo for CDs, sleeps 4.

Two LCD televisions in bedroom 1,3 and a large Smart TV in living room. Bring your log in details for those lazy days on the couch. Nintendo Wii, games, DVDs and plenty of books & magazines.

Kitchen looks out over the front yard. A coffee machine and many other appliances make this almost a gourmet kitchen. All taps are flick mixers throughout and quality fixtures finish this house off to a high standard.

Very sheltered area to relax and unwind. Plenty of parking for the largest of boats and cars. With rainwater and power for flushing motors and boats, with the bonus of a sink at the rear of the shed for cleaning your daily prized catches.

The Blue Fin name was decided on due to the large amount of game fishing landing Bluefin tuna and albacore. Port MacDonnell also has a large cray fishing fleet, with fishing charters available, and factories that sell fresh seafood to the public. Several other eateries including fish and chip shops, local hotel, Periwinkles Cafe, The Bay Pizzaria and Tide Espresso Cafe on the foreshore or you are just a short 20-minute drive to Mount Gambier, The Blue Lake City, where there are Metro style cafes and eateries. While in the heart of the city take a wander in the beautiful gardens, sink holes and caves or in the state-of-the-art Library or our Main Corner where you can find out the history of the area.

Located, 7 Shell Drive, and part of The Blue Fin Group, right next door to "Red Fin" a brand new 4-bedroom home, sleeps 10, or "Horizons" 4-bedroom luxury seafront apartment with panoramic sea views.

Bluefin Port Macdonnell

Wife, 2 kids (12&16) and medium sized dog- had a great stay. House was a lot more spacious than what I was expecting, ensuite to main bedroom was great, nice kitchen with lots of storage space and utensils, semi open plan dining and lounge with nice big dining table. 2min walk to the beach. Suitable swimming beach 15min walk towards lighthouse or main swimming beach 5min drive back past town. House had everything we needed the only critique was would have been great if the very spacious fenced backyard had grass or even a grassed area instead of the crushed rock toppings and some shade so as to be more user friendly especially for our dog. House/Home felt great to be in. Kim was fantastic to communicate with, she was very professional, helpful, approachable and informative. The house is also close to the AMAZING Ewen Ponds, Kilsby Sinkhole, Little Blue Lake. Make sure you book online to swim/snorkel/dive at Ewen Ponds with S.A Parks and Wildlife beforehand. Thank you Kim from all of us for a great stay.

Great mid week stay!

We had a great mid week stay at Blue Fin house. The house was spacious and comfortable and great value for money. The bed in the master was soooo comfortable. Great communication from the host and lovely complimentary choccies and wine on arrival. Would highly recommend. Note: there were plovers nesting in the backyard at the time of our stay which meant we could not use the backyard. So keep this in mind if you are planning to stay during nesting season.

Dog gone perfect

We had a lovely stay in Port MacDonnell, the house was well set up for us all. Our only issue of the smoke alarm battery running out was rectified about 20 min after the owner was notified. Absolutely exceptional! Thanks for having us, we’d definitely stay there again.

About the host

Host profile image
Blue Fin Holiday Homes in Port MacDonnell is rented out to guests as we wanted to share the lovely little fishing village with others. Blue Fin was built to make many fabulous memories with our children. We love anything and everything about the beach and you can sense that in the tastefully decorated homes that we offer for holiday makers. We wanted to have holiday homes that not only help create family memories but also to share the beautiful Limestone Coast with others. There is so much to experience in the region such as our wonderful Crayfish, fairy penguins, surf beaches, fishing beaches, Coonawarra wine, the beautiful Blue Lake, our sink hole "sunken" gardens, playgrounds and wildlife park.
Our life motto is "Make hay while the sun shines"!
