This is a self contained accommodation with self check in facilities allowing you to be totally self sufficient.
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.
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 has 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.

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.

Several other eateries including fish and chip shops, local hotel, Salt Cafe & Bar, 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.

Kim was very easy to communicate with and very prompt in replying to messages and requests. The house was very well maintained and organized and was perfect for a girls weekend catch up.
Blue fin was perfect for our family of two adults, a child and dog! Such a spacious house with everything we needed. Next time will stay longer to explore the area a bit more!
Blue fin was a relaxing and enjoyable stay for adults, children and fur kid alike. It was great to come back to comfy beds and a good sized kitchen for self catering after a day of exploring.
We enjoyed our stay at Blue Fin. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Host was easy to deal with. The beds were comfortable.
I would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Port MacDonnell.

Beautiful property, perfect for a family
What a fantastic home, beautifully decorated with attention to detail, spotlessly clean and the breakfast hamper and bottle of wine were a lovely surprise. Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions and a delight to deal with. We would highly recommend this property to everyone and look forward to our next visit to Port Macdonnell. Thanks heaps for a lovely stay.

Hi Leanne. Thanks very much for your wonderful review. It was an absolutely pleasure having you and your lovely family to stay at Blue Fin. We look forward to hearing from you again soon. Thanks again. Kim
The property is well appointed. Love that it has ensuite and bathroom. Very comfortable to stay in. However, the dogs would have loved some lawn in the backyard instead of just gravel.

brilliant, beautiful house
Thank you guys so much, we loved our stay. The dogs loved it too. The wine and breakfast provisions were a great touch. the early morning walks along the beach were fantastic and watching the mob of kangaroos from the windows was just like being at home. We hope to stay again next year. Thanks again. Donna & Stuart

Hi Donna & Stuart Thank you for your wonderful review. It is so nice to share my house with such lovely people that appreciate the time and effort I put into the smaller touches. I do try to always have the house and yard perfect for my guests. See you again next year! Thank you. Kim
This is a very clean, comfortable property. We've stayed twice now and couldn't b happier with our choice. Quiet and restful. Walking distance into the little town to buy fish and chips and visit the great little community centre. Beds very comfortable as well as the sofas.
Birds visit the little pond across the road and you can see cows and kangaroos in the distance as well. We're already planning our next visit!
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 host & house beautiful layout very comfortable with all modern ammenities definitely reccommend BLUEFIN

About the host
Hosted by KIM SIMPSON
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"!
