Lovely holiday home
A well equipped, comfortable and very clean home with a beautiful outlook over Lakala Reserve. Walking distance to the Strand and beach. Our dog also had a wonderful time and we will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic family home
We loved out time at PETLET. The location was wonderful with a short walk to the beach and shops and the park directly across the road. We were really impressed with how well it was set up it was for our Cavalier. He was safe in both the backyard and deck or out on the front deck watching the world go by.

Fantastic guest! It was our pleasure hosting you and your dog! :)
We were impressed with the property. It offered everything we required, was configured well for a small dog, and was perfectly located in Port Elliot. The property was very clean and air conditioning worked well on the 40+ degree day we experienced. Would recommend to those with a pet.

Had a great stay with the puppies
This was my second stay at this property. Very conveniently located and great access to walking tracks and the beach at the end of the street. Very comfortable, clean and well presented. Rear porch and laundry light not working which made access at night a bit tricky. Few extra cooking utensils would be good too. I seemed to have problems contacting the agent Stayz regarding my bond refund and exit review. May be best to book directly with PetLet in future. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks

Quiet and convenient location
Good tv, comfortable bed. Not a very good yard for the dog as no grass, just dirt but fencing was good. View out to park was pleasant but back deck looked onto a shed. House smelt a bit to begin with so had to air the lounge room. No cover for the car and our car got covered in bird droppings so we had to go to Mitre 10 to buy cleaning products. No doggie door.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the TV and found the bed comfortable. We appreciate your comments about the yard, view, and the absence of a doggie door. These have been noted and passed on to our Operations team for consideration in future improvements.
Regarding the lack of a car cover, while the property doesn't have a garage as listed, we do advise guests to park inside the property at the back via the driveway on Beaumont Street, as mentioned in our guidebook. We understand how you feel about the bird droppings, and while it's a natural occurrence, we apologise for the inconvenience it caused.
We're also sorry about the initial smell and will address this promptly with our housekeeping team to ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
There's a bright homey feel and an elevated position where one can walk everywhere. This is truly a lovely place to stay.

No towels
Lovely property but we think the non supply of towels is unusual these days and surprising when other linen is supplied. At least highlight the fact further up the property description and in bold print. We missed the fact as it was a late booking and we were more concerned with the number of bedrooms. Drying myself with yesterday’s shirt and a hairdryer was a challenge!
Lovely place with everything you needed, loved that linens were included - such a hassle to bring your own. Great location, opposite a park, and a few mins walk to beach, pub and town centre.
Fresh and clean, everything you could expect was provided and having linen/beds made (one less thing to pack) was great. Our faithful hound didn't want to leave!
this is a great little place to stay, you have a view over the park, can walk everywhere and the house itself has everything you could need.we had a drink on the front balcony every night and it has a great covered back area and as we had quite cold weather the electric blankets were a real treat, just a great place to stay
Excellent location in Pt Elliot, especially with lovely park across the road. We could walk and ride everywhere.. property was well presented and comfortable, nice deck and garden for the dogs. We enjoyed our stay.
Great little house with everything you need for you and your pet.
My traveling companion and my pets all loved our stay in Port Elliott in this house. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. The yard is enclosed so the dogs could do their business without any concerns. It was nice and quiet too. I loved the tv, with Stan and Netflix, as well as the huge collection of books. My dogs loved walking on the beach and the beautiful park with lake out front was beautiful to look out over from the fenced porch. The dogs loved watching the ducks in particular.
Great communication from the property manager. Accommodation was really good, spacious, well equipped, near all local amenities . Appreciated the booklet sharing local knowledge of the area. Would stay again. Difficult to find half decent places that accommodate pets. Highly recommend.
