Very comfortable home in a lovely location.

A family of four adults spent four nights in this welcoming home that had everything we needed. Emus and kangaroos grazed on a reserve area to the rear of the home morning and night, and bird life abounded. We were very happy with our stay and could not fault the home and the amenities provided.

Beach and wildlife!

An eclectic and rustic house with serious beach vibes, this house was perfect for our stay at Marion Bay. The highlight was the back deck & garden which was full of birds and lizards. We were even treated to a visit from an old man emu and his six chicks! What a treat!

Quiet time

Quiet location, good for relaxation. Seaside decor theme overdone and getting tired. Didn't appreciate the gardener arriving mid-stay to spray poison on the weeds or the cleaner arriving a day early because she got the dates wrong. Unless you like overpriced and poorly cooked pub food, make sure that you bring enough supplies to cover your stay.

About the host

Hosted by jessica and Ryan Donovan

Jess and I (Ryan) are married with two kids Indi 12 years and Jarrah 10. We live on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula in the small coastal town of Elliston.
We all love the ocean and enjoy surfing snorkeling swimming fishing and diving .

Why they chose this property

Ambiance. This property is a retreat! Extra effort has been made to ensure that you have a comfortable stay. The King and Queen beds have pillow top mattresses and the Lounge suites have been chosen for comfort. The timber floorboards and wood fire contribute to the welcoming feel of the house. Expansive glass windows/ sliding doors create flow from the light filled living area to undercover deck, where you can lie in the hammock and watch over the reserve.

What makes this property unique

The undercover outdoor area is a must for so many reasons. After a long day at the beach you can still enjoy the outdoors without the harsh sun. All year round, it provides a great spot for a BBQ, with outdoor dining suite permanently placed there. We even have a mini picnic table for the tots! A slippery dip from the edge of the deck provides hours of entertainment for the young ones but nothing beats the hammock! Many a good book have been read , sheltered from the wind in that spot!
