Amazing stay

The house is very clean, well-presented and fully equipped. And there’s the view and direct access to the beach! It’s a short drive to several dining options between Port Hughes and Moonta. Chrystine is wonderful with communicating. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay and would love to return someday.
