Port Julia and beyond

This place is a gem ! Beautiful location and family friendly, kids were very happy to bring their bikes and we explored the walking trails and of course the Jetty and beach for hours kayaking. The location was great for many day trips around the coast !

Home away from home

Very impressed. House was lovely and clean. Would be happy to stay again. Only issue was not sure where to turn the power off in the meter box. Maybe a diagram for idiots like us?

A great weekend

The place was wonderful. The only problem we had was the cupboard where dishes are was broken. And the list for leaving had no diagram to show where power and pump were to be turned off so it didn't happen.

good location and reasonably nice house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we stayed here for three nights over a long weekend. The location was nice and quiet but unfortunately there is no mobile or internet reception here (Optus) which made it a little difficult. The house was clean but a little dated. Could do with a freshen up. There was no water when we arrived and no instructions on how/where to turn on the pump and taps on the water tanks but we eventually worked it out. There was also a leak from the drainage system in the front yard which caused a large muddy pool every time we showered.

Hi Vlad Thank you for taking the time to place your review. The mobile reception over on yorkes peninsula is sometimes hit and miss. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about this. I will forward on your review to the owner. So they can have a look at the muddy puddle.

October mini break

We had a lovely time in Port Julia and Yorke peninsula. The accommodation was roomy and comfortable and the dogs had a great time too. The house had everything needed to be able to self cater, booking was easy and communication excellent. We would book again
