About this property

Unwind Holidays is delighted to welcome you to:

Kooroona House - Moonta

What do you get? A very well-maintained and presented property that has its origins in the 1860s to 1880s, our cottage is a perfect private getaway to go back and visit the historic charm of a miner's cottage that has taken the top position of Stayz page for many years.

Within a short distance to Moonta's famous ice cream Shop and near Moonta's Mines and the old fashion Lollie shop. Moonta Bay has a free water park for the children.

There are two spacious bedrooms - offering queen size beds in each and 1 single in the second bedroom - the third bedroom is a larger than normal single with 2 single beds.

The living areas are generous with separate spaces for large dinner parties as well as somewhere to sit and relax and enjoy the serenity.

The kitchen is very workable, and you will be able to prepare the day's catch easily whilst chatting and enjoying a glass of wine with family and friends.

A well-appointed bathroom, as well as a utility area, complete the inside of the home.

All of this comes furnished and ready to either work or accommodate you.

Outside is a good size verandah with a gas BBQ to cook up that catch and a great outdoor eating area.

There is plenty of room at the side and rear for those winter bonfires as you take in the view from Moonta to Port Hughes and beyond.

Highlights

Moonta is renowned for its delectable Cornish pastries, known far and wide.

Port Hughes Jetty and Moonta Bay Jetty offer excellent opportunities for fishing and crabbing.

Moonta Bay features a delightful splash town water park that is free and perfect for young children to enjoy.

For those seeking a peaceful retreat, there are fantastic cafes available to unwind and relax in.

Visiting the Moonta Mine Museum and experiencing the Moonta National Tourist Railway is a must. Take a scenic 50-minute train ride through the National Heritage Moonta Mines and immerse yourself in the rich history and heritage they offer.

Unsatisfied experience

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The overall cleanliness inside the property was below average. The floors were filthy, the house had an unpleasant smell (necessitating the purchase of candles), and the bathroom, especially the shower head, was subpar. There was an overwhelming musty odor in the pantry and kitchen area. Additionally, there was a strong smell of a dead carcass, possibly fish, emanating from the outside bins, which were unfortunately located next to the front door, discouraging its use. The fridge contained half-drunk coffee and chilled drinks, indicating it hadn't been cleaned before our arrival. In summary, the cleanliness of the accommodation was well below average, and I am surprised that this property is listed on .
