The perfect family stay

We absolutely loved staying at Driftwood Cove. The house layout is spacious and was accommodating to our family. Lots of areas to sit and hang out in a modern yet beachside setting. The small details within the house made it feel like a real home away from home. The location to the beach was fantastic, only a short walk. We did enjoy the outdoor shower which allowed us to rinse off after our beach visits. We can’t wait for our next visit!!

Lazy days at Port Hughes

To be truthful Driftwood was a little too big for just the two of us. But with a couple of days golf & a trip to Point Turton it provided the perfect spot to sit, relax and "do nothing". Amenities are first rate - kitchen is well sourced and clean. And whilst I wouldn't jog in to Moonta these days the location for walks around Port Hughes and proximity to the General Store for breakfast cannot be faulted. And it is quiet. Michael & Robyn B
