Home in Aldinga Beach
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsAldinga Beach House: Relax by the sea
From booking through to the week before our stay, communication was really clear and concise from Michael & Petrina. Our check in was super easy and the instructions on where to park and how to get to the home were very helpful. Our stay was very lovely and the perfect little spot for our two families to be together for a wedding nearby. I would definitely recommend this as a family friendly place! Thank you very much Michael & Petrina for sharing your home, it was excellent.

Beautiful place to stay, plenty of things for our girls to do. Would be great to return with our friends and their children as the place was big enough. Could have easily spent a whole week here. Peter was a fantastic host and gave us excellent instructions and local suggestions. We will be back

Lovely little cottage set in a beautiful garden with the Angas river in the background. Very relaxing spot and nice provisions included. Heather and Graham are very informative on area and places to visit. Heather certainly has the gardening bug! Enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Mariner’s Cottage was a delight to spend 3 days away, relaxing in Goolwa. So quaint, well-equipped, cosy and close to everything! Spotlessly clean. Loved the enclosed backyard. Enjoyed Netflix. Comfy beds. Enjoyed welcoming wine and snacks. Easy check-in with clear instructions for our stay. Thank you Jim and Catherine for hosting us. We hope to return again with our toy poodle who settled in beautifully.

Guesthouse in McLaren Vale
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 492 reviewsCountry Living in Large Studio close to Celebrated Wineries
We had a great stay at Samantha’s. It’s a comfy space with peaceful surroundings and the view at sunset was spectacular. It’s close to town, just a quick drive down the road for groceries, cafes, the bottle shop, etc. There are numerous wineries, distilleries and restaurants in the area, less than a 10 minute drive away. Highly recommend The Salopian Inn, The Currant Shed and Pizzateca for a tasty dining experience. SC Pannell winery next door has a lovely deck to enjoy a glass of wine & enjoy the views of McLaren Flat.

Cottage in Christies Beach
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 172 reviewsCosy home huge garden great beach
A beautiful home to have our holiday, which we didn’t want to end. Great location to do plenty of different activities from and relax in, when required. Vincent is incredibly generous with the starter pack he provided us at the beginning of our stay. Thank you very much for having us in your lovely home, Vincent. We can’t wait to be back!

Home in Aldinga Beach
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 197 reviewsReTrO Beach Shack, Wi-Fi, 75" TV, Arcade Machine
Can’t speak highly enough of the Retro Shack! It was all we needed for a relaxed family holiday. The house is a blast from the past but not at all uncomfortable. We felt so at home and loved all the details and amazing collections of 50’s and 60’s memorabilia but with all the necessary comforts like a huge tv and great beds. The back yard was awesome for hanging out and having a bbq. John was a kind and considerate host and we just didn’t want to leave!

Cottage in Normanville
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 80 reviewsVilla 25 South Shores Normanville
Consider ourselves very lucky to have snagged this gem over Christmas. fantastic location on the edge of the reserve with beautiful gum trees, and with a field right out back where we could watch kangaroos and enjoy friendly magpie family on the balcony. a stroll direct to the most beautiful beach, this truly was paradise! the house was well equipped with quality and diverse cooking utensils and we used it all cooking for Christmas. Value was exceptional and would definitely return! thanks Warren!

Apartment in Victor Harbor
4.59 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviewsGallery Resort Style Penthouse no 13
The penthouse apartment was spacious and in a great location. Parking, lift access and the amenities were all excellent. The main bedroom is huge and would benefit from a queen size bed for comfort given the room is so large. The huge lounge allowed us to spread out as a family and the kitchen was well equipped with lots of crockery for a family staying. We were only staying for a couple of days but if we were staying longer we'd have appreciated WIFI for our stay. The games, puzzles and DVDs kept us entertained. The location is amazing.
