About this property

A Relaxed Coastal Home. Dog-friendly!

Kick back and relax in this cosy holiday home that is just a short stroll from the beach. With its laid-back vibe and charming character, it’s the perfect spot to unwind. The house has everything you need for a great stay, plus plenty of space for your caravan, boat, and even your furry friend!

This is the ideal spot for those who enjoy a welcoming, lived-in home while discovering South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula scenic coastline or the fabulous food and wineries of the Mclaren Vale region.

The property has two comfortable bedrooms with queen beds.
A kitchen suitably equipped for a beach house with all the basics like baking trays, pots, pans, rice cooker, blender, and cooking essentials (oil, herbs, salt, pepper). Some additional food supplies are available—just replace what you use.

The dining area, integrated with the kitchen, features an extendable table and a comfy chair for chatting with the cook. It’s also air-conditioned.

The lounge is comfortable, with a large smart TV, a selection of DVDs for all ages, and board games like Pictionary and Twister. The lounge is also air-conditioned.

The bathroom is compact, featuring a shower and vanity, with the toilet located separately.

Please note there are some belongings in the house so please be respectful.

Pet friendly
The dog-friendly backyard is secure and suits small to medium, well-behaved dogs (maximum 2 and preferably outside only). There are plenty of dog walking areas locally and a short walk to O'Sullivan Beach, the local dog beach.

External
The deck (6x3.5m) features relaxed seating to enjoy sunsets with a charcoal barbecue available, bag of briquettes provided. The large grassy backyard is ideal for kids to play around the hills-hoist clothesline, also perfect for those wet beach towels.

The deck has a wind-out awning for shade on hot summer days. Being so close to the beach means the occasional strong wind, so if it looks like it might take off, just wind it back in - trust us, it’s better that way!

The long driveway offers plenty of space for parking including a caravan or your boat (nearby boat ramp at O'Sullivans Beach).

Guest access
The entire property is available for your use. The driveway gate and side gate are padlocked, with the key on the keyring.

The Local area
It’s an easy stroll to the beach at the end of the road, where you can catch some waves at Christies Surf Club or grab a drink at the summer beach bar.

Take a leisurely walk, or 5 minute drive, to Port Noarlunga for snorkelling on the reef, fishing off the jetty, or enjoying lunch at one of the local cafes.

Venture out for wine tasting or lunch at over 100 wineries in the McLaren Vale wine region or explore the stunning coastal beaches and towns of the Fleurieu Peninsular.

Local Amenities:
The local IGA is just a 4-minute walk away, or take a short drive to Beach Road for Coles, Woolworths, shops, cafes, restaurants, and wine bars. The bus stop across the road connects to Beach Road, Noarlunga Train Station, Colonnades Shopping Centre, and Wallis Cinemas.

Nearby Highlights:
5 minute drive to O’Sullivan Beach Boat Ramp
5 minute walk to beach and off-leash dog beach
20 minute walk to Port Noarlunga via the esplanade
20 minute drive to McLaren Vale wine region

A beautiful house with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.The host Louise, has left thoughtful touches throughout the house, with plenty of cooking items in the kitchen to cook up a storm. I loved the mixer and baked a cake or two during our stay.So many beautiful beaches to explore and of course McLaren Vale is on your door stop, with a beautiful cycle along the Shiraz Way.
