Could not fault this accommodation. Clean and tidy, easy to access, well equipped with plenty of instructions on how to use appliances, communicative and accommodating hosts, sunsets to die for, short drive to the supermarket and great cafe and restaurant next door. Exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely return if we find ourselves back down that way again. Thanks Tracy and Mark for being such great hosts.

Great, relaxing getaway.

If you love relaxing watching the ocean, well it is spectacular especially the sunsets. The walks go for miles and the shops are just a few minutes drive. I could recommend this property to people who want to enjoy a getaway by the beach, and the Moana Lifesaving Club is close.

Fabulous location and stunning beach.

This apartment is in a fantastic location directly across from Moana beach. I also thought this was the prettiest beach on the peninsula and so close to all of the wineries in McClaren Vale. We very much enjoyed our stay. Bring your own beach towels if local - we were international tourists and would have liked some beach gear but overall the apartment was great value and really clean.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Tracy Schneider

Host profile image
Mark & I purchased this property at the end of January 2018. We have always loved Moana Beach and holidayed here regularly with our daughters when they were young. We still love the area and enjoy visiting the many amazing wineries at McLaren Vale. The sunsets from the balcony are amazing particularly with a nice glass of McLaren Vale Red. We live in Adelaide in the foothills. We are semi-retired and have 2 working age daughters who now also enjoy Moana with their friends.
