Thank you we had a great stay. The dog somehow got out of the enclosure while we were out on the last day. Not entirely sure how it happened so it may need to be reinforced or checked for future guests.Thank you for your hospitality

Excellent location with good accomodation facilities. Perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Only draw back was no wifi connection and having no signal on our phones didn’t help either.

Thank you so much for the review. It is very timely information as we are currently discussing if we should provide free wifi for guests. So great to get feedback on this topic. Marion Bay only has Telstra and Optus towers.

About the host

Hosted by jessica and Ryan Donovan

Host profile image
Jess and I (Ryan) are married with two kids Indi 12 years and Jarrah 10. We live on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula in the small coastal town of Elliston.
We all love the ocean and enjoy surfing snorkeling swimming fishing and diving .

Why they chose this property

Ambiance. This property is a retreat! Extra effort has been made to ensure that you have a comfortable stay. The King and Queen beds have pillow top mattresses and the Lounge suites have been chosen for comfort. The timber floorboards and wood fire contribute to the welcoming feel of the house. Expansive glass windows/ sliding doors create flow from the light filled living area to undercover deck, where you can lie in the hammock and watch over the reserve.

What makes this property unique

The undercover outdoor area is a must for so many reasons. After a long day at the beach you can still enjoy the outdoors without the harsh sun. All year round, it provides a great spot for a BBQ, with outdoor dining suite permanently placed there. We even have a mini picnic table for the tots! A slippery dip from the edge of the deck provides hours of entertainment for the young ones but nothing beats the hammock! Many a good book have been read , sheltered from the wind in that spot!
