About this property

Heroes Rest—Family Beachside Living with Firepit

Unwind above the coastline in this light-filled Middleton retreat, where ocean views and sea breezes set the tone for a memorable escape. Just a five-minute walk to the beach, the home features open-plan living flowing to a generous balcony, a secure garden with BBQ, and a cosy firepit corner for evenings under the stars. With two living areas and ample space for families, it’s designed for easy coastal stays spent gathering, unwinding and enjoying time by the sea.

Wake to ocean views and the rhythm of the coast in this relaxed Middleton escape, just a five-minute walk from the beach. Designed for effortless getaways, the home offers generous spaces to gather, unwind and settle into holiday mode from the moment you arrive.

Upstairs forms the social heart of the home, where open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas extend onto a wide balcony overlooking the sea. Start the day with coffee in the sea air or wind down with long, alfresco dinners as the sun dips. The primary bedroom is also positioned on this level, complete with an ensuite, while a separate powder room adds everyday ease.

Downstairs, a second living area with its own kitchenette creates a natural retreat for families or groups wanting extra space. A queen bedroom and a bunk room with two sets of single bunks provide flexible accommodation, alongside a central bathroom. Sliding doors open directly to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Outdoors, the secure garden invites slow afternoons and easy entertaining, complete with a BBQ for casual meals and a dedicated firepit corner perfect for winding down in the evenings.

A peaceful experience

We enjoyed our stay at Heroes Rest, the owners were accommodating with our request to take our dog and the house was comfortable and clean. The proximity to both Goolwa and Port Elliot was good and we enjoyed exploring the south coast.

Fabulous Stay

Our Christmas break at Heroes Rest was absolutely wonderful. The house was presented beautifully. It was extremely well appointed and we felt at home as soon as we arrived. The back yard was great for our dog and very secure. The whole process from booking to packing up was hassle free. Kim was very helpful with any queries along the way. Will be back.

Review of Middleton property

Hero's Retreat

The property was generally very nice and in a good location, however the two dogs next door were quite aggressive and barked a lot. In fact one dog actually jumped over the fence into the backyard and we had to try and take him back next door. It took away from an otherwise good stay.

Good place, close-ish to beach

Beach holiday with the dogs - which was nice to be able to have them along - made things much easier. The place itself was a good size, a short walk to the beach and had good amenities overall. It could do with a clean out there was a CD player... which was had to explain to our kid... and then there was a VHS player! didnt even attempt to explain that! Multiple drawers full of random games etc... an hour or two of organising that stuff so all the board games/puzzle books etc were together would be nice. Still - overall - very good. Would stay again.
