Nestled into the dunes of Middleton Beach, this stylish and spacious retreat offers modern comfort and tranquillity along the shorelines of the Southern Ocean. Surrounded by native gardens and hedging, it opens directly onto the dune reserve for a peaceful escape.
Inside, the downstairs living area features rich green velvet lounges, curated coastal décor, and a TV—ideal for relaxing after an active day. Upstairs, the main living area offers a deep navy sofa and panoramic views across the dunes to the ocean. Both living zones include smart TVs ready for streaming from your personal accounts (Netflix, Disney, Kayo, etc.).
The kitchen provides modern convenience for easy home cooking, complete with an oven, induction stovetop, Nespresso machine and pods, and a breakfast bar. Share meals at the round oak dining table as sea breezes drift in or dine alfresco on the wraparound deck with a BBQ zone and a relaxed outdoor lounge for some after-dinner chats—each space thoughtfully arranged to capture the views and coastal air. In the lush backyard, a fire pit with outdoor seating invites slow evenings under the stars. While the garden is unfenced, the secure decking areas offer a safe spot for pets when left outside.

This is a very comfortable and well equipped property at the Goolwa end of Middleton- a great view over the Sandhills to the sea and excellent for beach walks. The location made it easy to relax and unwind.
Beautiful accomodation with amazing access to the beach.
Kitchen had every possible appliance and generous provision of cups, cutlery and quality glassware.
Host was great to communicate with.
A perfect place for any season.
The perfect family get away, extremely clean, full ocean views and welcome treats on arrival. Very well stocked kitchen. Great laundry. As described, we will definitely be back! Thank you.
Spacious and tastefully decorated. The only things we can fault are no tea towels, mouse poo near lounge (upstairs) and the shower heads. Overall, a wonderfully relaxing stay with close proximity to beach, and a feeling of seclusion backing onto the scrub.

Thanks Melissa for your review.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your family time in Middleton.
So sorry that the cleaners forgot to leave tea towels. Had you let us know, we could have ensured you had them. The shower heads have now been replaced and the mice also dealt with. They’ve been a problem right across the coast these last few months.
We hope you choose to stay with us again in the future.
