We love this amazing place right on the water for our short winter break. This is our 3rd stay. There is nothing like coming back up from a cold, fresh walk or play down on the beach, to this warm, cosy home. The kitchen is well equipped to be able to cook up some fun, comfort food and the front lounge is a great spot to hangout and watch a bit of TV once you have warmed up from a day down on the beach. We are yet to have a crack at some fishing off the beach but Im sure we will try that out another time.

Hidden Gem

Nene Valley... Who knew? Never heard of this location until we tripped over this property when we were looking for something a bit different in one of our regular visits annually to the south east. The property is exactly as promised, right on the water. Middle of winter didn't make a difference, our kids just loved it. Especially when a pod of dolphins spent an afternoon right in front of us. My only request would be a fire pit somewhere so the kids could toast some marshmallows under the stars with the sound of the ocean in the background. We'll definitely stay again 😀

check beach report before you book

The shack is fine, the host is responsive, however, we didn't know that there were excessive amount of seaweed on the beach. They were like 1 metre thick across the whole coastal line! We'd been smelling rotten eggs for a few days, couldn't walk on the beach, couldn't even stay outside at the backyard because of the smell. I ended up developing allergy reaction with my nose. The whole town like "ghost town". So, autumn going into winter is surely not a good time in that area. I wish the council could do more for the tourist, I mean, that's a beautiful place if we had better management in place. After coming home feeling awful, I googled it and found that it's a normal cycle for the seagrass to "shed" and it's quite common in SA's beaches. Well, we know it now. We had learned something new :)

Hi Ruby , Thanks for your feedback . It's always dissapointing when expectations are not met. Sadly mother nature is beyond our control and the tidal seagrass wrack on some reef beaches in SA plays an important role in sustaining the beach and marine environment & changes with the weather & tide. I doubt council will upset that for the tourists sake. Both the random seaweed & the remote quietness of the area are mentioned in the detailed description - it's certainly not the Gold coast
