The property was just perfect for us and the dogs. The backyard was great with high and secure fences. The house was exactly as described and ticked all the boxes. The short walk to the beach was perfect for our old dog and the weather ended up being spot on for lots of outdoor fun. Highly recommended A

Hi Kathryn, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that both you and your dogs had such a wonderful stay. It's great to know the secure backyard, the short walk to the beach, and the home itself were a perfect fit for your needs. We're especially pleased that your older dog was able to enjoy the beach walks and that the weather was kind to you during your stay. Thank you for your recommendation. We'd love to welcome you and your dogs back again in the future. Best wishes, Petlet Holiday Homes

This place is exceptional in every way. The location is outstanding almost on the beach, beautiful views and close to Goolwa, Port Elliot and Victor. The fully fenced back yard was an awesome size for my dogs, we had a fabulous time. I have stayed in a lot of home away from home accommodation and Uncle Toms Shack is by far the cleanest. 10/10!!!

Nice touches

We were very pleased with this holiday rental. It was well positioned overlooking a reserve and a big beach landscape. Really clean, comfortable, with some very thoughtful touches, the house, while compact, was filled with good design and light. Large outdoor areas, pet-friendly (although absolutely no evidence of anybody else's pet!), we were right at home from the start. We would recommend this cheerful holiday property and would return any time.

Cute beach house with cracking views

I enjoyed staying at the house . Very clean and tidy and well equipped. Beautiful views of the ocean. Could do with ceiling fans in the bedrooms especially since you can’t open the windows . No dishwasher. Very small living area . Probably a little overpriced in my opinion given it’s limitations. Real estate agent great to deal with .

Very happy with our stay, lovely house and big backyard for the dog. Great location overlooking the beach. Even happier that we saw some whales. Couldn't get oven to work but that wasn't a major problem.

The house was perfect. Very well equipped and such a beautiful spot!

Our stay was amazing. The house is very lovely, with everything you could ask for. It's just a short hop skip and a jump to the beach with an amazing view of the ocean. The big back yard is great for the dogs and backyard cricket. We will definitely stay again. Thank you it was a very memorable stay.
