Had a wonderful time with family celebrating a birthday. Loved the fireplace, and playing boardgames, perfect space to encourage family time and bonding. close walk to the beach which was lovely and short drive from normanville and yankalilla which made getting supplies easy. ensure you bring sheets, pillows and cases, besides that everything is there or easily aquireable locally. Thanks so much for such a special , fun filled weekend with the family.

Great getaway shack
Our family of 6 enjoyed our winter getaway. The place has a simple shack vibe and most of the things you need. Everything worked well but a covered outdoor area would be a must if staying in summer.

Nice, clean house. Well equipped kitchen. Had everything we needed. So close to the beach. Lots of room in the backyard for kids to run around. Very quiet area and wonderful bird noises in the trees around.The fridge was way too cold. Vegies froze.Other than that, we would love to come back again.

Dolphin ave property
The property was very basic, dated. If you’re looking for a very basic shack style house then this will suit. The yard doesn’t haven’t any grass for the children, it’s all dirt and prickles. The house was very dusty so we slept with all windows open. There also is only aircon in the main lounge. No wifi, no hairdryer, no soap stuff in shower, no towels (you are told to hire linen so just be aware this includes towels but nobody told me this). It is very close to the beach tho. It’s very much, you pay for what you get. We needed up leaving after one night instead of two. Look it’s okay, but nothing special- if you’re just going to sleep there and then go out all day it’s fine for that, but I wouldn’t want to spend hours in there.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations.
Locky’s Nest is designed as a classic, no-fuss beach shack, offering a relaxed and affordable getaway just minutes from Carrickalinga Beach.
We do our best to ensure guests have all the necessary information before booking, including details about the linen hire policy (which covers towels), air conditioning placement, and amenities. We encourage guests to review these details to ensure the home aligns with their needs.
The property is described as having a backyard space for kids to play, though we understand that natural coastal conditions mean it may not have a lush grassy lawn. We appreciate your note on dust levels and will pass this along to the owner for review.
We’re glad you found the location convenient and hope that, despite the concerns, you were still able to enjoy some time by the beach. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving the guest experience.

Unhappy
The property was full of mosquitos which resulted in us waking up covered in bites. We were expected to have the dishes cleaned and put away but were not provided with a tea towel! No mat for the shower so the floor was always wet and slippery. Won’t come back here again
