We are a group of friends of many years and we are now spread out in SA and QLD. We had the most amazing time catching up at a beautiful location, in an amazing house that was clean, spacious and perfect for us to unwind. We had the best view of the ocean and sunsets from our lounge. The actual lounge was so comfortable and able to accommodate us all to sit, talk and relax. The owner was amazing and the check in process etc was so easy. We are definitely rebooking for next year!!

We had a wonderful time in Moonta! Great food, great location, great weather!! Comfortable house with all the right amenities, sheets, clean showers and good coffee!!
Tips - Don’t forget to bring gas in case you want to use a BBQ as it’s not refilled. There is also no WIFI, which could be an issue if you want to “Netflix and chill” or work from the house. There is a surcharge for using the rooms in the place - we were charged more to have three rooms prepared (and the spare rooms remain locked) for 4 people as were friends, not couples. The extra cost was significantly more than the original cost totaled when selecting the accommodation.
We extended our stay because it is an amazing place, location was amazing, fishing and swimming superb, with a friendly neighbor.
We would go back in a heart beat! Bring on 2024!

Amazing location and home on the beach
This home was simply amazing - more than everything our family could need in the cleanest home we have holidayed in, right on the beachfront. We spent days simply relaxing together as a family, playing billiards, reading, fishing, cooking meals and walking for hours up the beach in the water to Moonta Bay or Port Hughes. The neighbors dog was also a wonderful companion since we missed ours while on holidays! We can't wait to return!

Great restful spot
We had changed our itinerary due to hot weather predicted in the Flinders Ranges, so where to go for a few hot days - the beach! Magic position facing west- fabulous sunsets, beach walks
Shallow at low tide, we wish we’d found South Beach, just down the road as swimming nicer here
Loved the property, had absolutely everything we needed and the billiard table was a bonus! Gas in the bbq would have been good
A great stay

Awesome doesn't even come close!
We'v e stayed at a lot of high-end properties in the Moonta/Wallaroo area, over the last few years. However, nothing even comes close to the amazing presentation we were greeted with, when, we arrived at Chrys's property last Saturday (25'th Sept 2021)... Clean, you could practically eat from the floors. Nothing was left to chance. Aside from food etc., etc., Everything was supplied, even 700ml bottles of decent shampoo/conditioner and 1lt body wash.
Our bed (we named van winkle) because it was so damn comfortable. We've never slept so well as we did.
Reiterating, we've paid may 100's of dollars more for other properties. However Chrys's place stands head and shoulders above them all.
We were really sad having to pack up and leave. Thanks for making our seven (7) day holiday, extra special :)

The best break
The first thing is The view and did I mention the view. Very well organised accommodation and just a great place to kick off the shoes and relax. Really good information available for what to do and see and all the little things taken care of. But if you just want to relax this is such a comfy place to do it.

Beachfront heaven
This house exceeded our expectations, the photos don’t do it justice. It was super clean and fresh smelling from the moment we walked in. The bedrooms were cosy and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfy. Kitchen has everything you could need and is a fantastic layout. Lounges are spacious and dining table is lovely. The pool table upstairs is fabulous and the view over the water from where you play pool is great. We enjoyed the grassed area out the back and the stair access directly to the beach is just great! All round great place to stay.. highly recommend!!

Amazing stay
The house is very clean, well-presented and fully equipped. And there’s the view and direct access to the beach! It’s a short drive to several dining options between Port Hughes and Moonta. Chrystine is wonderful with communicating. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay and would love to return someday.
