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!

Literally couldn’t get a better view! Amazing private staircase to beach, albeit very steep. Very comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Pool table was a master touch, and friendly neighbours added to welcome vibes. Worth the price tag!!!

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

Fantastic Location!
Our family had a wonderful time staying at this fantastic accommodation for the long weekend. Stairs from the home straight onto the beach, what more could you ask for?! Everything we needed was taken care of and Chrys was so quick with her responses for any questions we had. We would love to return in the future!! Thanks again Chrys we had a wonderful family break!

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 :)
