LOCALITY
A popular holiday town with good beaches, jetty and fishing, Moonta Bay is located on the shores of Spencer Gulf 168 kilometres from Adelaide. Its sandy beaches and jetty make this township a real draw card for fishermen, families and holidaymakers alike. While here, take the opportunity to go on a fishing charter, and use local knowledge to find the secret fishing spots for a great catch.
Moonta Bay and Port Hughes are close neighbours of the small business centre of Moonta. The towns are very popular with people in retirement and holidaymakers, especially families. The Port Hughes jetty offers excellent fishing opportunities, and the area is also very popular with boat fishers and charter boats. The beaches are stunning to look at with wide sandy shores, flat clear blue green water and are excellent for families; and the jetty provides beautiful views of the coast and beaches when looking back to the mainland.

The check in and location were both as advertised and as to be expected. However, we were taken back by the numerous rules listed around the property, which gave it an incredibly unfriendly and unwelcoming appearance. While I have stayed at many rental and holiday homes before, I have never encountered such a bizarre micromanagement of adults. Rather than providing images in the cupboard of the glassware layout, it would appear to be easier to allow adults to place glassware ‘as found.’ We would not recommend the stay based on this. We found ourselves not wishing to use the provided amenities to cook, and left earlier than we had planned. For a more comfortable and welcoming property, propose the checkin email provide these rules, and have a single copy on the countertop.

Moontana was all we hoped for - clean, spacious, bright and a lovely outdoor area. 2 bathrooms was great and the location was quiet but central. A secure backyard for all our bicycles also. Communication between myself and the owner was excellent.

Andrew has been very responsive and accommodating. Property is conveniently located between Port Hughes jetty and Moonta Bay jetty - so easy to get around and in a quiet area. House is well equipped and has plenty of space for a large group. We have loved our short stay and will definitely be back.

Not wheelchair accessible
Whilst the location was good and generally the property was clean and tidy, we specifically asked the property manager, via email, whether the property was wheelchair accessible, as it is listed as being so in the details. We were told yes it was. Upon arriving, there was a small step which the wheelchair was unable to get over. We found some thin paving bricks on the property and used these to assist with getting the wheelchair into the property. This did not work. The other entrances to the house were also inaccessible. The shower alcove did not safely fit a shower chair either.
We went to use the BBQ and found this to be filthy; it had not been cleaned by the previous user.
We ended out leaving the property early as it became too stressful trying to manoeuvre the wheelchair in and out of the house. We did not enjoy the experience.

6 Comfortable nights in Moonta Bay
Great location with easy walk to the beach. Great home perfect for families, very well equipped toys area, games cupboard and book shelf. Communication with owner lacked a little and showers lacked a bit of cleanliness. 3 year old daughter LOVED the cubby house out the back.

Family Friendly
Loved the stay, all facilities are provided. We stayed here 3 years ago and loved it then, so came back.
Very family friendly with kids toys, games, puzzles, books and a cubby house outside. The only thing I would recommend is a fence, so the younger children can go outside without parents worrying they would run on the road.
Had a lovely relaxing time, 5min walk to the beach.
Would definitely come back and recommend to friends / family

Modern and spaceous house
The house is large, clean, well laid out and conveniently located close to the Pt Hughes boat ramp. There is also plenty of off-street parking for boats and vehicles.

Nice place to stay
Nice place to stay, love the layout and ensuite bathroom is fab! The only downside is the blinds in the front rooms made the rooms too bright at night and let all the heat in during the day. Would recommend ceiling fans throughout to combat heat in the bedrooms (pedestal fans were supplied but had little effect when temp over 34 degrees) and the backyard is not fenced which is not appealing to families with young children.

enjoyable stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Moontana the property if very clean and tidy and plenty of room for two families. The close access to the beach and space for the kids to play in the garden was great. Just a very tiny suggestion is to have bathmats in the bathrooms and some hand towels.
