What to do while staying at the Bach in Port MacDonnell
The Bach is situated close to a chemist shop, supermarket, hotel, play area, museum and only a short walk to the beach and fully equipped boat ramp. Port MacDonnell’s foreshore has been recently upgraded to beautify the area and make easy, public access to the beach, jetty and the dinosaur trail.

Port MacDonnell is situated in the southern end of the Limestone Coast which is centralised around the Mount Gambier region which has many and varied attractions and facilities. The whole region is rich in history, industry, recreational activities and sight-seeing. While visiting Port MacDonnell, you can partake in the following activities;

• Recreational Fishing – good line fishing can be experienced either from jetty, breakwater, boat or charter.

Visiting the Tourist Information Office in Port MacDonnell and/or the Lady Nelson Tourist Information Centre in Mount Gambier will make the most of your stay, or check out the info in the Bach. With so many things to do in the Limestone Coast, you’ll wish you could stay longer.

Before you leave the area you will be faced with the choice of which way to go home and what will you have time to visit on the way? If heading to Adelaide, will it be dinosaur bones and Coonawarra wine, or the Big Lobster and the Coorong National Park. Or on your way to Victoria? Will it be Nelson National Park, as it is just along the road from Port MacDonnell, the Glenelg River and the Princess Margaret Rose caves, Portland and the “Great Ocean Road” starts 200km away, in Warrnambool. Or will you head towards Hamilton and the Western Border region of Victoria which offers the Grampians and is stepped in history.

Property clean and tidy. No frills (no hand soap, tissues, or toilet paper cling wrap etc). Vertical blinds on the main door had panels missing. Half a roll of 1 ply toilet paper supplied no replacement rolls to be found anywhere. Hence having to use paper towel and place in the rubbish bin. Tap water tasted odd, so a suggestion to bring your own drinking water on the website would be appreciated.

Checked in at checkin time of 1pm, house didn't look like been cleaned, beds stripped not made-up. Contacted agent, they had to find out, called us back theyd arrive about 2 30 need an hour to clean. A cleaner turned up at 1.30, said we should have been out at 10am, we said we booked for 2 nights just arrived, she stated was told it was another house she had to clean and wasnt told this this waa for a quick in and out. We left our stuff there and left for a few hours so she could clean. Cleaner was lovely and all our stuff untouched when we came back. A few maintenance issues, eg rail up stairs, glass door handle lock both wobbly,lots of spider webs outside at back and a million mozzies inside when we got there, you could see where everyone has killed them.Good location, nice little place,had what we needed plus had books, dvds, games etc. The day we checked out, that night received emsil stating our rent was in arrears but we had already pre paid. Emailed proof back but received no reply, no apolgy. Wouldn't choose to stay using a real estate agency again, totally disorganised. Price was good though. I hope this review helps to improve services and maintenance because it is a lovely place within walking distance to playgrounds, beach, boat ramp with ample parking.
