We had a lovely time and the house was really good. We decided to give you the following feedback: Would be good to have a smart tv with streaming included. The dishwasher needs servicing as it leaves powder residue on everything so we had to hand wash afterwards. The house needs a deep clean to pick up the thiings that don’t get cleaned on a regular basis when shower recess, tiles, kitchen cupboards and shelves etc. the location was good except for the road noise. Thanks very much

A lovely place. Although it wasn’t esplanade with sea view, we really didn’t mind. It was a pleasant walk to the beach along linear park and sitting out on the deck, we were up in the trees with the birds. We will be booking this one again next year if it’s available.

Clean and modern home with a nice bright feel, very comfortable bedding, and a lovely large rear deck overlooking the trees with seating for 10+, perfect for breakfast & coffee, a bit of yoga or reading. Easy self check in and good communication in lead up to our stay. Really enjoyed the Apple TV and access to STAN for some late night binge viewing. The location of the property is the only point up for debate - it's a good location insofar as a short walking distance (mostly through quiet streets and nature reserve) to the amazing Port Willunga beach, (and I think it's a great base to explore the entire south, East and North of McLaren vale) but the house is located just below the crest of a high-speed, reasonably busy country road with no footpath as such. One needed to walk along this road for about 150m to the first quiet street en-route to the beach and this was not a pleasant experience, with cars flying past at 80kms per hour only a metre away. Exiting the driveway by car was also tricky at times (but the host did leave a good tip on how to negotiate this safely). I would not recommend this property to families with small children unless you stringently kept front gates closed at all times. It's not a place where your kids can ride a bike or scooter outside the house. It wasn't a deal breaker for our teenaged kids - it really was the only negative aspect of our otherwise perfect experience at this property.

Great place to stay for a family holiday holiday. Everything was supplied soap shampoo conditioner towels and bed linen which was great coming from interstate. The only thing missing was a cot for the baby but we managed with lots of pillows on the single bed. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone. Thank you

The house was really lovely. Had lots of extras. The view from the veranda was something. The only think was there was a coffee pod machine but no pods had to grab some myself. Other than that was a perfect stay. Even had Netflix and Stan and Disney Channel’s already on the tv for us to use. Nice touch

Such a lovely house to enjoy some quality family time. The deck was perfect for seeing the birdlife & possums, with glimpses of Port Willunga beach in the distance. The facilities were excellent, with nothing additional needing to have been brought. There were books, puzzles, & board games as well. Beds were extremely comfortable. Will return again in future!

Great experience, great place, comfy beds, spacious, very pretty only downside was the driveway was narrow and hard to access and close to the neighbours so the neighbours dog was constantly upset (barking) if you were in sight of him.

Great place to stay, convenient to mclaren vale and willunga wineries and markets. Very clean and comfortable house, light and airy with lovely views of the surrounding hills. Beds comfy, plenty of extra blankets/pillows. Lots of games and dvds. Kitchen well appointed. Generally very clean but table does need to be cleaned under the glass. Outdoor blinds could do with a clean too - lots of webs and a couple of nasty looking spiders. There is a lot of traffic noise from the road especially at night (no idea where everyone's going??)We had a lovely weekend here - it's a great base for exploring the beautiful fleurieu.

The house was very spacious with excellent kitchen, dining and lounge area, nice and bright. The beds were very comfortable and really appreciate the king bed, ample wardrobe space and hangers. Communication with Greg was easy and prompt. The property does need some TLC, especially the outdoor areas. Could also do with a larger smart TV with Netflix. We really enjoyed our stay at Elanora and would stay again.

The house was well designed to accommodate a family of 5 plus grandparents. We liked the big lounge /kitchen/ dining area that opened onto a large deck with a leafy outlook. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. The passing traffic was a bit noisy at times but quietened down at night.

This is a lovely light and open house with native birds abounding in the garden. (The garden is ready for a spring weeding). The deck is lovely to sit out on. Unfortunately when a heavy rainstorm came through we had bowls catching the water from the leaking combustion heater flu.
