Locality
Port Hughes is a popular tourist destination, with attractions including a Greg Norman designed links style golf course (9 holes presently), the beautiful beach of Cape Elizabeth (approx 2.5 miles long stretch of beautiful soft sand), the ever popular jetty, NEW boat ramp, tavern and general store.
The beach is regarded safe for swimming as it's protected by Cape Elizabeth with no sudden drop off's. This together with the beautiful scenery and local attractions draws many families on vacation from Adelaide and surrounding areas, generally no more than 2 hours’ drive.
Fishing is a very popular pastime in the area with the choice of many "hot spots" in and around Port Hughes and Moonta Bay, whether off the beach or jetty for whiting, flathead, squid or tommies or further out to sea for our famous King George Whiting. If you don't have your own boat, there are plenty of local charters available for hire.
The Port Hughes general store offers a bit of everything. Less than five minutes away, this is a great place to go for basic provisions, fishing supplies as well as a servo. The cafe in the General Store is also excellent for a quick lunch, be warned, hot chips are addictive!
The local tavern offers excellent value for money pub meals with a front bar with the TAB which also doubles as a bottle shop. Port Hughes also has a very popular bistro "The Deck" within The Dunes complex, overlooking stunning Cape Elizabeth and the Greg Norman designed golf course.
The house is only 5 minutes away from Moonta which has a large supermarket Drakes, banking, newsagents, several pubs and local shops, including some excellent antiques shops. Kadina, a large bustling town, is the principal township of the "Copper Coast" area and is only 20 minutes’ drive away.
Port Hughes is well placed on the Yorke Peninsula for visiting its many attractions including stunning Marion Bay and Innes National Park.

We had a lovely long weekend stay with a group of friends. Very friendly owner. Golf course within walking distance was a bonus, the house is lovely however a little TLC required on the property & would suggest updating the bed linen.

We had a lovely time at Matt’s place. He was very responsive to messages and really seems guest focused. We really liked the house and location. Lots of space and ideal for a large family.
The only negative is that the property wasn’t well cleaned when we arrived. But Matt was very apologetic and hopefully that was a one off.

It is a well thought out and set out holiday house. We had a small glitch when we got there. We had paid for linen service and linen had not been provided but property owners responded straight away to my email and phone call and rectified. From then on we enjoyed our stay. Would love to stay again but longer.

Great holiday place
We had a great time during our stay. The house is very nice and clean and the surroundings very pleasant. It is very big to accommodate our families. Matthew was very prompt to all my queries and concerns. It is near the beach so kids enjoy swimming while adults enjoy crabbing and squiding.

Fantastic holiday home. Diffintly will go back. However it has a terrible linen policy.
Wonderful property with horrible linen policy. We where very happy to pay for linen.if thats the way you run business.. we expect beds made sine we paid for it in advance.
Arriving late night with half sleepy kids, finding wrong covers on wrong bed's , trying to make the bed's and settle crying kids at the same time was not my idea of how I should start a holiday.. please consider this and change the policy.
Otherwise it's a wonderful place to stay.

Family friendly
Perfect for two young families. Great shady outdoor space for little ones to play, and only a short walk to the beach.
The property could have been cleaned a little better - there was dust and toys under furniture. This didn’t actually bother us though - the bathrooms were very clean and that matters more. The kitchen is lovely and very functional but while some miscellaneous leftovers in the pantry, there wasn’t a good supply of staples available (I.e salt, pepper, oil etc).
We stayed with three kids under 3 and so appreciated the high chair and cot that were supplied. A baby gate would have been handy though.
The AC worked well and the deck upstairs was lovely.
Would recommend for families or multiple couples.

Lovely Family getaway
Great few days away. Unfortunately the weather was not too kind to us. Enjoyed the seperate living areas, as kids had their space and so too did the adults. Lovely beach, only a short walk away. My only grumble, it that we paid additional for linen and then discovered we had to make all the beds. This was a first for us. Otherwise, property was clean & tidy.

home away from home
Literally felt like a home away from home. The house was very accommodating for all our needs. We would definitely stay again.
My only constructive criticism is the clean needed to be more thorough as we had two kids under two crawling around that found lego from previous tenants... lucky we saw them pick it up.
Also there are big outdoor staples protruding from the inside stairs that need attending to.
