The property and the views were magnificent. Love Spring Beach and just to sit on the deck and look out across the water made our stay memorable. We spent many hours doing that! The house was great. Everything you’d look for in a holiday home. Can’t fault a thing. Thanks.

The view is magnificent. Plenty of space to spread out and listen to the sound of the waves. Great we could take our dog too. Very clean and we wanted for nothing. Highly recommend

Waking up in the main bedroom and hitting the button for the automatic blind to go up and reveal the beautiful sunrise was truly amazing. Staying here helped us to revitalise and enjoy the serenity. Love Spring Beach so much. We will be back😃

Spring Beach is a great place to swim or just walk on the beach. The property is at the end of a battleaxe block, so no road noise with enough height above sea level to provide spectacular views of Maria Island and the beach itself. The property is as described and was our beachside home for 6 nights. We loved opening the back kitchen windows and the big sliding door to the front deck. The flow through breeze is a must have. Golfers bring your sticks and get in a round with the really friendly locals at Orford GC, including others whose 'shacks' (they are anything but) are filled over weekends. We recommend Scorchers and Elly's to eat, the IGA in Orford for a good range of groceries and the Thirsty Camel for a great range of wines. Big shout out to Mick AKA Michael from East Coast Cruises. His ship cruises out of Triabunna and we spent the better part of a day with he and Milly doing the circumnavigation of Maria Island. The $64 question, would we go back- you bet!
