About this house rental
Lily Cottage is a recently renovated beach house one street back from the beach (60 metres from front gate to the sand !).
3 bedrooms, comfortable living area and fully equipped, brand new kitchen make it easy for you to just unpack and unwind.
A fully fenced, shady backyard with Hills swing set is perfect for the kids/dogs to play in and just a few minutes walk away are two beaches, a boat ramp and great children's playground.
Try your hand at catching garfish from the jetty or take a walk along one of the beautiful beaches.
If the weather doesn't suit outdoor activities then a flat screen TV in living area and second TV and DVD player in bedroom (with DVD's supplied) mean that you don't have to fight with the kids over what to watch. Board games and books are also provided to help you relax and unwind.
You can self cater, using the gas bbq or the kitchen or give yourself a break and head down to the tavern - just 500 metres away from your front door - for a meal or a drink.
Special consideration has been given to families travelling with young children. The property is "child-proofed" and a full toy chest, wading pool, large selection of family DVDs should provide all the entertainment the kids need so that their parents can relax and enjoy their holiday too. Baby bath, high chair, walker and children's table and chairs are also available.
We also provide quilts, blankets, pillows, a bath mat, hand and tea towels. You will need to bring your own sheets, pillow cases and towels.
PLEASE NOTE : please observe the fence height (1m) on the website photographs. The front of the cottage clearly shows the fencing at it's lowest point. If this is too low for your dogs or children then please be advised that your booking is at your own risk in this regard.

After a late change(thanks Gavin for being so good about it) we settled in hoping the weather would be nice to us. The house was comfortable and close to the beach and Tavern. The pup loved exploring her new yard and the walks along the beach. Our bed was a little squeaky but we played that out to the max to keep the others amused. Overall a great couple of nights.

We enjoyed Lilys place great location, reasonably comfortable and warm, would have made our stay more enjoyable if there was a coffee machine or even a plunger. The TV reception kept loosing signal. Our 2 small dogs loved the yard ! 🐾🐾

Very suitable for a couple with a dog as the yard was a good size. Pleasantly surprised with the view from the outside table and chairs and easy walking distance to Port Hughes waterfront facilities

My son & I, along with our two young dogs, enjoyed our stay at Lily Cottage, which had everything we needed. Location is ideal for a short walk to the beach or to Moonta Bay for a longer walk. Port Hughes has a beautiful coastline and superb beach for dogs to have fun and us. Thank you, we will come again 😊🐕🐕

Last year when we had a family gathering we stayed at the big4 Caravan Park in a cabin with the other caravaners. The so called manager was agressively rude and not interested in her clients.
It was a pleasure to stay in Lily Cottage! Short walk to the big4 park and plenty of room for our adult grand children. It was also less expensive than a cabin. Lovely sitting outside with the whole clan under the palm tree. Would recommend this property everything you needed was here.

The property was great and my little dog and I enjoyed our stay. The weather could have been better.
Just one annoying thing. The front gate was secured by a chain and a couple of heavy cement objects which was a nuisance to manage every time I went out or came in.
5.0 / 5.0
We were all very impressed with how comfortable the mattresses were and slept well. That’s so important as beds can make or break a holiday! We chose your cottage because we had 2 people in wheelchairs and everything was accessible. We enjoyed being in walking distance of the beach. Great to have a washing machine with families staying too. I would come again and told my daughter who works in disability care who has asked me for your details.

Fantastic little house within short walk to beach, jetty and tavern.
Perfect for a getaway and would definitely book again

Really enjoyed our stay here. Amenities were very good - updated bathroom was excellent. Only downside was the mattress which was too soft for us both as we are used to a very firm mattress but outside of that it was an excellent stay. Our dog loved burning around the yard which was fully fenced.

Perfect for a small family getaway. Clean and comfortable enough to enjoy, but homey enough for the kids and dog to relax in. Couldn't have asked for a better location. I don't want to give 5 stars because I'll never find an availability to book it again once everyone knows 😆... but in all honesty it's worth a 5. We had the best little winter holiday.

My family had a great stay at this home, i couldn't fault anything, large backyard for ball games (byo) enough room if you wanted to bring a boat. Walking distance to beach.
My dog loved the outdoors to play with his ball, dog bowls were provided, which is handy if you forget to bring them. I recommend this stay.
Thanks Gavin for letting us use your home :)
