About this house rental
CHITON DRIFT
Chiton Drift is the perfect beach getaway for families and friends. It’s a spacious new home (2015), equipped with everything you need.
This very comfortable holiday home is a great place to take a short break or spend a holiday relaxing on the South Coast. It’s beautifully decorated in a casual, tasteful style. A selection of original beach artwork adds a welcoming feel. It’s perfect to relax, recharge and rejuvenate.
Chiton Beach is just 250 metres away or a 3 minute stroll. Its a fantastic beach that stretches between Victor Harbor and Port Elliot.
Its just a 25 minute stroll along the beach to Port Elliot or a 3 minute drive (if you’re in a hurry to get to the Port Elliot Bakery!). You can borrow our bikes and ride the Encounter Bikeway and be in Port Elliot in 10 minutes (BYO bikes if you want). The Encounter Bikeway goes from the Bluff at Victor Harbor, all the way to Goolwa. It runs along the street behind Chiton Drift and is a great way to explore the area.
Non-shedding dogs may be permitted at Chiton Drift only if permission is given by the owners.
THE HOUSE
Chiton Drift has two spacious open-plan living areas – one upstairs and one downstairs.
It has a huge deck with uninterrupted views overlooking the ranges. The deck has a dining table and occasional chairs and is a wonderful place to have breakfast, enjoy a coffee with the paper or enjoy a drink before a bbq dinner.
The kitchen, dining and main living areas are all upstairs to make the most of the wonderful views. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with a dishwasher and walk-in pantry.
There are 4 bedrooms allowing for up to 9 guests - main bedroom upstairs, 3 bedrooms downstairs. Bedrooms are configured as follows:
Bedroom 1 - Queen bed
Bedroom 2 - Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Two single beds
Bedroom 4 - Double bed bottom, single bed on top
As this is a holiday house rental, sheets and linen are NOT included but we can arrange this for you for a small extra cost. Pillows and doonas ARE supplied.
Chiton Drift has 3 modern bathrooms, two with showers and one has a bath as well. Plus there is a fun outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Great after a day at the beach.
INCLUDED
Free wi-fi.
Quilts, quilt covers, pillows and mattresses with protectors are included. Guests need to supply their own linen (sheets, towels, pillow cases, bath mats, hand towels, tea towels).
If you dont want to bring linen, we can arrange for fresh linen to be delivered for you and collected afterwards. There is a small additional cost.
There is a split system air conditioning system (heating/cooling) in both of the living areas and a ceiling fan in the main bedroom.
There are two large flat screen smart TVs, one in each of the living areas, plus there are games, books and magazines. The upstairs sound system connects to your device via Bluetooth.
There is a slate top pool table in the downstairs living area.
The fully fenced and secure lawned backyard is ideal for the kids and non-shedding dogs.
There are 4 bikes plus helmets that guests can use.
THE LOCATION
Chiton Drift is just over an hour from Adelaide and is located between the popular tourist towns of Victor Harbor and Port Elliot. It is closest to Port Elliot with easy access to cafes, the famous bakery, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and some fascinating and eclectic boutiques, galleries and shops.
Of course the beach is never far away. Whether you want the safety of Horseshoe Bay or the adrenalin of Chiton Rocks, Middleton or Goolwa, there’s something for everyone. Chiton Beach is just 250 metres away and is patrolled by the Surf Life Saving Club on weekends between October and Easter.
Chiton Drift really is a special place and the perfect beach getaway.

An attractive, comfortable house in a great position, a short walking distance to a beautiful beach, perfect for a family get-together. The teenage children, and the almost teenager, love the pool table and the outdoor 'surfboard' shower. This was our second stay and we will come again.

Loved the location and short walking distance to the beach. The bikes were a bonus to cruise along the bike trail. The open plan living and balcony were great for our group. A bonus that we could bring our dog. The outdoor shower was so handy to wash off the sand. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and cookware. Could have done with some more bin liners, spray n’ wipe and bug spray. Only negative was the mattress in the upstairs main bedroom was very hard. Other than that I would recommend to anyone. Thank you

This was a lovely house with excellent facilities for our family with teenagers. Great views from the deck and perfect location. Everything was so easy to organise with the owners. The property did not disappoint.

Loved this property! So close to the beach which meant morning walks with the kids and Fred the Springer Spaniel were easy. The outdoor shower was excellent for getting rid of all the sand that the kids and the dog brought home with them. The pool table was a bonus for night time entertainment, and the view of the hills was just so lovely. We had a great stay, and the communication from Mark was excellent. Would highly recommend this property and would love to return!

Perfect family holiday
This year we decided to go away for Christmas to relax down on the south coast. Wow, did we make the right decision. We were lucky to strike perfect weather for the entirety of our beach holiday. Just like the weather, accommodation choices can be hit or miss. Chiton Drift was a big hit indeed for our 8 night getaway for our family of five! Mark the property manager set the scene for our festive break by setting up some nice Christmas decorations around the home. When we weren't at the beach, we lazed around in the upper floor living area, playing board games or reading on the beautiful deck, or watching cricket or DVDs in the evening on the big screen TV. We utilised the BBQ on the deck for many of our evening meals, while the well-equipped kitchen was close by with a lovely large fridge for a big eating and drinking family! A nice surprise was the massive pantry which meant that we could do a heap of grocery shopping and actually put it away somewhere convenient! The upstairs master suite was spacious and had a lovely ensuite bathroom with very nice shower. The 3 comfortable bedrooms downstairs meant that there was plenty of room for the whole family, with the second full bathroom located on this level. All the family reported their beds to be very comfy, and there was an abundance of good quality blankets to ensure that we slept well. (You would definitely need these if you holiday down on the south coast during the colder months). The small backyard was set-up well to allow us to shower outside and hose ourselves off after a day at the beach before coming back inside via the laundry. Downstairs also has a 1/4 size pool table which we didn't get to use much because we just chose to enjoy our time in other ways. Some other minor positives worth noting... (1) all five of us had warm showers one after another and didn't run out of hot water (2) the dishwasher does a great job (3) there is a small supply of pantry staples to help with the basics in the kitchen. All-in-all, I think that Chiton Drift represents great value for money for well above average holiday accommodation. And less than 5 minutes leisurely walk to the beach, with the great local cafe overlooking the magnificent southern ocean! Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention that our dog absolutely loved his holiday as much as we did. Thanks again Mark for having us as guests in your beautiful holiday home!
