McLaren Vale Wineries and Beach Walks, yes please
Ann Marie was extremely accommodating even extending our check out time without even requesting it. The place was just as the pictures showed and checking in was extremely easy. Much recommended for others to stay here

We had a truly wonderful stay at Lewis and Allan’s place. The home was incredibly well thought out—every detail was covered. From baking and cooking supplies to cleaning tools, everything we needed was already there. The automation throughout the home made things easy, and the use of shelves instead of cupboards was a clever touch that kept us organized. The house stayed warm and cozy, and Allan was always ready to help—kind, responsive, and genuinely accommodating. What stood out most was the sincerity behind the setup: the thoughtful supplies, the washing facilities, even the maps on the wall—all made us feel truly at home, even while being away. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

MOANA BEACHFRONT HOLIDAY APARTMENT 12A
Truly fab place to stay, probably my favourite beachside Airbnb in this areaso far. The location is perfect: right on the esplanade with amazing sea views, which surprisingly isn’t that easy to find along this strip as the higher yu go, the more the cliffs and brush get in the way. It’s just serene watching the waves roll in, whatever the weather. This Airbnb is so beautifully cared for. It’s not precious, which makes a seaside jaunt much more relaxing. Tracy has literally thought of everything. You turn around and, yep, there’s a charger port when you need it, every appliance you could want – the kitchen is really well equipped. I loved the upside-down living; it was such a pleasure to be upstairs with comfy couches and a great new TV setup. Also, super retro touch: literally every DVD you can think of. Two coffee machines (yes, two!), and a great café right next door. Deep Blue is open on all public holidays, which is ace. Supermarket nearby also open on public holidays!

Gallery one at Victor Harbor
Perfect place, perfect location. Very clean

Bayside Encounter
Thank you, Vicki, for a wonderful stay in Encounter Bay. Your home was the perfect home away from home and the ideal location to walk to and from restaurants, Victor Harbour, and effortless drives to different beaches. We had a lovely weekend! Definitely recommend Vicki's place!!

The Salty Seagull - cosy, ocean view bliss!
Beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean. Amazing view and such a beautiful sunset on the balcony. The house is modern, clean and has so much for the family to do together but also the rooms are spaced out enough to get quiet time alone. Had a great time staying at the Salty Seagull.
Holiday House Rentals with beach access

Rothesay - 1 Barbara St, Port Elliot
This is a beautiful house in the perfect location. Walking to the beach, cafes and pub was very easy. The accomodation was spotless, with lots of little touches such as some basics in the pantry and a very easy to use BBQ. The bedrooms were well presented and very comfortable and we loved the undercover outdoor area too. When we return to Port Elliot we will be back here for sure.

Ocean front retreat minutes from McLaren Vale
Karena’s place is amazing. The beach views are beautiful and complemented by the stunning design features of the house. The bedrooms are comfortable and the house is stocked with everything you need. Karena is a lovely host. Highly recommend this house for a luxury beach stay close to Adelaide!

Encounter on George
What a fabulous (and cosy) beach shack! Absolutely loved our few days here over the recent Easter weekend, bonus points for the spacious backyard where our 2 year old got to hunt for eggs 🥰 Thanks for letting us stay, Marie

“Shore thing” So close to the beach!
This was our third time in Adelaide but this place was simply the best. Perfect house for family vacation near the beach. If we are visiting next time then we know which house to stay in. It was very much easier to communicate with host Meg. Meg was very friendly and the response time was also very good. Usually getting reply within 5 minutes.

Harboria House - coastal escape great for couples
Really nice place to stay, Mitch was a very good host, perfect location in victor harbour on a quiet street.

Beachfront Break at Chiton Corner
An absolute gem of a place! Our family young and old (and our dogs) had a fabulous weekend at Christine’s. The home is beautiful and very comfortable it has everything you need and more!

Bluffview Lookout at Victor, Fantastic View!
The view is absolutely amazing and intoxicating. This is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. The beds and lounge are very comfortable, the dining table is beautiful, and the open-plan living area is spacious with a split system and plenty of mood lighting options. Off-street parking and great internet were the icing on the cake. We didn’t want to leave. This place is perfect for long stays.

Spectacular beach location.Views, kayak and bikes.
An absolutely beautiful home with everything you need in it. The bedding and furnishing felt very lux and there was plenty of everything. We went as 6 friends for a girls weekend and barely left the house as it was so great! Claire was very easy to work with and was so understanding when I made a mistake with the booking and was more than happy to work with me to rectify it. Would highly recommend a stay at Claire’s house.
