Cosy cabin.
Perfect for the brief time we were there. It was great to come back after two long days at the dog trials & have hot showers, cook dinner & sleep in comfortable beds. Just a couple of niggles but, nothing taking away from the convenience of a pet friendly accomodation.

Found our “go to” place 🐶😊
I was on a work trip and always take my dog when I go away for work. This cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, peaceful, beach nearby for lovely dog walks 🐶😊 Great communication and help from Zoe when we needed it too! We will be back soon, and not just for work! Carpenter Rocks is perfect for us (me and 🐶) - a small community with lovely people, good old fashioned no nonsense charm, great fish and chips at the local store, and sunsets to die for, - it’s all so totally unspoilt. Long may it stay that way!

Carpenter Rocks Cabin Stay
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at your place over the three nights at Carpenter Rooks There were a few negatives but we can't complain we had an enjoyable, quiet and relaxing time here exploring Mt. Gambier and surrounding areas. I will definitely come back again in the near future.

Cosy cabin, just right for myself and my travell buddy Eadie the Beagle. Totally dog proof yard for Eadie was a big plus. Shame the weather was not better so we could have enjoyed the small deck and watched a sunset. Access was a little arward due to footpath reconstruction, and road works. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach, and the smell of seaweed brought back destinct childhood memories only South Australians will know. After living outside of SA and overseas for sometime, it was nice to be back home albeit briefly at Carpenter Rocks.
