We love this place! Comfortable and quiet. Main bedroom is a sunny morning haven. Two way bathroom is full of light. Tucked away in a side street, yet short walk to Moonta Bay beach. A nice bonus is fair pricing. We've visited here for around 9 years. Reliability, thanks Robert and Debbie!

Home away from home

A well equipped house for a home away from home for the weekend. Perfect spot and only a few minutes from everything. Seems small from the front - but spacious living areas and sleeping areas to be explored as you go inside! Thanks for having us.
