Quiet location

The property offered all we wanted, but needed better cleaning in a few spots ie BBQ, oven trays, inside rubbish bin. However overall would definitely recommend.

The Owner of This House Has Good Taste!

It was a wonderful and relaxing stay for our family at Lesley's place in Clayton Bay, she has spacious and beautiful gardens as well as a massive deck, the size of the house was bigger than what's shown in the pictures, we really enjoyed and appreciated the space we had at this holiday house, and the eye-catching artworks she had on display, just gorgeous, thank you!

Perfect - for us

A well appointed, and very comfortable, home away from home. Just perfect for our needs, wanting peace and quiet with a safe fenced garden for the dogs and extra parking space too. All of our boxes were ticked. Home owner was great at communicating all that we needed to know and was easily contactable if we needed anything😁

Spacious, light and quiet

Magnolias is bright, light and spacious. It's a new but already loved home with room for our extended family. Everything was clean and welcoming when we arrived. There were games and puzzles and wifi to keep us entertained when we'd had enough of the great outdoors. We didn't know Clayton Bay, but found it a quiet little holiday place, with friendly people, lovely quiet water for canoeing, pleasant walks, and - unexpectedly for somewhere so quiet - a restaurant/cafe with basic deli items. For those that wanted to do more than chilling, it was simple to head out to Goolwa or Strathalbyn to mosey around or eat out.
