Out and about

Pinecroft allows you to relax and unwind. Everything is within easy reach. Take a 200 metre walk to beautiful Horseshoe Bay or stretch out a bit more and follow the spectacular walk around the rocky headlands to Green Bay and Boomer Beach. Bring your bikes and follow the popular Encounter Bikeway to Goolwa or Victor Harbor. A stroll to the village centre takes in restaurants, coffee shops, the famous Port Elliot bakery and the historic Streamranger Heritage Railway.

Perfect as always

This was our third time at Pinecroft. We just love the house, which has large airy rooms, is beautifully cleaned and is spacious and well equipped. Well set up for kids with good adult/kid separation areas. Everything works as it should and the house is handy for cockle train, beach and shops, but soooo quiet. Can’t wait to stay again next year.

Fabulous house and perfect for a family stay in picturesque Port Elliot

It’s hard to know which wonderful aspect to start with, but it’s all praise for Chris’s place in Port Elliot. Great communication, easy self check-in, spotlessly clean throughout and probably the best equipped of many self-catering houses we have ever stayed in. The house is ideally situated in beautiful Port Elliot, just a short walk to the beach, coastal walks and shops and eateries. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and the amenity of two bathrooms was ideal for our mixed family stay. The house has off street parking, including an under cover garage, gorgeous cottage style garden and both outdoor and indoor games for the kids. Cannot recommend Chris’s place highly enough, we just hope it’s available when we next want to stay 😊

Better than it looks online.

This is an excellent property that is much better than it looks online. Especially the size-as it is much more spacious than we expected and the back courtyard and garden area was superb. I only rated it 4 stars for accuracy online because it is actually better than it looks. Position was ideal , metres to Horseshoe Bay and The Strand. Communication from owner was terrific. Would go back easily.

Lovely property close to the beach

Lovely property within easy walking distance of the beach. There is plenty of living space & all the amenities you need - particularly in the kitchen. Hosts are friendly, helpful and easily contactable. We enjoyed the beautiful, well-kept cottage gardens. Thanks for having us - will visit again!

Beautiful

This is a truly beautiful house and extremely well equipped with very close proximity to the magnificent Horseshoe Bay and very close to the amazing Port Elliot Bakery. Not the owners fault , but we stayed in the master bedroom ( which is gorgeous) and had the window open slightly and every morning between 6.30 am and 7 am, the dog next door woke me up with his loud barking. Still woke us up when the window was shut. This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location and Chris was excellent with all communication .

Lovely house in a great location.

The house was large, comfortable and well-equipped. The garden was beautiful and attracted the birds. We could walk to nearby shops and cafes and out for an evening meal. The station for the Cockle Train was also within walking-distance. Port Elliot is also a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. There was more than enough to see and do during our week there. We loved it!

A very nice old single storey house with roomy new extension containing kitchen and living area, centrally located in Port Elliot (between main road and beach). We have stayed there several times and always enjoyed it. A very good selection of books on the book shelf too
