Lovely spot!

Cozy holiday home, super well stocked kitchen cupboards with the essentials like glad wrap and olive oil and the much appreciated coffee pods! We ended up driving to beach which was fine - beach shelter, snacks, boogie board etc - we’re too hard to carry that far. Really enjoyed our stay and so appreciative that the pup was able to come along too and be safe in secure yard.Missed out on the local wood fired pizza from Side Hustle - order before lunch if you want to get one.

About the host

Hosted by Bettina Venner

Host profile image
I live in the Adelaide Hills and Australia is our home after relocating from Cape Town. We enjoy regular getaways in Carrickalinga, and love seeing the dolphins visit this beach.

Why they chose this property

Our holiday home has a unique charm and we fell in love with it at first sight. The enclosed backyard makes it easy to bring along furry family members and provide peace of mind for the kids to play outdoors. It’s located opposite a large nature reserve with more space for the kids to play.
