Timber-lined interiors and lofty ceilings create a relaxed, lodge-like ambience, while wide windows frame the ever-changing beauty of Knights Beach and the bay beyond. Downstairs, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the social heart of the home. A slow-combustion wood heater adds cosy charm in cooler months, while the ocean views invite you to simply pause and unwind. Sink into the comfortable lounge for a movie night, or watch waves roll in through the picture window. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped for easy meal prep, with an oven, cooktop, dishwasher, full-sized fridge, and coffee pod machine with pods supplied. Gather around the dining table for relaxed family dinners or long, sunlit lunches after a morning by the shore. Upstairs, a second lounge on the landing offers a peaceful retreat for reading or conversation, opening directly onto a wide balcony where the sea stretches out before you. Enjoy morning coffee as the light rises over the water or evening drinks as the sun dips behind the horizon. Outdoors, generous decks and verandahs encourage time spent in the sea air. Pick fresh herbs from the garden, fire up the BBQ, or sway gently in the hammock as the coastal breeze drifts through. A separate games room adds a playful touch, with table tennis, casual seating, and space for friendly competition—perfect for keeping the holiday spirit alive on lazy afternoons or rainy days. Four bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility for families and groups. Three are set within the main house, each styled with relaxed coastal tones and ceiling fans for year-round comfort. The fourth is a self-contained studio at the rear, complete with cooling, its own ensuite and sitting area—ideal for grandparents, teenagers, or guests seeking extra privacy. With three bathrooms across the home, everyone can move easily throughout the day. Additional conveniences include laundry facilities, off-street parking, fast Wi-Fi, and Netflix for effortless downtime. Please bring your own beach towels.

You really can’t beat the location, being an easy walk from Horseshoe Bay, Knights Beach and Boomer Beach, not to mention the varied eateries of Port Elliot - do try to get to the bakery before 11am to avoid the queues! We enjoyed wonderful sunsets from the balcony, fun games of ping pong, and the kids enjoyed having their own space (incl separate bathroom) upstairs. Lots of room for everyone, and well equipped with games, books, DVDs and CDs. Thoroughly recommend, looking forward to our next stay. ##### Catherine E.
