Port MacDonnell is situated in the southern end of the Limestone Coast which is centralised around the Mount Gambier region which has many and varied attractions and facilities. The whole region is rich in history, industry, recreational activities and sight-seeing. While visiting Port MacDonnell, you can partake in the following activities; • Boating – river (Glenelg River ~25km east), protected waters or offshore • Recreational Fishing – good line fishing can be experienced either from jetty, breakwater, boat or charter. • Recreational Lobster Fishing in season • Food and Wine Trails throughout the Limestone Coast including Penola, Coonawarra, Mount Gambier and Cape Jaffa • Mount Gambier's Blue Lake and Lakes area, • Walking Trails throughout the region • Scuba diving in famous subterranean limestone caves (renowned as some of the best cave diving in Australia) • Scuba diving at Piccaninnie and Ewens Ponds (if you don't dive, then go for a beautiful walk and enjoy the abundant bird life) • Dingley Dell, the home of the famous Australian Poet Adam Lindsay Gordon • Golf – Mount Gambier Golf Course on Attamurra Road, Mount Gambier is the premier golf course in the region (5km northeast of Mount Gambier) yet Port MacDonnell Golf Course can challenge the best golfer when the wind is up • Sporting facilities throughout the region • Shopping – Extensive shopping is available in Mount Gambier Visiting the Tourist Information Office in Port MacDonnell and/or the Lady Nelson Tourist Information Centre in Mount Gambier will make the most of your stay, or check out the info in the Bach. With so many things to do in the Limestone Coast, you’ll wish you could stay longer. Before you leave the area you will be faced with the choice of which way to go home and what will you have time to visit on the way? If heading to Adelaide, will it be dinosaur bones and Coonawarra wine, or the Big Lobster and the Coorong National Park. Or on your way to Victoria? Will it be Nelson National Park, as it is just along the road from Port MacDonnell, the Glenelg River and the Princess Margaret Rose caves, Portland and the “Great Ocean Road” starts 200km away, in Warrnambool.

Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacqueline 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The general condition was great but the weather was cold and wet and we were involved in outdoor activity during our stay we were disappointed that the bathroom was so cold that we were reluctant to go in for a shower. The shower dripped continually no matter how hard we turned the taps off. The drips splashed the bathmat so it was wet hanging on the side of the bath. We appreciated having a washing machine but no dryer made it difficult drying our outdoor clothing and washing. We liked the town, the location of the property and parking space for 2 vehicles. We would come back but at a warmer time of the year. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca B. 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very enjoyable great location.
