Seacliff Park is a suburb of Adelaide partly in the City of Marion and the City of Holdfast Bay. The suburb is adjacent to South Brighton in the north, Seaview Downs to the east, Hallett Cove to the south, and Marino and Seacliff on its western side. The suburb is divided diagonally by Ocean Road, with the northern part of the suburb mainly residential, and the southern park partly occupied by a golf course and a quarry.
Just moments away from the pristine coastline, Sandy Bay Shack provides an ideal retreat for travelers seeking relaxation and tranquility. Seacliff Beach, a picturesque sandy haven perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or leisurely strolls along the coast, is conveniently located a short distance from Pool and Park Seacliff Retreat, offering stunning views of the ocean. Explore the nearby Kingston Park Coastal Reserve, featuring walking trails, picnic areas, and scenic lookout points overlooking the Gulf St Vincent, ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. For a rugged coastal adventure, head to Marino Conservation Park, where you can explore walking trails and enjoy panoramic views of the coastline while keeping an eye out for native wildlife and birdlife.
During your stay, you'll have access to the guest bedroom, bathroom, living room, backyard, and all areas of the house. Please feel free to use any of the appliances or amenities in these areas as well. We take extra care to make sure you have the best experience. Walk into basic provisions in the pantry.

With all the essential comforts and fun recreational features, it’s the perfect spot for an easygoing family getaway.

Sandy Bay Shack is nestled in a picturesque garden setting surrounded with vibrant Wisteria flowers. While they add a lovely touch to the landscape, they do shed their petals frequently, creating a natural but sometimes messy outdoor environment. We work diligently to keep our outdoor areas tidy, but we appreciate your understanding as you may encounter some flower debris during your stay.
Our property is also ideally located next to a lovely park, inviting delightful visits from a variety of wildlife. The area is alive with the cheerful chirping of birds, making it a fantastic spot for birdwatching—keep an eye out for colorful rosellas and playful parrots! At night, you might catch a glimpse of possums, and there’s a chance you’ll spot a koala nestled in the gum trees. The cheerful songs of kookaburras will further enrich your experience, creating a serene and lively atmosphere that connects you with nature.
Security Camera: There is one camera facing over the pool area. Another one facing the driveway. The 3rd one over the backyard. No cameras inside the house.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

We were never told that the property has security system facing the pool and entrance and the recording is stored. The front door is opened with a code but gets jammed when you open it manually from the inside. We were effectively trapped inside the house a few times. The pool

Central oasis
We really enjoyed this home mostly for the pool and location. The beds were all very comfortable . Our negatives were very dirty widows that ruined the ambience of the home, made it feel grubby. There was no mattress protectors. Generalcleanliness was low .

Peaceful and relaxing
A large home that is comfortable and quiet and having air conditioning in each room was great. Swimming pool was just perfect for those hot days we had. Local shopping was great and we experienced good takeaway. Overall this was perfect for a 2 week getaway, I would recommend.

Great Team Base
Sincere thanks to the property manager - very easy to get hold of and was super responsive to getting the hot water sorted out.
The property worked really well for us, being a group of six adults. The group appreciated the warm welcome & the pantry supplies.
Well appointed house in a great location - really good for sports event at SA Aquatic Centre.
Thanks again

Perfect for us
Our family travelled to Adelaide from various locations around Australia to celebrate our youngest's 21st birthday. This house gave us a base to meet, get ready and then relax and recover the next day! We enjoyed having the large outdoor table to relax around and the pool to cool off in. The area is very quiet and surrounded by trees, making you forget that you're in the city, however shops and eateries are nearby. We would definitely re book again and have already recommended this place to friends.

Poolside great fun!
Good time for all family and pets but disappointed with oven not working, coffee machine inoperable, one cupboard handle semi-attached and very noisy floor boards particularly in corridor leading into secondary corridor, it actually sounds like a gunshot! Made contact with management about the oven and owner did not call us until well over an hour and texts back and forth were totally unsuccessful. Owners' English was hard to follow.
