Great family space

Grandparents (us), adults, grandkids and dogs all spent the Easter break at Shell Cottage. Great for all ages and animals. Clean, welcoming and great spaces for our family. Dogs were happy roaming with the freedom to explore 360 degrees around the house. Short walk to sea views and beaches. My only gripe was the driveway. Shrubs encroaching on both sides makes it impossible to load the family into a car while still in the driveway. Pretty small complaint though. Go ahead and book. You won't be disappointed.

Short Break

The interior of this property is 5 star. Open plan, very modern, clean and with everything you need. Excellent finishing touches. The location is great, within walking distance of the beach, kiosk and Star of Greece etc.Communication with owner good. The only minor negative is the driveway is not really user friendly as its narrow and you couldn't open a car door without being attacked by the lavender bushes and therefore we parked on the street. Our stay was highly enjoyed.

Delightful!

A group of friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was very spacious, well appointed, clean and quiet. We had everything we needed to cook a meal and were also very close to walk down to The Star Of Greece for dinner. The beach was also only a short walk and McLaren vale was an easy Uber ride away. Our hosts were also excellent and offered a late check out without us having to request this. I would definitely recommend for groups of friends or families looking for a comfort stay in Port Willunga.
