Ruff-Inn-It was far from the reality. The house had everything the two of us needed or wanted. Plus the view was fabulous and plenty of walks in both directions without having to get into the car. Lovely sunsets too. Well stocked with kitchenware etc and set up for fisherfolk which we aren’t. But 200 metres down the road, a fisherman sells at his house. The whiting was very tasty and fresh!

A property I would definately go back to. We went with elderly people so the lighting in the house is quiet dark so it made it hard for them to see medications they were taking. There is a great view to wake up to and a relaxed vibe.

Great location and aspect. Only one split system AC located in the dining room, but this managed to keep the dining, kitchen and living spaces comfortable and cosy during the cold winter mornings and evenings. It's a pity we didn't have longer to stay.

Easter at Elliston

All the family had a few days to relax at Elliston. The location is perfect, right on the esplanade overlooking the bay. Beach straight across the road. The house is clean with plenty of room and several sleeping options. Would definitely stay again.
