The house is extremely clean and well presented. All the facilities you could hope for and amazing views of the ocean
This is a beautiful property that exceeded our expectations. It is in a great location, clean and well furnished. We would have stayed longer if we had time.

Limestone Coast getaway
Gillian's on the beach were the perfect hosts for our quick getaway. The house is located on the beautiful Port MacDonnell beachfront and close to the town's facilities. The house is very clean, comfortable and convenient. We will be booking again.

Memorable family holiday
The home is very clean and well equipped. Views are lovely from all rooms. Beach access is straight across the road and a nice walk to the local shops. The location is also a great base to explore the numerous sink holes and caves in the area. We also enjoyed the pool table.Thanks

Was just the greatest place to unwind and be by ourselves,while still being within walking distance of all that we needed.Absolutely loved it.It waa a shame for us that it was only available for the one night.We will back for a longer stay.We recommend this address to anyone.

Felt like a home away from home. Loved having a home made cappuccino, playing pool and views of the ocean from each room. Highly recommend a stay here.

BREAKAWAY
A very neat and tidy home. Gillian has thought of everything to enjoy our stay at Port Macdonnell
Located right on the beach from and only a few minutes to all eateries
Also close proximity to fishing and walking trails
Would highly recommend this beautiful home for a long or short stay

Listen to the ocean, wind down and relax
This is a great place to stay. Location is within a short drive to town. It is directly across the road from the beach, so you can listen to the ocean at night. Great location to wind down in a small town where everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Not too far from Mt. Gambier attractions as well.

Great space
We only had a couple of nights, but Gill was really helpful with local tips of what to see and where to eat. The property itself is spacious and well maintained and the view to the beach from every room is stunning. It’s well equipped for younger children and teens if the weather doesn’t allow for beach time. Would happily come back!!
