Staying in Middleton
This is a very nice house just at the right place close to the beach. It is in a quite neighborhood. The house is well equipped with all what we needed, nothing fancy but exactly what we needed. In particular we were very positive surprised about all the facilities in the kitchen including a drinking water filtration system. the communication with the owner was easy and they responded very quickly to inquiries. We would come there any time again.

Feeling relaxed ...
We loved the easy stroll to the beach and there was plenty of boogie board time for the teens. It was great to have a base in Middleton - we could easily drive out around the neighbourhood to visit the Sunday Goolwa Market, Pt Elliot and local takeaways. We even scored a visit one evening from one of the local kangaroos - passing through with a joey - back into the reserve behind. And sitting out the back in the morning sun listening to the birds was magic. Thank you for our stay - I'm sure we'll come back.

SOLITUDE
Admittebly it was middle of winter but all we wanted was solitude from screaming kids and teacher demands!! So your property was perfect! Allbeit small & cosy but did not matter as weather outside was full on south westerly winter winds, sleet, hail and torrential rain! A consolatioin was whales surfacing, say 2kms off shore, so rewarding!! I'm the trainbuff so steamranger in winter with full on whistle & smoke meeting cold air was brillant; and so close! Ample vids composated for no WiFi & all mod cons enabled cooking huge range of delights. Plenty of hot water, though wished there was a plug for a hot bath!
