This cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, peaceful, beach nearby for lovely dog walks 🐶😊 Great communication and help from Zoe when we needed it too! We will be back soon, and not just for work! Carpenter Rocks is perfect for us (me and 🐶) - a small community with lovely people, good old fashioned no nonsense charm, great fish and chips at the local store, and sunsets to die for, - it’s all so totally unspoilt. Long may it stay that way! ##### Deby W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter S.

Nov 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### CARPENTER ROCKS Cosy cabin, just right for myself and my travell buddy Eadie the Beagle. Totally dog proof yard for Eadie was a big plus. Shame the weather was not better so we could have enjoyed the small deck and watched a sunset. Access was a little arward due to footpath reconstruction, and road works. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach, and the smell of seaweed brought back destinct childhood memories only South Australians will know. After living outside of SA and overseas for sometime, it was nice to be back home albeit briefly at Carpenter Rocks. ##### Gwen F. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lyn s.

Queen size bed was very comfy & kitchen & bathroom adequate for our needs as a couple. Water was nice and hot! Air conditioned which we needed on just one day. Other than that, the sea breezes sufficed. The dogs enjoyed having a yard to stretch their legs & enjoyed their daily beach walks a short distance from the accommodation. Owner was very easy & pleasant to deal with when we had an issue with a light which was promptly fixed. Unfortunately the local tavern weren’t doing their usual meals (only pizza) which we had one evening but Mt Gambier isn’t that far away for supplies. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Suzy C., Port fairy Australia Feb 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, compact property with everything you need.
