Gillian's on the beachfront Port MacDonnell, the best view in town.

Situated right on the beach front with a sea view from every room. Directly opposite a beautiful, safe swimming beach. Enjoy water sports, walk, or cycle on the bike track. Within walking distance to everything you need. This beautiful home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac.

The beautiful downstairs home features polished wooden floors with three carpeted bedrooms. Main bedroom has a king bed and the other two bedrooms have queen beds with built-in robes, bedrooms one and two also have flat screen TVs. The home has a glamorous bathroom and a functional laundry with a washer and dryer. An open living area includes a kitchen, lounge, and dining and adjoins an eightball room. The lounge room features a large flat screen TV and DVD with a selection of dvd's and books. The home also has a lovely secluded pergola with an outdoor setting and BBQ.

This beautiful downstairs home is in walking distance to the General Store, Victoria Hotel, Chemist, Salt Bar and cafe, Tide Cafe, Bay Pizzeria, two fish shops, and the Community Complex and Library. You can walk to the jetty for a spot of fishing or walk across the road for a stroll or swim at the beach.

This home has no secure yard, so families must be aware of this. The home is also a smoke-free zone, and we do not allow pets.

This home offers everything you want for a group of friends or romantic getaway. Enjoy the close proximity to the beach and walking path. Relax and watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The view is just as amazing in the winter months as in the summer.

We live in the upstairs home, which is totally private, and respect our guests' privavy.
Please park on the street or on the right hand side of the driveway. Please do not park on the vacant block next door.

Great place to stay

It's a really nice place with a great view but I think parking in the street and the pathway in, carrying cases over the rocks, let it down a bit.

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

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.

Best nights sleep I’d had on our holiday

Such a lovely home & stunning location. Wish we could have stayed there longer. Owners live upstairs but it was very quiet. Bed was very comfortable & we appreciated the ability to open a window & the block out blinds. Would stay again.
