The Beach House
Absolutely the best place we have stayed at Port MacDonnell. The house has everything you need and beautifully presented. The outside protected undercover area is amazing to escape the winds. Bonus was the fire pit. Highly recommended. We will be staying there again next time we are down to visit family.

A wonderful place to stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Beach House. It was extremely clean, very spacious and very comfortable. The location, opposite the beach and very close to the shops, was excellent. It was also a good base for trips to Mt Gambier, Beachport and along the local coast. The Beach House was beautifully presented, uncluttered, but with a nod to the beach and to the age of the house while feeling contemporary at the same time. We also enjoyed having the choice of being able to sit out on the front veranda with the sea view or sitting more privately out the back. Everything was provided & communication was excellent. We didn't want to leave (in fact we would have liked to stay an extra night but alas, it was already booked.) Jo and Leo

First time in Port Macdonell
Never been here before, host were lovely, rooms were spacious and warm, loved the log fire in the kitchen. The only thing we would of loved is if there was a dryer, for a family of 5, it made washing a nightmare, other than that, great location, beautiful old home.
