High ceilings, leadlight windows, and polished timber floors create a sense of quiet character, while thoughtful updates ensure every modern comfort. The living room sets the tone for relaxed days and cosy nights, with soft furnishings, a Smart TV, reverse-cycle A/C, and a working fireplace for winter evenings. An upright piano adds a soulful touch for those who enjoy making music, while sunlight filters through sash windows, illuminating period details and the home’s gentle seaside spirit. Flowing on from here, the kitchen and dining area invite easy connection. A garden-facing breakfast nook is perfect for slow mornings, while the gas cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and full-size fridge make home cooking effortless. Gather around the timber dining table for shared meals, or enjoy a quiet coffee before wandering down to Horseshoe Bay. Three inviting bedrooms offer restful spaces for families, couples, or friends. Two rooms feature queen beds with generous storage, while the third includes a queen and single bed—ideal for flexible stays. Each is styled with layered textures, vintage accents, and calm tones that echo the home’s heritage character. Two modern bathrooms add everyday ease, each fitted with a walk-in shower, vanity, and toilet. Fresh linen and towels are provided, with all beds made up for your arrival. A laundry with washing machine is available for extended stays. Outdoors, the verandah is a highlight—perfect for soaking up ocean glimpses and the scent of nearby roses. The fully fenced yard offers garden areas, lawns, and both front and rear verandahs for relaxed outdoor living. The covered entertaining room includes a portable BBQ, second fridge, and beach gear, making it easy to unwind after a day on the sand.

Dec 22, 2025 Perfect location. But Lots of rules posted everywhere made it feel unwelcoming. Also there was a bad smell coming from the septic tank that at times was overpowering and we had to leave all windows open in the cold. Beautiful furniture in keeping with the period but very uncomfortable. ##### cathy k. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adele B. Dec 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Halcyon is the perfect place to relax if you aren't into TV. We read books, cooked, swam, browsed in local shops, finished a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle! The TV is in a separate room (formal lounge) and this stopped us from being distracted. ##### Adele B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher S. Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I have only positive things to say about our stay at Halcyon in Port Elliot. We found the home beautifully presented and very well equipped on all fronts. Immaculate bathrooms (yes, two of them), a kitchen that any chef would be happy to use, spacious rooms throughout and views in many directions. The fact that we were able to stay with our cavoodle, Pickles, made this a very serene getaway for us. ##### Christopher S. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darren A.
