Port Willunga House on the Fleurieu Peninsula

This large old homestead is just bursting with stories of days gone by! Aproaching 100 years of age, this homestead was originally used as a fisherman's bungalow, seaweed was even used in the ceiling as insulation! It comes from the era of pressed iron ceilings and beautiful open fireplaces with a recent addition being added for extra living space in 1990.

Situated on a large double allotment with a massive elm tree for shade, opposite a reserve and just a very short walk to the infamous Port Willunga beach and Star of Greece Resturaunt this is a great family getaway!

There has been significant upgrades to the property over the years.
A fabulous new deck was added recently (2020) providing a fabulous space for sunny breakfasts and sunset drinks overlooking the reserve.
A new updated Kitchen was completed in 2022.

Features of Port Willunga House include:
- Master bedroom with a queen sized bed
- Second bedroom with a queen sized bed
- Third bedroom with two single beds
- Fourth bedroom with one single bed
- A spacious combined bathroom / laundry
- Spacious deck for outdoor dining and BBQ
- Split system airconditioner/heater in sunroom

Local Attractions

Nestled on the beach in the heart of the famous Southern Vales wine region, the area offers the best of the coast and country and yet is an easy 50km from the heart of Adelaide.

This cosy seaside haven is framed by the rolling Mt Lofty Ranges offering sweeping vistas that are carpeted by verdant vineyards with splashes of olive groves.

With its protective reef shelf to the south and a broad bay on Gulf St Vincent, the area was once all about sailing ships but is now all sea change and holiday houses high on the limestone cliffs.

A variety of beach experiences await within minutes of your doorstep - from the sheltered cove and surfing breaks of Port Willunga, the family friendly drive on stretch of golden sand from Aldinga Beach to Sellicks, the fisherman's friend and divers delight of the reef or the nudist beach at nearby Maslins.

While the green and blue gulf waters below the cliffs mean lazy days on the beach for most, the area is also a focus for diving with a unique Aquatic Reserve established in the waters off the beach to protect a rare reef formation.

Boasting international stars as local holiday house owners, these new denizens of seaside chic don't have to go far for a good espresso. The area offers renowned establishments including Star of Greece café with drop-dead gorgeous sea views, while several new nearby Cafes and pop-up vans offer excellent sea side casual eating alternatives.

This happy haven is also but a stones throw from the multitude of award winning wineries complimented by a smorgasbord of restaurants, coffee shops and galleries that meander through the nearby Southern Vales.

As South Australia's best kept secret, the area offers the best of all worlds from perfect escapes for summer family holidays to winter getaways with wine tasting beside crackling fires or even hang gliding for the more adventurous. This rich relaxed tapestry is just waiting for you to discover - and once you had a taste of the fabulous Fleurieu you'll just keep coming back!

Lovely stay in Port Willunga
A wonderful cottage in the perfect Port Willunga location. So close to the beach and access to walking trails. We enjoyed walking to and from the beach easily and exploring the local area. The perfect base. The cottage itself is lovely, spacious with all the amenities we needed for a family with 3 small kids. A big yard to burn off energy, a large well equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect Stay
This stunning, beautifully presented and prepared home served us so very well for a family weekend. The location is incredible, easy walking distance from the beach, but out of the way of the throngs of cars on the esplanade on a summer's day. The home has everything you could hope for, and nights were silent and dark! Heaven.

Wonderful few days at Port Willi !
The house was exactly as described & just perfect for our family . The house is very well equipped from the kitchen to outdoor games, beach shade , bbq etc. We loved the short stroll to the beautiful beach, & hours spent on the shaded deck enjoying the bird life, G&T’s etc. Our little 2 years loved the large lawn area for ball games etc. We we’re blessed with fabulous weather much appreciated by our visiting UK family . The only thing missing was a coffee machine . We’d love to stay again. Thankyou Jane & Rodger

Beautiful setting with lovely walking trails and beach at your doorstep
Amazing location and comfy beds. The house was in need of a deep clean, especially since we were charged a pricey cleaning fee. The kitchen was in need of some basic updated items such as saucepans etc. Nevertheless, our family loved our short break and would stay again.

Great for families
We stayed for a week prior to Easter with three adults and here young kids and the lo station was perfect to enjoy a car-free holiday with a short walk to the beach along a no through road. The historic house and large garden were perfect for the six of us with plenty of space for kids games and adults’ peace and quiet. I’d recommend this place to any family seeking an easy beach holiday - we will be booking again for Christmas time!
