About this property
Platform 39, Oceanfront with Direct Beach Access
Summary:
Perfectly positioned on the beachfront at McCracken, Platform 39 offers front-row panoramic views, sweeping from Hayborough across to Granite Island, the Norfolk Pines of Victor Harbor township, and The Bluff on the horizon. With front yard access to one of the Fleurieu Peninsula's most scenic stretches of coastline. Watch the Cockle Train pass by, enjoy morning walks or bike rides to Port Elliot/Victor Harbor, and spend your days exploring the beach just steps from your front door.
This spacious four-bedroom home sleeps up to nine guests and features two living areas, expansive ocean views, multiple outdoor spaces and plenty of room for families or groups to unwind. Whether you're visiting for whale season, a summer beach holiday or a weekend escape with friends, Platform 39 provides the perfect base.
The Space:
Set across two spacious levels, Platform 39 has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its spectacular beachfront position. Large windows and elevated living spaces capture panoramic ocean views stretching along the coastline, creating a beautiful backdrop throughout your stay.
The upper level is the heart of the home, featuring open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas that flow onto a generous balcony overlooking the ocean. It's the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, watch the colourful yachts glide past, keep an eye out for passing whales during the migration season or simply relax as the sun sets over the coastline.
The home comfortably accommodates up to nine guests across four bedrooms. Three bedrooms feature queen beds, while the fourth bedroom offers a tri-bunk with a queen bed below and king single above, making it ideal for families with older children or young adults travelling together.
There are two large bathrooms, including a private ensuite to the master bedroom, along with an additional powder room for added convenience. A second living area downstairs provides plenty of space for larger groups to spread out, while the outdoor entertaining areas, courtyard and outdoor shower make returning from the beach easy and enjoyable.
Located just metres from the sand at Olivers Reef, guests can step straight onto the beach, follow the coastal walking and cycling trail into Port Elliot, or stroll along the foreshore to enjoy local cafés and coastal attractions. With secure parking, excellent storage and an unbeatable beachfront setting, Platform 39 offers everything needed for a memorable Fleurieu getaway.
The Neighborhood:
McCracken offers one of the most sought-after coastal locations on the Fleurieu Peninsula, combining a peaceful beachfront setting with easy access to Victor Harbor and Port Elliot.
Step outside and you'll find direct access to the coastal walking and cycling trail that connects McCracken, Victor Harbor and Port Elliot. Follow the path into Port Elliot for coffee, breakfast or a visit to the famous Port Elliot Bakery, or head towards Victor Harbor to explore Granite Island, browse local shops and enjoy the foreshore. The Cockle Train passes right out the front, adding to the charm of this unique seaside location.
