Family reunion
I came down from NT for a family reunion with cousins from Canada for the weekend. All had holiday houses booked in the area. I booked Shelly cottage for myself, my father and my daughter. The accommodation was very contemporary, extremely clean and suited our needs perfectly. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. 10 out of 10!

Pet friendly was needed to take our little dog dukie along on this holiday. Area was fenced well except for front gate didn’t close properly. Very comfortable interior and BBQ area good - property requires a clean clothes line and new pegs as there is no clothes dryer

Delightful!
A group of friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was very spacious, well appointed, clean and quiet. We had everything we needed to cook a meal and were also very close to walk down to The Star Of Greece for dinner. The beach was also only a short walk and McLaren vale was an easy Uber ride away. Our hosts were also excellent and offered a late check out without us having to request this. I would definitely recommend for groups of friends or families looking for a comfort stay in Port Willunga.

Perfect winter weekend
We had an amazing weekend staying at Shell Cottage. It was so beautifully decorated and there was not one thing that was overlooked. Staying on a wet, windy winters weekend, the fireplace was a perfect way to stay warm indoors. It felt comfortable, cozy and like a home away from home. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

A wonderful Getaway
Shell Cottage is an amazing place. Communication with the owners was very clear and they even touched base during our stay to check that everything was satisfactory. The cottage was clean and our dog loved exploring the gardens. The cottage had a spa bath and large outdoor setting which was great for relaxing. We definitely recommend and would love to go back soon.

Perfect get away
Shell Cottage is a perfectly renovated cottage within walking distance of the famous Star of Greece and the walkway along the Esplanade. The interior decor is beautifully presented and everything we needed was waiting for us. Organic sprays and hand washes made it a very pleasant stay. Driveway is rather narrow but still accessible. Loved it here and highly recommended.
