Great, relaxing getaway.

If you love relaxing watching the ocean, well it is spectacular especially the sunsets. The walks go for miles and the shops are just a few minutes drive. I could recommend this property to people who want to enjoy a getaway by the beach, and the Moana Lifesaving Club is close.

Fabulous location and stunning beach.

This apartment is in a fantastic location directly across from Moana beach. I also thought this was the prettiest beach on the peninsula and so close to all of the wineries in McClaren Vale. We very much enjoyed our stay. Bring your own beach towels if local - we were international tourists and would have liked some beach gear but overall the apartment was great value and really clean.
