10 Beachside Airbnbs perfect for a South Australian staycation
The warmer weather is approaching which can only mean one thing- beach weather!
Since COVID has made it tricky to travel just about anywhere, I’ve compiled a list of beach houses to visit, all just a stone throw away from the sea. Whether you’re wanting to stay close to Adelaide, head up to the Yorke Peninsula or Port Lincoln, or even on the ferry to Kangaroo Island, I’ve got you covered.
A lot of these places I am yet to visit, but have either been stalking via Airbnb or have been tried and tested by friends.
Get the GPS ready and pop these into the coordinates:
My Sister and The Sea
Perfect for summer or winter, My Sister And The Sea is the ultimate getaway tucked away near Innes National Park. Think outdoor baths, napping on day beds, sleep in’s in French linen and cosy mornings around the combustion heater in their charming 1950’s weather board cottage. Filled with vintage and foraged finds, paired with hints of luxury, this seaside stay is at the top of my list to visit. It’s also ridiculously instagrammable.

The Shell Collector
This 1920’s bungalow overlooking South Port Beach is the perfect place for a staycation. Walking distance to Port Noarlunga (think cafes, wine, restaurants and icecream parlours), a huge stretch of patrolled beaches safe for kids, South Port beach (think surfing and stand up paddleboarding on the Onkaparinga River) and when you’re done being busy for the day, come relax on the front deck and watch the sunset.
Love & Mutiny
If you love colour and a bit of fun then this is the place for you. Located in Chinaman Wells on the Yorke Peninsula, this pretty in pink shack takes in 360 degree views of the beach, has its own path to the beach and beach fire pit. There is so much I love about this house, I’m a little bit obsessed. It’s on my list to book when the weather gets warmer.
Tiny House
The house may be tiny but it’s full of everything you need. 2 minutes from Marion Bay, is totally off grid and the perfect place to wind down. Luxurious linen, board games, outdoor kitchen and an outdoor nook to relax- absolute perfection.
Tempest
This house sleeps 8, has 180 degree views over Robe, close to the harbour, main beach as well as the Obelisk and secret beaches hidden down the cliffs. Giant glass windows, loads of natural light and the perfect place to watch the sun kiss the sea.
Trader Jacks
Everyone knows that is one of our all-time favourite places to stay in Robe. This cosy studio has a freestanding bath next to your bed, a wood fire, is less than 300 metres away from the main beach and the same distance to the main street, where you’ll find food, wine & great coffee. This is one place you’ll never want to leave.
Kestrels Nest
Baths under the stars, beach huts in the sand dunes, walking distance to the beach, ocean views and modern furnishings. You’ve got me hooked. This boutique accommodation says it has luxury in mind, and when you see the photos you’ll know why. It’s absolutely gorgeous and is the perfect place for a stay cay!
The Jetty
If the idea of luxury accommodation, across the road from one of the best resturants in South Australia, with a uninterrupted view of one of Australias best beaches sounds like your kind of hang out, then pop The Jetty on your list. Open plan, epic views and all the creature comforts of home.
The Cape Kangaroo Island
This house is my dream come true. I spotted it on Gabrielle Walsh’s Instagram and have been itching to visit since. Boasting a woodfire, oozing coastal charm, modern furnishings, ocean views and a large outdoor area for the kids to explore. Everything on my must have list.
Port Boston Beach House
This beautiful and well-appointed beach house is situated in Port Boston, only 23kms away from Port Lincoln. Architecturally designed, sea views, with a large deck perfect for a morning coffee or wine in the evening. Big airy spaces, perfect for families. When we head that way on a mini road trip I know where we are staying!
