.Beach getaway, pet friendly, coastal vibe

Located only one house back from The Esplanade, enjoy a relaxing beach getaway at The Salty Dog Beach house.
The charming cottage nestled to the rear of the property sleeping 6. Complemented by a large fully fenced yard with established gardens, birdlife and carparking.
There is plenty of outdoor space for kids and pets to play, while the three bedroom cottage is spacious and equipped to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday in this fantastic location.
With the beach, playgrounds and cafe's within a few minutes walk you can leave the car keys behind. The Aldinga Beach shopping centre is only a few minutes drive away. You may like to head into neighboring towns such as McLaren Vale or Willunga for the day. Did we mention the beach is a few minutes walk? Or you could jump in the car and drive and park on the beach for the day.
If your a bike rider you will love riding around Aldinga Beach. The walk along the Esplanade is wonderful. Having a vehicle will allow you to drive a little further and enjoy our wine region, Victor Harbor and other wonderful beaches.

We enjoyed our second stay in two years. A very comfortable house with all we needed and plenty of room for our dog. .Unfortunately the current algae situation kept us off the beach but the absence of humans, and dogs, seemed to encourage the return of many sea birds. There. is still plenty to do outdoors. We particularly enjoyed the Willunga market and exploring the surrounding countryside.

Aldinga Beach Getaway

A great family home situated super close to the beach. Very comfortable beds and furniture and aircon which was a blessing as it was very hot the first few days we were there. Great bbq and outdoor area fully fenced which was great for our grandchildren.The house had a lovely vibe and was so easy to enjoy. We highly recommned this property and wouldn't hesitate to return.
