Seafarers Lodge
Overview
Seafarers Lodge is a charming and quaint seaside shack, lovingly curated by a mother-daughter duo, just an hour from Adelaide and a stones throw from the iconic Middleton Beach.
It's everything you could want in a beach shack - only a minutes walk from the waves, with a beautiful indoor fireplace, deck to catch the last of the days rays, cosy nooks to relax, full size kitchen for cooking epic meals shared around the dining table and French linen clad beds for the dreamiest, holiday sleep-in's.
About This Stay
We've thought of absolutely everything you need for a blissful escape.
Indoors, think fireplace, day beds, comfy lounge, books, boardgames and a funky record player with all the vintage records. And we welcome pooches!
Outside we have the deck & outdoor shower and fire pit (with marshmallows of course!) for the cooler months.
A queen bed in the master bedroom, two king singles in the second bedroom. All up, Seafarers Lodge can welcome a maximum of four guests.
The kitchen is ready for the budding chef in your crew to make themselves at home, and we'll share our favourite local places to eat, drink and visit before you arrive. We can also connect you with the most amazing team so you can treat yourself to an in-shack massages & yoga classes. Dreamy, right?!
Your days will look a little something like this…
Wake in a cloud of lush French linen, listening to the waves crash on the shores of Surfers Parade. Grab your wetty and board and walk to the surf (what a luxury), or simply sit and get lost your book as the record player hums, taking in those sweet holiday feels - nowhere to be and no one to see.
A splash in the outdoor shower will freshen you up for a peruse down the main street of quaint Port Elliot, for lunch at the famous Port Elliot Bakery to sample their renowned monthly donut of course! Or perhaps you would prefer to book in a massage or private yoga class, from our in-house wellness offering - we guarantee an afternoon of pure bliss.
The pastel sunset brings the evening mood, with a glass of red by the bonfire or perhaps cosy up on a day bed for a slow game of chess.
We’ve got all bases covered.
Seafarers Lodge is yours, to make memories, unplug and just be.
