1 street to Boomer Beach, sleeps 8.
We had a lovely stay at the place. It was very clean. Beautiful surroundings and walking distance to Boomer beach. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. Definitely recommended.

Shell House Studio - minutes from the beach
We really enjoyed our stay at Shell House Studio. The studio is a modern, spacious and clean 1 bed room accomodation option within walking distance of the beach and a close drive to Victor. Despite being near the road the studio was quiet and the back deck with a small ocean view was lovely! We will definitely stay again when we are in Victor next.

Beachfront on Seagull - Uninterrupted Seaviews
Great place. Fantastic views of the ocean. Very peaceful. Lovely holiday.

The Cottage at Blue Door Farm
A cosy, beautifully decorated space, perfect for a weekend getaway. We felt so at home the moment we stepped foot inside. Jess and Shane were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The little fire kept us super warm on a chilly winter evening.

100m to the beach, sleeps 7
Loved a the morning coffee and afternoon wine on the back deck with the views over the nearby hillside. Lovely walks along the nearby beachside too. Great place to explore the region from.

Donnybrook— footsteps from the main street & beach
Beautiful house in a great location. Sarah was very accommodating and helpful.

Currolga Tiny - seaview to die for
We had a great weekend away in this cosy little cabin. The sea views are amazing, and plenty of wildlife around the tiny home. The nights were beautiful and the stars didn't disappoint. Olga and James were both very helpful and made sure our stay was the best possible, I highly recommend for a relaxing get away.

White Wash - cabin at the point
Kate’s little studio was lovely! Very close to the beach and styled beautifully. We had a great time here!

Your guide to Port Elliot
All About Port Elliot
Nestled between Victor Harbour and Middleton on South Australia’s beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula is Port Elliot, a picturesque coastal town just over 80 kilometres from Adelaide. Port Elliot began life in the 1850s as a shipping port, but today it’s a relaxing seaside getaway with golden sands, pristine waters, postcard worthy jetties perfect for long strolls, historic sandstone buildings, and scenic walks and lookouts. The town also boasts a collection of quaint antique stores and fashionable beachy boutiques as well as cafes serving up fresh local produce.
When it comes to beaches, you are spoilt for choice here. The most famous is Port Elliot’s main beach — offering ideal conditions for swimming, surfing, and kayaking. For calmer waters, head to sheltered Horseshoe Bay, perfect for families and less experienced swimmers. Boomer Beach is known for its giant sand dunes and distinctive surf sounds, and if you are lucky, you may even spot a dolphin or whale.

Top things to do in Port Elliot
The Strand
Wander along the Strand, Port Elliot’s main thoroughfare, full of craft shops, antique stores, modern boutiques, old historic buildings, and cafes. At the end of The Strand you will find the mighty Southern Ocean and a view of Horseshoe Bay. From here you can continue along a series of trails around the cliffs of granite, which offer spectacular views along the coastline.
The Encounter Bikeway
Hire a bike in town and take on the Encounter Bikeway, which traverses through Port Elliot, hugging the coastline. Cycle through Ratalang (Bashams Beach Reserve), a place of cultural significance for the Ngarrindjeri people, the traditional owners of the land. For spectacular ocean views, follow the bikeway to Horseshoe Bay before heading up to Freeman’s Knob. From this elevated vantage point, you can spot seals, dolphins, and even whales.
The Cockle Train
Jump aboard The Cockle Train in the centre of town and ride an authentic steam train on Australia's oldest steel-railed railway. Built in 1887, the train was named after locals who would travel by horse-drawn train to Goolwa to collect Cockles from the beach. Today you can ride the train to Middleton or Victor Harbour and take in incredible coastal cliffs views.
