Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
The Valley Shack is a modern revival of the iconic Australian beach shacks of the 60s and 70s. Just a short 5 minute stroll to the rugged beauty of Second Valley beach.

Come to swim, walk, paddle board, dive to see leafy sea dragons or just sit back and take in the view of rolling hills from the deck.

We look forward to welcoming you to our much loved holiday home.

The space
The Valley Shack started life in 1974 as a rambling, ad-hoc Aussie fishing shack. Owner-built and crumbling, it was a place to sleep after a long summer's day of fishing, splashing about in the clear water and looking for starfish along the many rock pools lining the cliffs of Second Valley.

The beach shack is an essential part of Australian holiday culture, with generation after generation creating memories of long days at the beach and even longer evenings filleting the day's catch, lounging about or playing cards.

We've given our shack an update, making it a little more comfortable, whilst staying true to the essence of Aussie holiday culture. Little nods here and there recalling the mismatched old chairs, formica tables and lino floors of the original. Still exuberant and as optimistic as the day it was built.

Guest access
You have the shack and its gardens to yourself.

Other things to note
Due to our remote nature, we stock a basic pantry which includes: ground coffee beans, black and herbal teas, salt, pepper & olive oil. The caravan park down the road offers a small range of basic supplies, including fresh Fleurieu milk. A larger range can be found at the local supermarkets in Normanville and Yankalilla.

Amenities in our kitchen include a 3 burner electric stove, an oven, a modest fridge and freezer, kettle and toaster. We have a plunger coffee maker and a stovetop.

Bedroom 1 can be configured as a king or two singles. Please let us know what you would prefer.

Bedroom 2 has a queen bed.
