    My family and I stayed at Royston Retreat recently for a 2 week holiday. It's a good quality property in a good state of maintenance. All the modern conveniences are supplied as well as many luxury extras. The layout of the house is perfect for a 2 family stay, with an extra loo and shower in the shed accomodation.
    We are aware that guests were leaving the day the we arrived, so we felt that the clean up was a bit hurried. There was dog fur on the cushions and beanbags and the floors a bit dirty etc. It needed a quick once over before we moved in, but perfectly fine after that. (Thank you for having a decent vacuum)
    All in all, a very enjoyable place to stay. Thanks to the owners and Accomodation on Yorkes team.

    Jess G from Adelaide, SA recommends this vacation rental

    The property was beautifully presented and extremely comfortable. It was in the perfect location, with only the shortest walk over a sand dune to the foreshore. We loved our stay and will be back!

    a guest from Highbury, SA recommends this vacation rental

    Well laid out house with pretty much everything you could need for a family. Studio/shed had the dart board and table tennis. Beach is a very short walk over one street. Very flat and perfect for a kayak, paddle board or a swim. Magical sunsets. Very quiet area and location was great to get to Point Turton and other lovely seaside towns for fishing and snorkeling. Imagine it is the best location if you have a boat. Air con was needed due to the lovely hot weather and so was very grateful for that. Bedrooms have fans only. We enjoyed our stay. Had some ants in the kitchen so take everything in containers and store things in the fridge that they might want to get into. Mgt will look into that but sometimes it can’t be helped. Didn’t impact us greatly.

    Ange W from Valley View, SA recommends this vacation rental

    Beautiful house with lovely decorations and furniture, with fans in all rooms. Really enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable as well. Found we would get some ants if food rubbish was not put outside in summer. Short walk to the beach.

    a guest from Krondorf, SA recommends this vacation rental

    property was very clean and well-maintained, so many thoughtful amenities and personal touches which we very much appreciated. BBQ & coffee machine were terrific. Close to the beach and dog friendly - perfect for us! The only feedback we had was perhaps a second (older) fridge could be added to the shed, we found that there wasn't really any room to store our fishing bait and catch + surplus drinks. Thankyou so much for a lovely stay, we hope to be back again soon!
