52A The Esplanade, Middleton SA

A while back a group of girls went down to Middleton for a weekend away. A weekend of wine, food, surf, massages and walks along the beach. Whales were spotted, muscles soothed, stories told, and plenty of cheese devoured. Surf was, well, tragic. But we had a go.

Booking through SA Beachhouse, we stayed at 52A The Esplanade. The stay wasn't without any hiccups - not being able to work out appliances or downstairs heating the main ones - but nothing was to detract from this fabulous holiday home and i'ts location. Or our weekend away from the kids. I loved crawling out of bed in the morning, making an (unfortunately instant) coffee and costing up on the sofa watching the waves roll in. Being winter, we were also spoilt with whales frolicking just behind the break.

It's a great house, in a fabulous location. Nothing but a stobie pole to block our view of the beach. Perfect for winter or summer. Great for families, and even better for a bunch of friends (split the cost!)
