The house is a good escape place, little isolated .Would be nice to have directions from the gate entrance to avoid people to think it's a scam and going back, we almost went back home.
About the house power, the owner kept calling that we spending too much power on our first day. It's good to indicate on the adverts the amount of power guest can use per night.
Otherwise the host was a grate guy we met him and we were happy with the stay.

So nice to be miles away from civilisation and have our own little private beach. Loved heading out for walks and exploring the national park and coming back to comfy beds and a warm fire.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and set up ready for us. The views from the house are stunning and even better if you go for a walk along the track to the left of the house. The beach access isn't easily accessible for everyone though as its abit tricky & steep. There is no fenced area for dogs so just be careful as there are rabbits and kangaroos that they might chase!

Enjoyed our short stay at Matjala. Would've been worth taking an extra night or two just to enjoy what the property has to offer itself!

If you're debating staying here - DO IT. The most gorgeous home that feels like an escape from the real world. Amazing views, great wildlife and close to the national park and Marion Bay. Cannot wait to stay here again.

A wonderful stay in Yorke Peninsula. The house was absolutely stunning, lots of sunlight and windows, all solar powered and self sufficient - incredible! The sauna does not work and there were a few snakes to be careful around, but otherwise I would 100% recommend. Great facilities and the host was very accommodating with our check in and out times.

The location and views were spectacular. The house was set up perfectly for a large group and housed upto 14 of us very comfortably. Lots of space and good access to the beach. Such a beautiful place we look forward to going back again soon! Thank you for an amazing get away

Expansive sea views with abundant bird life. Dramatic cliffs and rocky beach all to ourselves. Nobody around for miles. Almost lost the drone over the ocean!

The serenity! Set on a very large block with a 1 km driveway and its own private beach. Huge views of the bay and to Kangaroo Island and beyond. Quiet, peaceful, private, spacious, huge wood burning fireplace, 3 outdoor decks and a fire pit! Pass into Innes National park and close to a wide range of beautiful coastal and inland drives. Sean was always in contact and made our stay just that bit more special. We are already making arrangements to return again..

Stayed here for my birthday over the long weekend with friends and we all absolutely loved it. Great secluded location, close walk to rock pools for a swim, full ammenities available so if you forgot anything it was there. Sean was a great host and the communication when booking was great. Would definitely recommend this place for a large group of friends or family!

Thank you Sean, we had a great time during our stay at Matjala. Beautiful property, comfortable accommodation and amazing views. Highly recommend it.

Sean was a very understanding, welcoming and friendly host who genuinely wants his guests to enjoy their stay and is willing to do whatever to help this be possible. He gave me a few tips on what there is to do around the place and we took up the suggestion to go for a fish down by the jetty. Nothing beats bringing home some squid and cooking it up fresh for dinner! Couldn’t be happier.

We love staying here as a family - plenty of room to spread out. Kids can run around without disturbing the neighbours. Watch the sunset on the balcony while enjoying a glass of wine.
