YHA Port Elliot Beach House 13 The Strand, Port Elliot, South Australia 5212

"Lovely hostel, and so are the people running it. Ended up extending my stay for a few nights. The location is fantastic, the whole place is very clean and the common areas are cozy. You can easily walk into town or watch the sunrise from here. Plenty of parking either in the back or on the street in front. Will be looking forward to booking another stay here eventually."

"Lots of men chasing weird balls around in Adelaide put the price of accommodation through the roof, so decided to make a return visit to Port Elliot YHA. So glad I did. Obviously it is in a lovely spot, with a great view of the water from the balcony and just up the road from the cafes and bars of town. I had a shared bathroom double room - from it, I could look out at the other beach west of the hostel. The building has been renovated and is looking great. Internet was working fine. There's a nice outdoor deck to the rear, a games room of some sort and a kitchen dining area - there was a big school group using it the night I was in, so don't know much about it."

"I would recommend this stay to anyone travelling to Port Elliot and surrounding areas! I immediately felt at home, welcomed with a smile and good conversation. The house is clean, tidy and has so much history tied to it! The walk around the bay/water was absolutely beautiful! I felt completely at home here ❤️"

"We stayed here last September after a nice day trip to Port Elliot. The location is superb and and the Arcadia Hotel is a beautiful old building with sea views. Unfortunately however, we definitely didn’t find the stay particularly enjoyable. No one answered the telephone - I couldn’t raise anyone so booked through Airbnb. The “Double Room with Ensuite” in the Airbnb listing is in fact a lean-to at the back of the main building. It is small, bland and not representative of the lovely old hotel building. The car park at the rear is small and awkward due to chicken pens and other rubbish, I scraped the underside of my car on a stupidly positioned rock in the driveway. The management wouldn’t answer their after hours mobile or reply to text and were very unhelpful. There are rules including how to walk on the staircase to reduce noise and guests are required to remove linen and towels, carry them down the stairs and place them in laundry bins when checking out. We were glad to be leaving that morning! I would consider staying at this guest house again if it was under different management and some of the issues were sorted. I would definitely want a room in the main old building with a nice view instead of the one we got last time."

"Clean, friendly staff, great amenities and close to walking trail along the ocean front. Ensuite room very comfortable with nice coastal views - small but good value. Especially impressed with recycling bins for everything you could think of, a real commitment to our environment. Would definitely stay again."
