Cosy cabin.
Perfect for the brief time we were there. It was great to come back after two long days at the dog trials & have hot showers, cook dinner & sleep in comfortable beds.
Just a couple of niggles but, nothing taking away from the convenience of a pet friendly accomodation.

Found our āgo toā place š¶š
I was on a work trip and always take my dog when I go away for work. This cabin was just perfect - clean, comfortable, peaceful, beach nearby for lovely dog walks š¶š Great communication and help from Zoe when we needed it too! We will be back soon, and not just for work! Carpenter Rocks is perfect for us (me and š¶) - a small community with lovely people, good old fashioned no nonsense charm, great fish and chips at the local store, and sunsets to die for, - itās all so totally unspoilt. Long may it stay that way!

Carpenter Rocks Cabin Stay
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at your place over the three nights at Carpenter Rooks There were a few negatives but we can't complain we had an enjoyable, quiet and relaxing time here exploring Mt. Gambier and surrounding areas. I will definitely come back again in the near future.

CARPENTER ROCKS
Cosy cabin, just right for myself and my travell buddy Eadie the Beagle. Totally dog proof yard for Eadie was a big plus. Shame the weather was not better so we could have enjoyed the small deck and watched a sunset. Access was a little arward due to footpath reconstruction, and road works. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach, and the smell of seaweed brought back destinct childhood memories only South Australians will know. After living outside of SA and overseas for sometime, it was nice to be back home albeit briefly at Carpenter Rocks.

Enjoyed our stay, property was exactly what the listing said. Would recommend if your looking for a quiet get away. We took our dog so the yard was great. Tavern had nice meals and the takeaway pizzas were delicious. Thank you to the host for an easy check in and departure and sharing your property.

Pleasant cabin by the sea
The cabin was easy to locate & well presented when we arrived. Queen size bed was very comfy & kitchen & bathroom adequate for our needs as a couple. Water was nice and hot! Air conditioned which we needed on just one day. Other than that, the sea breezes sufficed. The dogs enjoyed having a yard to stretch their legs & enjoyed their daily beach walks a short distance from the accommodation. Owner was very easy & pleasant to deal with when we had an issue with a light which was promptly fixed. Unfortunately the local tavern werenāt doing their usual meals (only pizza) which we had one evening but Mt Gambier isnāt that far away for supplies.
