The Eyrie - coastal retreat

Enjoy the beautiful coastal lifestyle of Marion Bay and Innes National Park. There is something here for everyone - surfing, fishing, native birds and wildlife, beautiful beaches and spectacular coastline to explore.

At 28 Osprey Drive, the Eyrie Holiday House is right on the boundary of the National Park, and is only five minutes walk from Willyama Beach. Backing down onto a reserve, this pole home takes in sweeping views of native scrub and salt lakes.

The Eyrie can accommodate up to nine people. It has four bedrooms - two queens and one double, and the fourth bedroom has a bunk plus a single bed. We have a portable cot and high chair available for use. There is one bathroom, with a second WC in the laundry.

Linen is not supplied, guests provide their own sheets, pillow cases and towels.

The central area has a generous open plan kitchen, dining and living area, satellite TV and video/dvd. A wall of north facing windows let the winter sun pour in and provides cross ventilation for the summer sea breeze . Cooling and heating are supported by a split system air conditioner in the central living area and overhead and standing fans in the bedrooms.

The kitchen is well equipped with a family sized fridge, electric oven, induction cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher, microwave, slow cooker, toaster, kettle, cookware, crockery and cutlery. Enjoy beautiful sunsets out on the deck, which has an outdoor table setting and gas bbq.

Locality

Marion Bay is located at the Southern most tip of the Yorke Peninsula. It borders the Innes National Park, with rugged coastline, historic sites, nature walks, and excellent fishing and surfing spots. The Marion Bay tavern serves excellent meals and hospitality. There is a local jetty and boat ramp for the fishers. Penguin Point and Willyama Beach offer good safe swimming locations, especially for children.

Property

The Eyrie is an elevated pole home which takes in unobstructed sweeping native scrub, national park and salt lake views. The house backs down onto a reserve, overlooked by the main balcony and second private balcony attached to the main bedroom (both north facing). This bedroom also has direct access to the two-way bathroom.

Pets

We do allow dogs however as the property is unfenced, our preference is to keep them secure on the balcony. Our neighbour has chickens so please keep your pooch supervised and under effective control outside. If brought inside, please keep them off the beds and furniture and ensure that all hair is thoroughly cleaned prior to departure. Excess cleaning fees may apply where these conditions are not met.

Weekend getaway

The owner was amazing and so helpful when we couldn’t figure the TV out. Was a beautiful comfortable stay with our new puppy and the cooking facilities 2nd to none. Loved the open plan and comfy lounges and the lovely views off the balcony. The owner is by far the most helpful I have ever come across, Thankyou Cecilia xo

Pretty spot.

We loved the art gallery and coffee shop down the street, Steve was such a nice guy. The house was nice, but very, very dusty. Those steps were a killer for us over 70’s, don’t think we’ll stay there again. We’ll be a year older next time, lol.

Stay at Eyrie

Great place to stay. Loved the three tables, and we used them all! The place had a great range of crockery and cooking utensils; and the stove, dishwasher, washing machine, vacuum cleaner and fridge are excellent. We would have liked a clothes basket, and the dish washing cloth supply is too meagre. The place has a lovely selection of board games too. We donated a fly swat or two.

Nice licatiin

I take full responsibility for not reading fine print. No bedding, towels or any other necessities. We didn’t stay, we left immediately. Owner was nice but it did not reflect the pictures and little things like coffee mugs dirty, the house smelt, heater did not work. Owner stated it was budget accommodation and we needed to pay more for nice properties in area. We have been to many Stayz properties. Unfortunately, just disappointed. The owner communicated and was lovely but we have to be honest how we felt when we arrived.

Ran out of water within 24 hours

Good location near the beach and quite a spacious property with an outside deck area. The facilities were ok but it was quite dusty. For example: dusty wine glasses, the inside of drawers, wardrobes. There was also dog hair on the sofa.The main issue for us is that we ran out of water within the first 24 hours of a 4-day booking. We called the host who tried to get a water delivery but it could not be guaranteed for some days. As we could no longer flush the toilet, use the taps, cook, wash-up etc… we needed to find something else or take the 6-hour journey home. Fortunately, we did find another property but as we needed something that day, our choices were very limited, and it cost us considerably more.The host has provided a refund for our original booking.

The Eyrie Marion Bay

Balcony areas provide a great viewing platform over native vegetation. Easy walk to Willyama Beach access staircase, short walk to Penguin Lookout for those who are fit, and an easy drive to the Tavern and shop. Can't see the inland salt lake anymore due to the area being built up, and native vegetation growth. But, not withstanding, it is set in a lovely native bush garden setting, and Marion Bay area has lots to explore. Pet friendly, although I didn't trust that my teeny pooch would not push through the upright balcony rails . Easily fixed with a leash, and tether loop to the sturdy outdoor dining table.

Amazing location for national parks and beaches

Myself and 5 others comfortably stayed in this accommodation on our 3 night stay. Perfect location to access national park, look outs and various other things to see and do in and around Marion bay. House was comfy, clean and easy to organise. Will be staying here again in the future!
