We have stayed at Adrift several times (I have lost count) and it's always a great stay. Our dog loves the backyard and the nearby leash free beach and we really appreciate the well-stocked kitchen and the lovely reading nook in the master bedroom. We always find everything we need, including fly spray, sun screen and other toiletries. Annie is always very helpful and responsive if we have questions or concerns. Thanks again!
Very homely, relaxing, and central location to everything.We all enjoyed our stay and loved the outside entertainment with eating outside and the table tennis and enough room for dogs to roam around.
Rustic but very neat and extremely well-equipped. Fabulous yard for our dogs and very close to off-lead dog beach. Area was quiet and peaceful. The owner was very responsive to questions. All together, I would highly recommend this place.
A very pleasant stay in an original beach house with added mod cons like a dishwasher and aircon. We enjoyed the lovely tranquil setting for the humans and the fur babies to unwind and relax. Just how a beach holiday should be without too much fuss or hard work - having linen supplied made things so easy! Really enjoyed strolls along the dog beach and partaking in yummy local fare at a couple of nice eateries a short drive away.
As a dog owner it was fabulous. Instinctively they loved it. Back yard front yard so sniffy friendly.
I know very little of the Island but it was peaceful and pretty
This holiday home is better than described. The home is fantastic for a break or holiday, and first class for the family pet. Very safe outside!The facilities inside are excellent and clean. Everything needed and more. Comfortable and homely.Well done!!!
Fantastic property, host & the home had everything PLUS MORE, very abundant. Wanted for nothing, very impressed. Clean, beds comfy, wifi free, dog friendly, host kind & friendly, home away from home. Very impressed. Thank you

The house is clean inside however outside needs tiding up - lots of cobwebs everywhere. The pictures on the website doesn't show the 3rd bedroom has only a curtain - no door on it. Great location and easy walk to dog beach - great for pets
Adrift was a lovely place to spend a wintery weekend with kids and the dog. Comfy beds and clean sheets. Hosts were also lovely. Don’t have anything to complain about, would consider booking again.
Adrift had all our requirements for our stay plus added bonus of local rabbit visiting the back yard and possums at night. Our little Jackie Gracie loved it and the daily runs on the "off the leash" beach.
Location was fine and good I could take my dogs. House needs a thorough clean and yard needs a lot of attention- couldn’t let dogs roam because too many places for snakes this time of year.
Great secure property for my beloved fur baby,located beside a beautiful beach. Property equipped with everything you could ask for. Definitely return. Home away from home
Our accommodation was comfortable and quiet and had everything we needed. The pups had a fun time in the backyard, but it could do with some love.
Thank you
house is charming. Close to everything, loved the penguins, walks, caves, nobbies, woolamai, Churchill. Was all fantastic & we had great weather to top it off! Owner also sent message byo let us know of whale sightings & we spotted one that evening as we walked along Ventnor beach! Would highly recommend staying at adrift, very comfortable, good heating for winter, great yard for dogs. Everything provided in the house. Loved it!!
