About this property
Red Door Cottage—Heritage Warmth by the Sea
The cottage unfolds with a welcoming ambience, its bright red door and white picket fence setting a cheerful first impression. Inside, the living area is designed for unwinding, with generous seating gathered around the original wood-burning fireplace — perfect for movie nights, quiet reading, or lingering conversations after a day by the sea. Sunlight filters through plantation shutters, softening the space and enhancing its relaxed, lived-in charm.
The kitchen blends classic character with modern ease, offering generous bench space and quality appliances that make cooking together effortless. The island naturally draws everyone in for morning coffee or casual bites, while the adjoining dining area, furnished with vintage timber pieces, creates an inviting setting for slow, shared meals. Outdoors, a covered patio provides shaded seating for alfresco dining overlooking the lush lawn. The backyard unfolds in layers of lush greenery, creating a sense of privacy and calm, while the fire pit invites slow evenings spent under the trees. A freestanding outdoor bathtub adds a touch of ritual for soaking beneath open skies after long beach days.
Each bedroom is styled as a restful retreat: a king bed anchors the primary bedroom, a second king room glows with natural light, and a third offers a cosy queen bed. The main bathroom is fresh and contemporary, featuring a walk-in shower and refined finishes, complemented by a separate half bathroom for added convenience. A discreet laundry with a washer and drying rack supports longer stays.
Year-round comfort is assured with central air conditioning and heating, and on-site parking adds effortless practicality. Checkout: 10:00 am No smoking No parties or events

The house is in a great location between beach and village and presented adequately- in that the plumbing and air conditioning worked well. The building was poorly repaired, doors stuck, floors and subsequently some furniture wobbled. Most of the chairs were either musty or frail. Also the bathroom was nicely renovated but the floor was slippery and the diffusers not installed properly. The outside bathroom was delightful but unfortunately in an unkempt garden with a stony patchy grass, including builders offcuts complete with empty coffee cups.
What a delightful place to stay for our visit to Port Elliot.We came with family from overseas, and this very beautiful cottage was enjoyed by all.The outdoor shower proved to be very popular!
Absolutely beautiful cottage in a perfect location. We felt very much at home and comfortable with high quality beds, linens, ducted aircon, modern bathroom/kitchen and well appointed, charming rooms. We found the checkin a little confusing as our written instructions were different to the verbal instructions we received over the phone resulting at one stage in us being unable to re-enter the house after a day trip. Fortunately though, the agent was available and immediately resolved the issue. We'd love to return again for another stay in gorgeous Port Elliot at this delightful cottage. Thank you!
