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.

    Positive:Location, location, location.5min to the beach, 5min to Innes NP, 5min to Marion Bay Tavern & General Store.Negative:90s vibe. Everything, apart from the bathroom, gives you the vibe of an OP shop. The usage is visible, the beds are saggy, there are holes in the walls from door handles etc. The owner probably hasn't been there in years. We had a good time anyways. It was clean, we had everything we needed und the location was super handy!

    The Eyrie was a wonderful place from which to explore this amazing part of South Australia. Loved staying up 'in the trees' and enjoying the view.Our host was accessible, friendly and helpful ... especially when I 'lost' the key to the house. Fortunately this was found again.

    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.

    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.

    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.
