It can be a worthwhile and interesting exercise to read the candid comments written in the visitors’ books at hotels, museums and other tourist facilities. At Summerville by the Sea, at beautiful Sellicks Beach, guests have been unanimous in their praise. “Idyllic. Poem in perfection”, is the comment of a lady from Lincoln, in the UK. Almost every entry in the book visitors book features words like serene, fantastic, exceptional, gorgeous, and peaceful.

Summerville comprises 2 self-contained cottages, each with a 4 ½ star rating, plus the residence of the proprietor. The two cottages, ‘Stables’ and ‘Dunes’ each sleep four, and have been tastefully decorated in bright ‘beachy’ colours, and equipped with a complete range of modern appliances. Foldaway beds can also be supplied if required.

The deceptively spacious cottages, with their delightful rustic charm, are only ½ minute from the beach, via a private lane. Sellicks Beach is part of the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula coastline, and is an ideal place for children to enjoy the clean sand and safe swimming conditions.

There is so much to see and do on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Kilometres of magnificent coastline, scores of wineries, restaurants, safe swimming beaches, walking trails, plus an almost endless variety of water sports, fishing and boating. If this sounds far too energetic, you may prefer to indulge in a glass or two of local red, while you watch the sun sink into the waters of Gulf of St Vincent in a blaze of colour.

Guests in each of the cottages receive a complimentary bottle of local wine, Medlows chocolates and a bowl of fruit on arrival. Generous hot & cold breakfast provisions are included in the tariff. The fully equipped laundry is available for guests, and comprises an automatic washer, dryer, and ironing facilities. Secure undercover car parking is provided. A private courtyard between the cottages is furnished with a barbeque and comfortable outdoor setting, making it an ideal place for relaxing and entertaining.

Sellicks Beach is only a short drive from the acclaimed wineries and cellar doors of the Southern Vales, the historic former whaling town of Victor Harbor, the Kangaroo Island ferry terminal at Cape Jervis and much, much more.

Now is the perfect time for your luxury experience at Summerville by the Sea. It will be a memorable experience. Guaranteed! For further details regarding Summerville by the Sea, contact Dee.
