Middleton Accommodation South Australia

The Shack at Middleton

Accommodation by Middleton Beach

Chill. Curl up with a book by the fire. Spend long summer nights relaxing with friends in the yard. Hear the waves roar. Grab your surf board. Banter by the fire pit. That’s life at the Middleton Shack.

Located little more than 100 metres from one of South Australia’s best surf beaches, the shack, while provided to our guests as an entire property, has two separate sleeping and entertaining/living areas: the Shack and the Bunkhouse. Accommodating up to 12 people (linen provided), this provides you with so many options: enjoy a romantic getaway, bring the kids (but put them in the bunkhouse), bring the grandparents, bring the dog, bring your besties, bring whoever you like!

The Shack

The Shack is everything you think of when you think old school surf getaway. It has two bedrooms, a master bedroom with a Queen bed, sleeping two, and a second bedroom sleeping four with a triple bunk (double on bottom/ single on top) and a single trundle (provide own linen for the trundle). The Shack also has a functional kitchen with electric cooker and microwave, and a beautiful wood burning combustion heater to keep you cosy with a glass of red on winter nights.

The Bunkhouse

The Bunkhouse is a newly renovated space on the same block. It includes a large open plan lounge for entertaining, an outdoor dining area and a bunk room which sleeps up to six: four in two sets of bunk beds and two on the double Koala sofa bed (provide own linen for the sofa bed). The Bunkhouse opens up the unique possibility of having two families, or the grandparents, or the babysitters, or whoever you want, stay in a separate property, but still only metres away from the main shack!

Middleton

Middleton is one of South Australia’s best known and most consistent surf beaches. Waves roll in constantly from the Southern Ocean and there’s a host of pop up surf schools along the coast just waiting to teach you new skills. Middleton itself is coastal village with cafes, shops, a must-visit surf store and an old fashioned Tavern providing great pub food staples.

Middleton Holiday Rental with two great spaces

One holiday rental, two great spaces! The Shack and the Bunkhouse give you masses of space to spread out, bring friends, kick back and enjoy your time away. There’s no product on the Fleurieu Peninsula quite like what we have on offer here. It’s a minute’s walk from one of the best surf beaches in South Australia and importantly it’s got that traditional shack vibe, something that is so hard to find nowadays.

Middleton Beach

Middleton Beach is like no other in South Australia. It provides a range of different surfing experiences, from challenging waves out the back and around the point, to consistent low waves rolling into the shore which are perfect to learn the ropes on. The beach is only 100 metres from the shack, so bring your own board, hire them from one of the nearby shops, book in for lessons at one of the pop-up surf schools, or just forget surfing altogether and take a long walk along the stunning coastline.

Middleton Luxury Accommodation

Perfect in summer, perfect in winter

The Middleton Shack is set up for you to enjoy no matter what the season. The long summer days can be spent at the beach, with nights gathered with friends in the spacious garden areas. While in winter the vibe is all about being warm, cosy and relaxed. Whether it’s the wood burning combustion heater in the main Shack, or the fire pit in the garden, you’re sure to have an amazing experience.

Explore the Fleurieu Peninsula

The Fleurieu Peninsula is one of South Australia’s most diverse, accessible and exciting regions. You’re on the peninsula within an hour’s drive from the centre of Adelaide, yet you’re immediately a world away from the city. There’s a jagged coastline with soaring cliffs, the mouth of the mighty River Murray is found off Hindmarsh Island, you can access the world-renowned Coorong wetland, visit a multitude of national parks, spot unique species of wildlife, enjoy wide open beaches, explore cute towns with artisan shops, and get around some of the best wineries in South Australia.

Middleton attractions

Middleton sits amongst a cluster of coastal towns along the south of the Fleurieu Peninsula, each with its own unique character. There’s Middleton itself with its surf beach, cafes, surf stores and bakery, with Goolwa a few kilometres to the east and Port Elliot about the same distance in the other direction. Both towns have art galleries, book shops, cafes, restaurants, walking and cycling trails, and a must-visit bakeries. Travel further west and you hit Victor Harbor, with its horse drawn carriage to Granite Island, the Bluff which presents incredible coastal views if you’re up for the hike, and the cockle steam train which links all these towns together.

Fleurieu Peninsula Food & Wine

You cannot visit the Fleurieu Peninsula without indulging in some of the world’s best food and wine experiences (no exaggeration!). Famed for its clean, green natural environment, relatively high rainfall and diverse landscape where the hills meet the sea, it is the ideal place to produce a smorgasbord of food and wine. There’s quirky coffee spots, places to enjoy long lunches, and countless cellar door experiences where you can meet wine producers and learn about their craft (while tasting their products of course!)

Think about checking out

Pipis at Middleton, the Flying Fish Cafe Restaurant, De Groot coffee, Alexandrina Cheese at Mount Jagged, one of the vineyards at Currency Creek or McLaren Vale, and if you’re up for driving a little bit further, head to Anvers and Kangarilla Road, two completely different, but brilliant cellar doors.

Fleurieu Peninsula outdoor activities

If you’re into fresh air, wide open spaces and places to immerse yourself in nature, the Middleton Shack is your perfect basecamp. From the beaches on your doorstep, to some of the nation’s most spectacular national parks, nature is everywhere. The Heysen Trail runs along the coast to the west of Victor Harbor from its start or end point at Cape Jervis, Granite Island Recreation Park sits just off the Victor Harbor, while you can cycle along the coast via the Encounter Way shared use trail.
