Coorong Cabins

I visited this place for the second time, this week. It was as awesome as I had remembered from my last stay about 18 months ago. Mik is an awesome host, nothing was too much to ask. Stayed in the Pelican cabin. It was so relaxing, that I really didn't want to leave ... will most definitely be back!!!

Mik has created the most incredible retreat with everything one could need for an amazing stay! We spent two days in the beautiful Pelican cabin with four adults and a two-year-old. There is also a smaller cabin on the grounds. The cabin was light, airy, comfortable and spacious! It was the BEST place we visited in all of our Australia trip! Maybe the best beach cabin we have ever seen! Every time we wanted something, it was right there! Mik has done a great job of designing, building and equipping the cabins and grounds with anything you could need on your visit! Books, CDs and DVDs in the cabin for entertainment.in the evening once you have your fill of looking at the stars. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and there was even a loaf of fresh bread with jams and fresh figs that Mik picked for us. We could also pick veggies and herbs in the garden for cooking! There was a variety of food, condiments and drinks along with all of the dishes, pots, pans, and utensils! Besides the kitchen inside, there is a wonderful outside kitchen with a huge grill, counters, and a big table. The cabin has a truly luxurious bathroom and very comfortable bedrooms which have travel crib, folding chairs and hammocks in the closets. The grounds are so spacious and again have something for everyone. The toddler loved the trampoline and there were kayaks, bikes, and other entertainment. He has a bench set up out by the water to watch the sunset. Mik has planted a wonderful natural garden of beautiful native plants which attracts so many birds. As a birder I was out early to capture photos of the singing birds ana saw many I did not see elsewhere. I cannot say enough good things about the Coorong Cabins. Mik did such a great job designing and building this awesome place and he hosts with the same attention to detail so that it feels truly magical. Plan to spend several days here to enjoy! We had two and it was not enough! Mik told us good places to find birds, emus, and kangaroos and we saw them all! The Coorong is a quiet, peaceful place to refresh your soul. There are also two places to eat which serve good food! It is the perfect distance from Adelaide for a weekend and for travelers on the great ocean road!

We had the absolute best time at Coorong Cabins. We stayed in the Wren cabin and it had everything we needed. The owner and host was so generous and he's really created something amazing that you can tell he's proud of. During our welcome tour, we walked past some mulberry bushes that hadn't fruited and mentioned we liked mulberries, the next day he delivered hand picked wild mulberries he'd found for us! Truly above and beyond. The location was beautiful, nestled in between a beautiful native garden we were able to make time for bird watching, bee spotting and reading. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets with a bottle of complimentary wine for company and started off our mornings with great coffee and complimentary freshly baked bread. Our meals were accompanied with spoils from the garden and if the wind was kinder there were kayaks set aside for us to take exploring. There were too many amenities for us to use in our three night stay so we'll have to go back!
