Yondah Beach House, Yorke Peninsula

What we love….

Set on 300 oceanfront acres on southern Yorke Peninsula, with private sandy beaches, dramatic clifftop walks and panoramic seaviews to Kangaroo Island, Yondah Beach House is a gorgeous architect-designed beach house in an unbelievable location.

Tell me more…

Spacious and airy, the main living areas of Yondah Beach House feature 4 metre curved ceilings and ‘glass wall’ windows overlooking the sea. French doors open out on to three separate decks, all cleverly sheltered under the main roof canopy so you can relax outside and enjoy the ever-changing views even when it’s raining.

At night a carpet of stars spreads all the way from one horizon to the other. Watch for comets and meteorites, and experience starlight so bright you’ll cast a shadow. Without city lights nearby you’ll even see the stunning Magellanic Clouds, two of our closest neighbouring galaxies, along with the dusty spirals of the Milky Way.
