Luxury Accommodation in Port Lincoln for Charming Weekend Escape

South Australia is magical in many ways, but one of the most exciting aspects of living in the southern state is the diverse experiences available on your doorstep. Australia's seafood capital, Port Lincoln, is a popular holiday destination for many, thanks to its famous oysters, local wines, adrenalin-filled shark diving, and endless picturesque walks. But where do you stay to enjoy a fine holiday in this coastal haven? 

We've rounded up the best accommodation Port Lincoln has to offer, with everything from secluded, made for two retreats to expansive homes best suited to a fun friends or family getaway. 

For Rustic Resort-Style Chic, Head to House 22

House 22 is a Queensland inspired home, a super chic Port Lincoln stay that's perfect for a relaxed weekend getaway. Unlike most luxury accommodation in Port Lincoln being beachfront or nestled between neighbours, this unique property is tucked up and away for privacy on 5 acres of land, just 7 minutes from the main town. The ocean views are spectacular, and 200 metres away from the coastal walk into town. Wake up in this spacious, light and airy resort-like retreat to the sounds of nature, while watching the sunrise over water.

House 22 is perfect for a couple wanting seclusion, or for a small group of friends or family wishing to sit back and soak in ocean views from either one of the timber decks, sit by a bon-fire on a chilly night, or simply sit in the sun on the manicured lawn.

There's a veggie patch in the garden, and chooks to supply fresh eggs; plus loaded lemon and lime trees to ensure you'll prepare delicious meals morning through night. You'll never want to leave!
