We had an amazing time at Holiday On Heyward. The views are incredible from both upstairs and downstairs. The house is very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed. Highly recommend
Amazing house with a beautiful sea-view to die for. Great location , well maintained house, felt happy and relaxed. Thank you for providing us with such a great accommodation, has become one of our favourite spots. We created memories by celebrating Mom's 50th birthday.
Group of mature ( mostly!) friends. Room for everyone and never get tired of gazing out at the views. Couldn't get much closer to it too! A bigger bbq would be a bonus for so many but we managed

We were a group of 8 adults and two children under 3, 4 night stay for my 60th birthday celebration. Property was large enough to accommodate all of us in extreme comfort and privacy. I had my family downstairs (4 adults and the children) and friends upstairs and with the 3 bathrooms we all had privacy and solitude when needed. Beds were really comfy and the great secluded parking at the rear of the property easily accommodated 5 vehicles. Sea views from all bedrooms and the main living area which was so nice. Well stocked kitchen (crockery/cutlery) and many items that had been left in the communal pantry which was nice...we left some coffee pods behind as our contribution! Quiet location and safe as at the end of a cul-de-sac. BBQ is small so for our large group we used the stove top and oven as well to cook enough food in one go. Owner (Dina) was really easy to communicate with and very friendly. Easy walk to the beach. Loved our stay.

Amazing location
The actual house lived up to the pictures online and the views were out of this world!
Unfortunately when one of my travel partners arrived there was no key in the lockbox and despite many unsuccessful attempts to contact the owner spent over 3 hours outside in the rain. Luckily we found an insecure window and were able to gain access because we didn't hear back from the owner till 7am the following morning. Turns out they were holidaying in the US so didn't get our many messages till the following day. This is all well and good but they should have had an alternate contact who would actually answer the phone while they were away. If we weren't able to gain entry we would have been left with no accommodation overnight. They were very apologetic but I think the situation was not good enough and could have ended very badly. Turns out the key we found inside was the wrong key anyway.
Aside from that the property is amazing and I wished we could have experienced it without the rain and 70km/hr winds.
Amazing location and views you can't stop looking at.
Lovely setting, plenty of room, well equipped.
Will come again

What a treat! We were extremely impressed with Dina's beautifully appointed home, with 2 large bedrooms and a baby nook, a bathroom with views to die for and a stunning retreat lounge upstairs, 2 more bedrooms and ensuite, downstairs with kitchen and lounge dining area, and separate shower and toilet in the laundry area, this home has it all... Unsurpassed 180 degree sea views, a perfect spot to just sit and watch the everchanging seas and skies or to travel to the various towns and beaches the Fleurieu Peninsula has to offer. The whales were there but ever elusive, however, we did manage a few glimpses each day! We were loathe to leave after our 5 day break, and it wont be long before we head back to Holiday on Hayward, to do it all again... Thanks Dina for providing such a homely comfortable holiday home xxxx
We had a wonderful few days at Buffalot. The house was extremely comfortable and cosy with the most amazing views of the ocean and Granite Island. The house had everything we needed, with lots of space and perfect location
We will definitely be back
again.
