This award winning, authentic 19th-century guesthouse combines modern comfort with the opportunity to experience generous, comfortable and peaceful hospitality.
Trafalgar House is situated within the historic precinct of Port Elliot, just a three-minute walk from the beautiful and safe Horseshoe Bay or the surf at Boomer Beach. Close to the renowned Flying Fish and Stranded restaurants, and with hotels, tennis courts, and bowling greens within easy walking distance. A clifftop walk, and bicycle trails are adjacent to the property. Trafalgar House is in the perfect holiday position for the wine, water and wildlife attractions of the Fleurieu Peninsula. An excellent stopover for a visit to Kangaroo Island, but try to stay two days to enjoy the beautiful coastline and nearby attractions.
The bluestone slate Victorian villa was extensively and faithfully restored in the mid-1990s with rich Victorian paint colours, tasteful wallpaper borders, original Baltic pine floors and doors, high ceilings with central ceiling roses, some match wood ceilings and stained glass. Antique furnishings and trinkets complete the experience.
