We've just had our third stay at this fine establishment and the service, friendliness, cleanliness and location really do make it a superb holiday /getaway. The more we stay here the more we notice.... like the large screen tv's and excellent picture /signal quality. The linen always smelling and feeling like it was just washed.

we have stayed here a few times. the owners are very helpful and accomodating. units are basic but have everything you need. Position is excellent. lodged in between the caravan park and the beautiful marina. within metres of the beach, nice gardens, and room for the kids to run around. Nice barby area, great for groups or families.

We had a wonderful 4 days at Tumby Bay. Modras Apartment was clean, roomy and nicely situated. The BBQ area was lovely and family friendly. Tumby Bay is one of SA s best kept secrets. Close to Pt Lincoln and a great trip from Wallaroo to Lucky Bay on the ferry.

Clean, well appointed, well stocked, and with efficient staff - Modra's apartments (seaside cabins) are an ideal place to stay for a real beach experience in lovely Tumby Bay. Comfy beds, plenty of nice soft towels... it has everything.
