There’s a softness to this home - a feeling that everything has been placed with intention, creating a space that’s calming from the moment you arrive. Designed for that memorable getaway.
~ The Location ~
You’re in one of the most treasured corners of the Fleurieu Peninsula - a region overflowing with big skies, fresh produce, world-class wine, wild coastline and that earthy, grounding energy the Fleurieu is loved for.
Aldinga Beach
Just a few houses away. Calm tides, wide shores, pastel sunsets - the kind of beach that becomes part of your daily rhythm.
The Esplanade
Turn left for a gorgeous and easy clifftop walk toward Pearl Restaurant.
Turn right past Breeze Café, following the curve of the coast all the way to the iconic Star of Greece and the golden cliffs of Port Willunga.
McLaren Vale Wine Region
Only minutes from Tide - rolling vineyards, olive groves, cellar doors, long lunches and boutique winemakers waiting to be discovered. Whether you’re after a well-known winery or a tiny family-run gem down a gravel road, you’ll find it here.
Willunga Farmers Market
A Saturday morning essential. Fresh pastries, seasonal produce, flowers, honey, cheeses, hand-made treats - a colourful, community-filled gathering that feels like the heartbeat of the region.
Aldinga Conservation Park
Just around the corner - coastal scrub, bird calls, kangaroos and (if you’re lucky) an echidna or two.
Everything about this pocket of the Fleurieu invites you to slow down and savour.
~ The Story ~
`Tide` is a beautiful brand new build, but its foundations are rich with family history.
It sits beside the family’s original beach shack - a place overflowing with decades of summer holidays, sandy feet, shared meals, laughter and the kind of memories that mould who you are. Tide now stands where the backyard once was, carrying that same sense of nostalgia and soul into a fresh, modern space.
The home was built with intention - a contemporary escape, deeply rooted in warmth, connection and the simple joy of being near the sea and being `together`.
~ Who Tide is perfect for ~
Couples seeking a peaceful, stylish retreat
Friends who love equal comfort (three kings = harmony restored)
Families (especially with teens who want space and ease)
City escapers craving coastline, good food and unhurried days
Anyone who adores thoughtful design and soulful coastal living

Aldinga Beach is one of South Australia’s most loved coastal gems — a place where days move a little slower and life revolves around sun, sea and simple pleasures. With its wide sandy shoreline, iconic coastal cliffs and breathtaking sunsets, it offers the perfect balance of relaxed beach living and easy access to world-class food, wine and nature.
Wake to salty air and the sound of waves, spend mornings walking the Esplanade or swimming in the calm, clear waters, and enjoy long afternoons exploring the region. The beach is famously drive-on, making it ideal for families, fishing enthusiasts and sunset picnics straight from the boot of the car.
Just minutes inland lies the heart of McLaren Vale wine country, home to celebrated cellar doors, family-friendly wineries, local breweries and some of South Australia’s best dining. Whether you’re sipping Shiraz at a boutique vineyard, browsing the Willunga Farmers Market, or enjoying a long lunch at a coastal restaurant, everything feels effortlessly close.
Aldinga Beach is also wonderfully family-friendly, with playgrounds, bike paths, coastal trails and plenty of space to roam. For nature lovers, nearby conservation parks and cliff-top walks offer stunning views and a sense of escape, while surfers, swimmers and paddle-boarders are drawn to the ever-changing coastline.
