check the weather before you pack
Marion Bay’s coastal location brings refreshing sea breezes, often making it up to 10 degrees cooler than Adelaide. Be prepared for cooler evenings, even during summer. This makes Marion Bay the perfect escape from the heat, but it’s essential to pack appropriately.
don’t forget to pack layers
Summer days are perfect for swimsuits, sunscreen, and beach towels, but nights call for cosy hoodies or jackets. The temperature shift is noticeable, so packing versatile clothing ensures comfort for all parts of the day.

Our Welcome Letter includes a list of kitchen appliances available to you. Guests often enjoy BBQs, cheese platters paired with Barley Stacks Wines, or dining at the Marion Bay Tavern. If you’re dining out, especially during peak season, be sure to make reservations early.
