About Jo Place
We love travelling and especially the beach! We live on a farm in the Adelaide Hills and run cattle and sheep and the normal menagerie of farm pets including dogs, chickens, guinea pigs etc. Whenever we need a break from farm work, we duck down to the shack to reinvigorate ourselves! Whenever we can, we also head overseas to explore countries we have never seen.
Jo Place purchased this House in 2017
Why Jo Place chose Middleton
We love this area of the rugged South Coast surf beaches, and we kept waiting for an untouched shack to come onto the market at Middleton Point. We really wanted to be within walking distance to the beach and also to the cafes and main shopping area. Houses rarely come up for sale in this area, so when Zinc became available, we snapped it up immediately and set to work renovating it to its current standard. We wanted to keep the authentic shack feel, but add a few bits and pieces like an updated bathroom and R/C Air Conditioning.
What makes this House unique
It would have to be the location! To be able to see the sea from the back deck, and hear the crashing waves of the surf and know that it is only a couple of minutes walk away. We also love the huge rear deck we added to the large backyard, which means that although the shack is small, the outdoor living means that a family can stay comfortably.

Wonderful weekend break
We loved our stay at Zinc and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Communication was great with all the check in details provided by Jo a few days beforehand. The cottage is exactly as described and was clean and well fitted out- perfect for our family weekend getaway. The personal touches are what really make it though. It was my birthday on the weekend of the trip as well as being super hot. We arrived to a lovely birthday message on the blackboard in garden, bubbles in the fridge and ice blocks in the freezer to fight the heat. Those little touches are what makes a holiday special so thank you Jo and Peter for a wonderful birthday break. We will be back. 😀
Happy stay @ Zinc ..
What a gorgeous shack .. Zinc had us feeling at home straight away !
We enjoyed our walks to Middleton Point to watch the surfing & strolls on the beach.
Jo was easy to communicate with & helpful on our arrival to the area .
Lovely little place
It’s cuter than in the pictures (we thought!) Huge backyard! Dogs must stay outside so we decided not to bring them along.
We had a lovely overnight stay. Great light place- perfect for families with young kids
We really enjoyed the board games, light colours of the decor and magazines. We took our helmets and enjoyed a bike ride along the encounter bay bike way and walked up to the Middleton Tavern for dinner- all very convenient. All communication very prompt and easy. Thanks for the lovely stopover 😊
Thank you Tammie for your lovely review. We are so pleased you enjoyed yourselves at Zinc. Please visit us again soon.
Kind regards Peter and Jo
Weekend away

Map
Zinc beach shack is located at beautiful Middleton Point, about 150m from Middleton Beach. It is in a scenic coastal area, with access to beautiful walking and bike trails. In the winter, you can walk to the end of the street and sometimes see whales in the bay. In addition to Middleton cafes, it is also a 5 minutes drive to the village of Port Elliot with cafes, pubs, antique shops, lifestyle and fashion shops and its famous bakery. Wineries are a 10-15 minute drive away, if you are keen to taste some local varieties.
