Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our experience at Modra's over the past 2 weeks has been fabulous. The new owners went out of their way to accommodate our large family and some additional needs. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Their communication was excellent and they were so easy to work with. The rooms were clean and well appointed with facilities including a washing machine and dryer. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.

We were so grateful to Damian for accommodating us at short notice as we unexpectedly had to travel to Tumby Bay in peak season for a funeral. Damian went out of his way to help us work around family requirements and by having the unit ready early and offering to store our gear and fridge items. The unit was spotless, with a renovated bathroom and everything we needed plus more. It was quite old but very good value for money. We would definitely stay here again.

Have spent 4 nights here and have been very happy with our accommodation. Even though it is school holidays and there are children here, it has been very quiet.

Close to beach and a pleasant 15 minute walk into town along the beach front.

Our 2BR apartment has plenty of room, very clean and provides us with everything we want. The bathroom/laundry is quite big and has been updated. Washing machine and dryer also provided. The large 2 door fridge/freezer was lovely.

The bbq area was also lovely and clean and well set out. Bbq utensils provided.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend Modra's to friends and family.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Had a lovely short getaway at this hidden gem in Tumby Bay. My apartment had been recently renovated and was comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchenette had everything I needed, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room. The apartments are set amongst lovely gardens making it feel like you are the only one here! The hosts, Grant and Yasmin were super friendly and accommodating.
All up, I’d highly recommend a stay at this delightful little spot.

We've just come back from a stay in Tumby Bay over New Year and we had a great time. Modra's is a fantastic little spot, as everyone else has said it's set in beautiful gardens and the undercover parking is such a bonus in the heat. From the first contact re booking Damian Modra couldn't be more helpful and his lovely wife Kristy was equally helpful when we had a couple of questions during our stay.

Practicality wise - the apartment was super clean as promised and after a week there I'm even more impressed as I swear we took half the beach back in our clothing every time we returned there in the evening! There are a washer and dryer (powder available for $1 from reception), toilet rolls, washing up liquid and sachets of coffee there already which is really handy and they'd even put some milk in the fridge for that all important post-roadtrip coffee!

An absolutely stunning (and very safe) beach is a couple of minutes walk from any of the apartments and we walked down that beach to the main village for meals - took about 15 minutes at a saunter.

Tumby Bay itself is very quiet but has all the essentials (including a great takeaway which we visited more times than I'm proud to admit....) and the people are very friendly. The only place I wasn't too impressed with was the Tumby Bay Hotel which boasts of a 'beer garden with play equipment for the children' but just has a patch of grass at the back with some bits of play things that haven't been put together at all, let alone safely. The food was disappointing too, but that could be because we're spoiled by the wonderful food available everywhere else in SA.

The IGA is well stocked and near enough for any bits you've forgotten and the bakery does an amazing loaf and opens early (we went at 7am and it was open).

Damian pointed us towards a very remote and stunning beach for one of our day trips and I've no doubt he could give you tips and hints for pretty much anything you might want to do while you're there.

Port Lincoln is an easy 45 minutes drive and you can do the sea lion swim (we went with Adventure Bay Charters and they were excellent - next review I'm writing in fact) or shark dive there if you're feeling brave. There are a couple of wineries and the excellent Glen Forest wildlife park plus a wider choice of restaurants and shops if you're feeling the need.

I would recommend Modra's to anyone looking for a place to reconnect with family and just have a wonderfully relaxed holiday in a friendly and beautiful spot. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed in a studio apartment, parked the car right at the front door under cover, so easy to unload. The staff were very friendly and helpful as we didn't have a booking and they luckily had a vacant room, this was serendipity. The room had a queen and a single bed, a fair size kitchen with dining table and kitchen bench and a two seater sofa. The bathroom is massive with lots of hanging space and hooks, it also has a washing machine and dryer and looks newly renovated. This is the biggest studio apartment we've stayed in, even though the main room is an older style it is clean and tidy with lots of room to spread out. I was reminded of compulsory family holidays, we loved it and would stay here again.

Damian & Kristy, Norm & Jenny, are amazing hosts at the Modra's Apartments, with nothing too much for them. The units are meticulously clean with amenities that are unbelievable. Imagine having your own clothes washer & tumble dryer & not having to pay extra. The units are superbly equipped & the grounds are almost tropical with a wonderful array of plants. We've stayed here several times & always love it.
