If you are traveling to Whyalla to dive with the Giant Australian Cuttlefish, go on a fishing trip or are just passing through you have various accommodation options.

The place most commonly frequented by divers, fishermen, contractors and families is Playford Lodge in Whyalla. This short stay accommodation is the only “4 star” house in Whyalla and has two sides which has been spectacularly renovated. It is properly set up for out of town visitors who are coming to the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It is good value when you have larger groups ($34/head) as they can all stay under the one roof. Refer to www.playfordlodge.com.au (you can book straight online) or send an email to bookings@playfordlodge.com.au

Each Villa at Playford Lodge features a contemporary kitchen equipped with quality appliances, a separate spacious living area with comfortable furnishings, modern bathroom with a shower and a laundry. All linen, crockery and utensils are supplied and this place  houses up to 5 people and a useful feature is that it can accommodate groups of up to 10 people if you rent both sides (flat nightly rate) so if you are in a Diving Club you might want to check it out.
