Great location, lovely little old fashion charmed house, beds were amazingly comfortable, deck and backyard was lovely, our only gripe was we had to clean up a lot of others left over mess, it had been left a bit untidy cleanliness wise, but other than that, we had a lovely stay, and would return again to wonderful Encounter Bay-Victor Harbor :)

A very quiet location, super clean and well appointed kitchen. Really enjoyed the stay and the agent was very helpful and easy to deal with and responded quickly to any queries. Recommended.

We loved this home for its fireplace and carpet. We have rated it 5/5 for each category with the exception of accuracy from the online advertisement. It was better than the images projected!!! It was comfortable and warm, the location was perfect for esplanade walks and bike rides and a short walk to delish dinners.

This place, although consisting of an old dwelling is functional and has everything you may need for your upcoming holidays. Great location (close to the shore) and a lovely back deck with a relaxing view.
The interior is somewhat old and the carpet would benefit from removal or replacement and so would the stovetop however these are not deal breakers. The landlords are kind and the check-in check-out process painless. The cost is also affordable for a family of four wishing to spend some time in this beautiful part of SA. I would come back hopefully at a time with kinder weather...

This place has everything you need and the location of the property is perfect.....the open backyard was great....kids from all different holiday rentals came to play cricket in the backyard.
A fantastic, cosy, simple holiday house in an ideal location that worked perfectly for our family. We especially loved the deck and the yard. The owners were lovely and they even left out Christmas treats!

Hi Rohan,
Thank you for your kind review. We look forward to welcoming you back!

We booked for June long weekend the day before staying and the LJ Booker property manager Nana was fantastic. House was exactly as advertised and probably one of the cleanest stayz we've visited. Take your own air fryer and don't worry about no oven.

Hi David,
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back.
Thanks and Regards,
Nana
We chose this property as it was close to where our son & his family were staying - our grandchildren loved visiting so they could play in the lovely garden. Everything we really needed was supplied - maybe a queen size bed would have been nice, but hey the double bed was fine. It was a very pleasant relaxing week. Thank you 😊
The property was clean and tidy. Has everything we needed for a great getaway. The kids loved the garden and proximity to beach and town. An excellent place to stay.
