Lovely accommodation

I stayed here with my parents and we all loved it. The house was very clean and spacious. Unbelievable view and we spent hours just sitting on the decking watching the ocean. Saw some dolphins also.

What a lovely place to stay and admire the beautiful views of the ocean.We were all very happy with the house, plenty of room, it is obviously well loved and although we didn't cook any meals there were plenty of pots, pans, platters etc.Have deducted 1 star as not really a fan of linen only provided with a separate charge.Would love to stay again next year

Beautiful home, amazing views

Our second time in this beautiful home, it has everything. The sunrise from the main bedroom is just breathtaking. The sun on the windows in the mornings were welcome on a cold morning. We loved our 12 days, so relaxing.

Excellent location, with a beautiful view of the sea.

We had a great holiday. Really enjoyed the house. Would have preferred the BBQ on the sea side balcony so that the BBQ’er could have been included in the sunset drinks.

Amazing Views

Stayed at this house over the June Long Weekend and absolutely loved it. The views from the front of the house over Encounter Bay were fantastic and there was enough room for the 6 of us to spread out. The teenagers only had to cross the road to go exploring along the beach or up the Bluff.
