Thank you for your review. We're glad that you had a fantastic stay at our property. We look forward to hosting you again in the future
Had a lovely stay at this property. Even though it rainned we stayed there and watched the waves and about 8 rainbows. Such a great relaxing time. My husband bought his binoculars along as well. So we could see people come and go at The Bluff
The property was thoughtfully appointed, furnished with everything we needed , comfortable and useable . A good secure yard for the pets and a quiet and serene outlook
The property was clean, well-furnished and had everything we needed for our five-night stay. The several hours spent simply looking out over the calm waters of Encounter Bay - on one occasion seeing dolphins - was pure joy.
