Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Encounter Bay

We travelled with my elderly mum who has limited mobility so having the accessible features in the house (rails in bathroom, ramps from the garden to the back door, minimal steps etc) was great. Unfortunately while we were there, there were some roadworks and lane blocked off with wire mesh between the front of the house and the view to the bluff but the house is beautifully situated and the views back to Granite Island were still fabulous. The hosts were excellent - helpful and quick to reply when we had questions about how a couple of the appliances worked. (If we had one suggestion it would be to provide some print outs / copies of main pages of manuals for the oven, heaters and samsung smart TV all of which had us scratching our old heads at one time or another). Kitchen very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Being so close to the Yilki deli and the pizza place there was also a plus. We would definitely visit again.

Our party of five adults had a relaxing and comfortable stay. House was spacious, clean and well equipped in a quiet location. I usually take extra tea towels, paper towels etc but I didn’t need to as Eleonora ensured we had everything we needed and more. The complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful and very much appreciated extra! Eleonora is a friendly and responsive host and I would highly recommend a stay at her holiday house. We will definitely be back.

we loved the location of this cottage for our weekend stay..it was quaint with every provision one neefs for a getaway and close to all we wanted to do. our hosts were prompt with communication and the cottage is clean and tidy. we would encourage others to stay

The house was incredible - exactly as described. 360 views of vineyards, a beautiful yard with fenced pool that was perfect for our young boys to run around and ride bikes, and very comfortable beds. We did a big cook up one night and the kitchen was well equipped. A large indoor dining table and outdoor dining table, and a large family area with big screen tv and lovely warming fireplace. Aircon throughout. On a cold May night it was very cozy! I would highly recommend this property, we were 7 adults and 2 kids and slept here very comfortably.

We had a great weekend at Jane's lovely cottage. Checkin was a breeze as we just walked in and the key was waiting for us on the kitchen bench. The interior was well designed and spacious with everything we needed for a quiet getaway. The cottage was just a short drive to Stirling and Hahndorf where we strolled through shops and tried their excellent restaurants under the autumn foliage. All in all, we felt like we have just spent a weekend in a friend's house.

My wife and I loved our stay. The house was very unique which featured a lot of character and a perfect quiet location away from the city. Thank you Michael and Sue

Another fabulous stay at Deep Creek Retreat. The warm fire on our arrival was very welcoming and appreciated after travelling in stormy weather. We love to stroll around the beautiful garden with our dog. Thankyou for sharing the rewards of your hard work with us!

Magnificent weekend away with my besties. The spectacular view, the sounds of the ocean and the beautiful weather made this weekend just perfect. Another added bonus was seeing farm animals and kangaroos around the property. We also enjoyed the lovely decorated house and cosy comfort. We took in the views, chilled out, cooked all our own meals and drank SA wine. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had and were kind enough to let us check in a little earlier on the day. Just over an hour drive from the city, this property is a rare gem.

It doesn't get any better. The apartment is beautful and has everything a couple would want for an extended stay. It's a short walk to Maslin beach and very close to the vineyards of Maclaren Vale. Ann Marie was a delightful host with lots of suggestions on good restaurants and places to go. Loved it.

We had a quiet and comfortable night. The host was very warm and polite! The room was beautifully designed and very cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We’d love to come back if we have the chance.

A perfectly located apartment to explore Hahndorf and surrounds. The accommodation was clean and well equipped, spacious and homely. Nelia was very helpful and responsive with any questions I had. I would heartily recommend this property if you’re planning to stay in Hahndorf. Quiet, well placed and still only a short drive to Adelaide (less than 30 mins).

Great location for an Airbnb, right by the sea front -lots of places to eat nearby and easy access to the tram (just use your debit card to tag on when boarding the tram -super easy for us visiting from WA) Everything felt very safe, which was great for us with 3 small kids. Playground & Beach House for kids entertainment within 5-10 min walk. Doughballs restaurant great for kids too! We found Julie’s apartment to be very clean, had everything we needed and more! Thanks for a great stay :)

Excellent location near beach and shops. Great for 2 couples. Very cosy and comfortable. We liked the sun room which is north facing - the windows slide open to let in fresh air.

Thank you, Vicki, for a wonderful stay in Encounter Bay. Your home was the perfect home away from home and the ideal location to walk to and from restaurants, Victor Harbour, and effortless drives to different beaches. We had a lovely weekend! Definitely recommend Vicki's place!!

Beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean. Amazing view and such a beautiful sunset on the balcony. The house is modern, clean and has so much for the family to do together but also the rooms are spaced out enough to get quiet time alone. Had a great time staying at the Salty Seagull.

Well appointed apartment with large rooms. The greatest asset was its proximity to the beach. It was lovely walking along the foreshore. Wendy was very accommodating for our family and made our stay in Adelaide memorable.

This house is amazing!! Beautiful views straight onto the ocean and lots of space in a great house. A short walk down the esplanade to the main part of Glenelg, a perfect location. Chris was a great host who was very accessible when required. Will definitely be back!!

The Retreat was everything as described and more. The bed and couch were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the villa was elegant and modern and the surroundings were so serene. It was the perfect little hideaway in the Adelaide hills for our Easter long weekend escape. The heated pool was used a lot, the windy roads around The Retreat were magnificent to drive on and it was easy to get in and out of the villa. Bridget responded quickly when I had questions and I felt very at home during my stay. It was especially nice to have the fireplace going on our coldest night. Overall, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone who needs a restful holiday.

Lovely area, lots for the kids to do and safe. Close to the beach and a lovely walk along the beach to the Life Saving Club. House was nice but provisions in the kitchen very basic. We had a lovely weekend.

We enjoyed a two-night stay at Cabn over the Easter long-weekend. The cabin is well furnished for guests to be self-sufficient, and the location is private and peaceful, with lots of wildlife (kangaroos, sheep, birds, etc.). However, Cape St Albans has less within driving distance compared to other areas of Kangaroo Island, and for this reason, we recommend only staying two-nights.

Retreet was absolute perfection. The home was beautifully curated and flawlessly executed, every detail felt intentional. A true haven, offering all the comforts with a touch of refined luxury. An unforgettable stay.

We loved our stay - the house was immaculate and every small detail had been considered to make us feel comfortable and welcome. It was a truly memorable weekend. Definitely 5 stars!

Inspiring decor and surroundings. Casa del mar was a gorgeous getaway for my family and I with all the essential amenities. We spent the weekend admiring the interiors, layout and view. There’s lot to do, we played pool, finska, puzzles, went on walks and watched movies at night. We hope to be back again

A wonderful place to stay - easy walkable distance to both the beach and the Main Street for places to eat. Great indoor and outdoor spaces - Anne was a very welcoming and friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend!
