We had 2 families stay over the weekend and the house had everything we needed. Lots of things to keep the kids busy, a huge fenced yard, and the outlook to the ocean was beautiful. Would highly recommend this beautiful property
We had such a relaxing time, the view to the ocean is just superb. The house has a homely feel :) We will be looking to stay here again :)
Thank you to the hosts and the cleaning team
We had a wonderful stay, winter had hit and the rain came but we were warm comfortable and played an epic game of Monopoly! Kids enjoyed the table tennis plenty warm beds for all. Thank you
We had a great holiday with our family. The house was clean and tidy and suited our needs. The weather was perfect and the outdoor patio was great - no wind. I think we had every meal outside, including breakfast. I would recommend this accommodation to others. Thank you

Salty’s Pet Stay At Encounter Bay
Beautiful clean well presented property across the Road from Encounter Bay. Great outdoor area. Disappointed that bed was not made up in 3rd Queen size Room and I was forced to sleep in single bunk bed room designed for children not Senior citizens! You will need to bring your own Dog Kennel and dog bowls.
Thank you so much for having us. We had an eventful weekend with children unwell but loved the location and position. Our border collie pup could clear the front fence (slap to face) so had to stay out the back but he didn't work out how to get out from there. Will definitely want to stay again. Loved the adults could watch TV in one room with the children in the other lounge. Would be even better in hot weather, but gorgeous still in cold and rain. Thank you
The location was incredible, helped by amazing weather. Long lazy breakfast on the deck watching the day wake up before heading to Red Hot Summer Concert in the afternoon. The Saturday morning 8am Park Runners made great entertainment and it would be an ideal location to stay if ticking off "V" on your Park Run journey. The house is a modernised old style home, with very large entertaining areas. The ladies sipped wine and watched the sunset while the boys played pool on the billiard table. 3 very comfortable queen bedrooms but our 4th couple drew the short straw (literally) and got the bunk room. New bathrooms were great but we couldn't find the second toilet on the first night. It's in the laundry outside which was fine once we located it. Perfect for 3 couples and some singles or children. We didn't want to leave. Thanks for a fabulous stay.

Thank you Karen for such a lovely and descriptive review. Yes the second toilet is out in the laundry. It was added later after the bathrooms were renovated. Thanks for being such great guests. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.

The two bathrooms were excellent.
The television reception set up was disappointing.
