The unit was excellent for a short stay, thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need (kitchen and bathroom with generous provisions), very clean and neat. The decor is simple and tasteful. Everything is very functional. The deck overlooks a cemetery with only a few gravestones that would be much more attractive in winter than in the record-breaking heat of summer when we stayed.

About the host

Hosted by Jan

Host profile image
I migrated from the UK to Australia in 2004 with my husband and daughter , and we settled in Adelaide and made home the beautiful suburb of Marino.

Why they chose this property

Having visited Victor Harbor for many years, It was more recently after staying at a friends shack that I discovered Encounter bay , and fell in love with the area, so much so we purchased a block of land and built a lovely home.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful setting, close to the beach and Encounter Lakes.
