Family-friendly vacation rentals in Encounter Bay

We had a wonderful time at this really special place. Having the aldinga scrub across the road with daily visits from the kangaroos was lovely. So much to do and very close to Aldinga Beach. Two nights was not enough. Thanks for having us.

Beautiful place to stay, plenty of things for our girls to do. Would be great to return with our friends and their children as the place was big enough. Could have easily spent a whole week here. Peter was a fantastic host and gave us excellent instructions and local suggestions. We will be back

We had a great stay. The area is beautiful to explore and the views are great. Beach access is so close to the accommodation. We will book again.

Great accommodation in a beautiful historic town, town walkable. Excellent location for visiting hahndorf, mount barker, langhorne creek, goolwa and more. Host provided generous breakfast provisions for our stay.

Great location, easy walk to the beach, port elliot and victor. quiet street with view of the hillside good kitchen with everything you need very relaxing time away

Neil was a great host. We loved staying at the cottage. The cottage had beautiful original features with modern conveniences. We loved the spa bath. The location was great and centrally located in Willinga and walking distance to local shops and cafes.

Lovely character cottage set in beautiful grounds. Our dog was settled here. Heather meeting us and showing us around on arrival, plus the provisions left, were nice touches. It was good to be able to walk our dog (on the lead) in the gardens. Enjoyed being close to the town centre and historic High Street. Graham’s local knowledge was very useful.

Loved this cottage - was homely, clean and pretty. We especially liked the space (well utilised for a couple or a family) and location. It has a nice energy to it and well positioned for easy walking to the Wharf and main street for food, drinks and shopping. Bed was comfy, the kitchen was light and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bonus bottle of red wine was appreciated, and we used the Simpsons arcade game upstairs. Would be great for a multi generational stay for kids and parents. Internet is a bit patchy in the area, but that's just something to take into consideration. There are a few tv's to use which are smart hubs, so you can stream movies if you need to. Would happily stay again, hopefully next time for a longer period of time. The local thai restaurant on the main street was delicious, and there are lots of pubs and cafes to cater for all tastes. Communication with hosts was friendly but not intrusive. Highly recommend this property.

Thanks so much for a wonderful relaxing stay in your beautiful cottage. So full of charming character & close to all of the facilities of the town. We will highly recommend you!

This accommodation was recommended to us to stay at and we in turn would recommend it to others. We loved our stay. Lovey clean spacious rooms with comfortable furniture. With added bonus.. a lovely BBQ area and outside garden to enjoy. plus a very attentive host.

Only at Marianne's for 2 nights. Was perfect for what we needed. It is on the lower floor of a 2 storey home. Mariannes instructions on how to get there and what to do with lockbox, parking was spot on. Shower had great pressure, wifi easy to access. Didn't use pillows as we take our own. Easy walk to beach with stairs to go down. Close to restaurants and supermarkets. When you are there go to Pitstop Italian Truck up the road. Delicious pasta. Loved that just up the road we could drive our car onto the beach. Only issue I had, and it's my problem not Mariannes was that I unlocked the windows to open them, love fresh air, and when I went to lock them again I found it a bit tricky to do. Lucky I have a handy husband and he worked it out. Also the fridge is in the lounge, not that that's an issue but found that a strange. Overall, great experience, would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay in Samantha’s property. It was clean, tastefully decorated, comfy bed, in a great location and was just a unique and interesting place to stay.

Lovely little beach house. Mel was always so responsive to messages. House had a number of little extras. Ocean was in view from out the front and so close to all the hotels, cafes and restaurants of Victor Harbour.

Had a lively stay at the Bungala Beach House. Host Vanessa was fantastic, and very helpful with clear instructions and great local recommendations. Would definitely stay again.

can't wait to come back. we had a great stay, 6 adults and 2 dogs. so very dog friendly but at the same time, luxurious for us humans.

Perfect home away from home. The moment we walked in the door, we knew we could relax and enjoy our stay. The beautiful aroma, immaculately clean surroundings and tasteful hand picked decor welcomed us warmly. I was travelling with my 87 year old mother who had lived in the area 10 years prior. This was a pilgrimage, a fondly remembered life. This trip was important. To arrive at a ‘home’ where our wonderful host had tastefully catered for my mums age (appropriate railing and level floors), left chocolates, notes, dvds, an easy to use BBQ, washing machine, dryer, etc. was just above and beyond. Even if the weather had trapped us indoors, Stephanie’s home would have been a delight to be sequestered in. Outstanding. Quiet and very peaceful. We both slept very well. Cleanliness, aroma and lovingly decorated accommodation on holiday are extremely important to me. They must be of the standard of my own home or why bother wasting money. Stephanie’s house ticked all those boxes. Thank you.

Great location. Plenty to keep the kids occupied with quick walk to the beach, playground and pool! We had a fantastic weekend!

had the best time. loved waking around the property with my little ones. the pool had a Tuscany feel to it. Great place for families.

All as described, well equiped, great check in and out with key lock box, a short walk (5 minutes) to the golf course resort which has a restaurant. Perfect for our golf weekend.

The penthouse apartment was spacious and in a great location. Parking, lift access and the amenities were all excellent. The main bedroom is huge and would benefit from a queen size bed for comfort given the room is so large. The huge lounge allowed us to spread out as a family and the kitchen was well equipped with lots of crockery for a family staying. We were only staying for a couple of days but if we were staying longer we'd have appreciated WIFI for our stay. The games, puzzles and DVDs kept us entertained. The location is amazing.

My girlfriend's and I stayed for the weekend and had the best time! It was better than the photo's and had everything we needed and more! The games room and the pool being a big stand out! Loved our stay!

Great location for us golfers. Good house layout for us. Plenty of books, pool table and table tennis board. Didn't spend a lot of time there because we had the Australian Senior Golf Tounament, but it was good to sit on the balcony and admire the view.

Lovely home and our family had a wonderful time and great use of the pool. I’m already thinking of when we can return. Paul is a great communicator and very welcoming.

Lovey stay in a great location! Very comfortable place, clean & tidy and we especially loved the massage chair! Would recommend!
