House vacation rentals in Encounter Bay

Our stay at Port Parade was a wonderful family getaway to Port Willunga! The modern, well appointed house had everything we needed, including a pool that kept our 5-year-old splashing happily! Just a short walk from Port Willunga’s stunning beach, we loved exploring the shore and nearby cafes with ease. The host was friendly and quick to respond. The whole experience made our stay enjoyable and very relaxing. Thank you, Jessica!

Many thanks Nick for an exceptional place to relax for a few days. The house, pool and yard were all in excellent condition. The place was the perfect size for the six of us. Excellent communication too.

A beautifully appointed property. Privacy amongst the vines. Was wonderful and was an awesome venue for a small wedding reception, as discussed with the hosts. Monica was extremely helpful and super responsive. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quality place to stay in the McLaren Vale area

Thanks Elle, we had a great stay. The property is exactly as described, very comfortable and thoughtfully styled. The location is fantastic and the views amazing. Highly recommend.

Great location, we loved watching the storm roll in from the large balcony, What a view! Well equiped, everything we needed was provided. Including shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash. Enough space for our whole family to get ready as we had a family wedding to attend, without feeling on top of each other. Welcome bottle of wine, a lovely surprise.

We were blown away by the location, south shores resort is incredible and impeccable as is Narelle’s property. Absolute flawless property, styling was spot on, everything so clean and functional and Narelle was such an excellent host, prompt, thorough and super helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our kid free week end with friends. We will definitely be back next year.

We loved our stay at Paula’s place :) we stayed with family, including kids, and had everything we needed. The house, garden and pool were lovely. Great quality linen and comfy beds. The location was perfect, not far from the centre and walkable to a number of wineries (and a very short drive to everything else). Paula was extremely responsive and helpful. We’d love to stay again next time we visit South Australia!

beautiful place to stay. highly recommend. gorgeous views of the beach ⛱️

Great accommodation for 6 people! Great location, walking distance to lake and short drive to beaches. Good ammenities and perfect house to relax in, play games, watch movies and chill :)

Fantastic house, great amenities and incredible location and view. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here!!

What a perfect place to escape and spend some time with the family. Beautiful place with everything you need. Want to get the kids off their devices? Spend a few days playing tennis, basketball, pool and table tennis; a sporting precinct under the one roof! The house was spotless and so comfortable. We felt instantly at peace and excited to dive into the fun. It has everything you need and more. We will be back!

Great place and very quiet neighbourhood. Great hot shower after a long day outside. Walkable distance to the beach. Had a great time exploring the areas and also Victor's Harbour. It makes a good base to venture out and return to a cosy home after a day's adventure.

Great place to stay, loved the quiet and peaceful back yard and verandah as well as the proximity to the beach and shops. Leeanne was great to communicate with, the property is warm and cosy. My only regret is not booking for longer as the weather was glorious and beach was lovely. I'd definitely stay again 🙂🌊🌞🏖️

A beautiful space that our family enjoyed, particularly sitting under the beautiful fig tree. Couldn’t rate Simone’s home higher!

A stunning home in a perfect location! Stunning views! Great to have tennis and table tennis for the kids! Hosts were so helpful and responsive. Very comfy beds (big beds as well) and big, well equipped kitchen. Would absolutely recommend and would love to stay again! Thank you Zac and family for an amazing holiday!

Perfect beachfront location. Spacious home. Ideal for a family get away. We enjoyed the board games available and appreciated the boogie boards, meaning we didn’t need to pack our own. Loved the beautiful views from the house and being able to hear the ocean.

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.

Can highly recommend, Andrew and Heather were amazing hosts who went over and above in every aspect of travelling away from your home. Their home is so beautiful and stunningly located on the Golf course. Morning and evenings were spent on the deck listening and watching the birds along with golf enthusiasts hitting the ball. So peaceful and relaxing. It had everything imaginable and a well stocked pantry if required. Beds extremely comfortable with beautiful linen. We enjoyed a walk to Bombora Cafe for lunch and continued onto the Distillery and Cafe at Gallery. A perfect day out and a gentle walk in and back along the water. A 5m walk each morning to the beautiful Goolwa Beach, Cafe and Surf Club. Safe to say we all wanted to move in, we will be back ☺️

Great place and well provisioned. Homely and comfortable with a great kitchen. Suzanna was very responsive when help was required. The place is perfectly positioned to explore the McLaren Vale wine region.

We had the most wonderful stay at Kim's. Everything was perfect. The house is well appointed and has everything needed to cook, sit around, play and enjoy ourselves. Great beach right across the road and being at the end of that section of Esplanade meant the car traffic was minimal

Molly was highly accomodating, and presented the place beautifully. Lightning fast replies, and some great complimentary activities and items. Thanks Molly 🙏

Spacious house right near the beach with a great outdoor area and living space. It was clean and tidy and was perfect for a large group

Lovely well presented house. Great welcome pack.Would book again.

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.
