House vacation rentals in Encounter Bay

We had a lovely weekend stay at this beautiful property. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. My daughters and I felt right at home, and even our dog, Loki, had the best time exploring the yard and soaking up the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect spot to unwind and spend some quality time together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a family- and pet-friendly getaway!

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.

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.

My freinds and I loved the stay, we would love to come back . The house was clean and had everything we needed .

My friends and I had a great time staying at Las Viñas. Paula was a great host, the house was easy to find, easy to get into, and beautifully clean when we arrived. Plenty of space for a large family, or for multiple adults. Walkable to town, and to some of the best wineries Australia has to offer. It was a great few days, and we will be back!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home—it was the perfect Easter getaway for our family. The house itself is stunning, with breathtaking sea views that we enjoyed even during the wild, rainy weather. It was incredibly cozy, and we felt right at home. We shared a memorable Easter lunch overlooking the ocean, and to our kids' delight, the Easter Bunny even managed to find us! Between beach walks, relaxing indoors, and venturing out to the fantastic local coffee spots, we made the most of every moment. The Aldinga Surf Club is always a favourite of ours, and the nearby Willunga Farmers Market provided excellent fresh produce and meats as always—we’re long-time supporters and know it well. Everything about the stay was so relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you for providing such a beautiful space—it made our family holiday really special. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great Easter getaway at Sarah's place. Great for a group getaway, a lot of time spent in the pool and spa! Easy to access the beach and a delish meal at The Victory nearby. Kitchen / the house had everything we needed.

What can I say, the minute we walked in we felt a wave of relaxation come over us. The property is situated in a beautiful part of South Australia, surrounded by farms and rolling hills, while being 20mins to the coast. The house sits on a slight hill allowing for views across farmland and beyond, while also providing spectacular sunrises. The house was huge, and very clean, with lots of room for our family to spread out and chill without being in each other’s way. The heated pool was also a big hit with everyone, especially the kids. It has everything you need to unwind and just enjoy. Mario was a fantastic host and was very accommodating to our needs, ensuring we had everything to make this stay 5 stars.

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.

Was an excellent stay and the house was lovely. The interior design is cosy and has multiple places to sit and spread out if needed. The TV is big and great for movies and the kitchen is easy to use. I highly recommend this place to anyone staying as a couple all the way up to a big group as there are multiple bedrooms but feels cosy regardless. The weather turned quite terrible but the house was lovely to stay out so the weekend was an excellent retreat. Thank you Kate as well for being proactive when there was bad weather and all the little extra treats things around the house really made it feel special. Will stay here again soon!

We stayed here with 9 family members and had the best time. We all agreed it is the best Airbnb we have stayed at. From the attention to detail, games provided, linen, welcome gifts and location/view. We will be back!

Karena’s place is amazing. The beach views are beautiful and complemented by the stunning design features of the house. The bedrooms are comfortable and the house is stocked with everything you need. Karena is a lovely host. Highly recommend this house for a luxury beach stay close to Adelaide!

Great accommodation in a great location. Walkable to the beach and swimming lake as well as pizza restaurant and corner store. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. We would recommend.

What a fabulous (and cosy) beach shack! Absolutely loved our few days here over the recent Easter weekend, bonus points for the spacious backyard where our 2 year old got to hunt for eggs 🥰 Thanks for letting us stay, Marie

It's a wonderful, clean, two story house, very comfortable, bright, lovely décor, very well equipped kitchen, spacious 4 bedrooms with a nice linen; great location- walking distances to the beach, Bluff and playgrounds. Very peaceful to sit on the balcony and watch the lake or relax on comfortable outdoor beds on the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights with our friends in this house and recommend to anyone who would like to stay in Encouter Bay.

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.

We had a fantastic holiday at Surfrider Lodge, regardless of it being during winter there was still so much to do and to keep ourselves busy with. We loved the beautiful warm spa that even on the cold evenings was so warm, comfortable and relaxing. The games room provides so much entertainment and fun family times for everyone. My son loved the outdoor swing and trampoline, he spent time outside enjoying these every day we were there. The house was well equipped and everything we needed was supplied. Kylie was a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful with anything we needed. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking Surfrider Lodge, we loved our time here and look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful little cottage set up perfectly for our long weekend getaway. Walked over to the neighbours cellar door at shadow creek and had a beautiful wine tasting then back home to our Cosy fire 🔥 Definitely will stay again

Loved a the morning coffee and afternoon wine on the back deck with the views over the nearby hillside. Lovely walks along the nearby beachside too. Great place to explore the region from.

An absolute gem of a place! Our family young and old (and our dogs) had a fabulous weekend at Christine’s. The home is beautiful and very comfortable it has everything you need and more!

Really nice place to stay, Mitch was a very good host, perfect location in victor harbour on a quiet street.

Great location and wonderful accommodation. Second time staying. Will stay again.

We had a beautiful stay at peachy beachy over the June long weekend, the house is as described, has everything you need, beds are comfortable and the space functions perfectly. We had a very wet and wintry stay but with the fire, games, comfy couches and coffee machine we felt very catered for. We even had a go at the pizza oven which made great pizza! Table tennis was a hit with the kids and the bathtub was very luxurious. Jade was very easy to communicate with and even offered an early check in without request. Thanks for a lovely stay, would stay again! Xx

This is our second stay at coastal vibes. This would have to be one of the best stays .Definitely recommend. Lynda & Steve are great hosts, every little detail is thought of, great amenities & services. The best appliances, comfy beds & linen very well laid out & it feels like a home away from home. This place is amazing & not short of surprises we will definitely be back soon. Thankyou Lynda & Steve
