    Our second time in this beautiful home, it has everything. The sunrise from the main bedroom is just breathtaking. The sun on the windows in the mornings were welcome on a cold morning. We loved our 12 days, so relaxing.

    Excellent location, with a beautiful view of the sea.

    We had a great holiday. Really enjoyed the house. Would have preferred the BBQ on the sea side balcony so that the BBQ’er could have been included in the sunset drinks.

    Amazing Views

    Stayed at this house over the June Long Weekend and absolutely loved it. The views from the front of the house over Encounter Bay were fantastic and there was enough room for the 6 of us to spread out. The teenagers only had to cross the road to go exploring along the beach or up the Bluff.
