Steeped in history, Encounter Bay was named by Matthew Flinders after his encounter with Nicolas Baudin, both of whom were charting the Australian coastline for their respective countries Britain and France. The encounter between the scientists was peaceful, even though their countries were at war at the time .

Visit The South Coast's pubs and restaurants or sit back on the balcony and relax with a local beer or wine or two. Just one hour from Adelaide, Encounter Bay will make you feel so relaxed you could be a million miles away

We could happily live here!
This house impressed even our teenagers and we all agreed it was a great lay out and had everything we needed and more. Our dog loved it too. Despite the size of the house the 2 split system heaters kept it at a good temperature for our winter escape. It was great to be able to see both Granite Island and the Bluff from the deck and the sunrises were impressive. It was a quick drive to get to the Bluff to see the sunset as well. Having 3 toilets and multiple showers meant getting out the house was quicker in the morning. We also enjoyed the board games, the guitar and the dog themed touches. Thanks for letting us stay.

A lovely quiet area with short walk to the beach and a very short drive to the bluff and restaurants. Lovely views and well appointed accommodation made this a comfortable stay for all, including the pooches.

Cannot Fault Anything!
Beautifully clean, large, dog friendly house. Lovely views. Plenty of room for everyone. We very much appreciated the clean feel of the place and all the human and doggie treats. Everything has been thought of. Only 6 mins to Victor Harbor Central too! Beds comfy and bedding clean and lovely. No mad rules about what we can and cannot do. Our two doggies loved it! We will be back. Thank you :).

Overall the house was lovely. Very well presented. My only disappointment is that the outside bin was filled to overflowing so we couldn’t put our rubbish in it, and had to leave our rubbish in the inside bins. Also there was a broken glass front and centre when I opened the cupboard.

Great Dog Friendly Property
Loved our stay. So nice to be able to have our dogs inside as they don't sleep outside at home. Great views from the property too. Great facilities. Only thing missing are some easy chairs to relax on the balcony instead of the bench seating around the outdoor table. The layout has the main bedroom with ensuite on the top floor with lounge, kitchen and dining room (and extra loo) and the remaining 3 bedrooms on the ground floor. Our dogs loved being able to get out on the balcony and have a good sticky beak around. Had lovely meals at both Hotel Elliot and Whalers, so highly recommend both. Would love to come back again in better weather as the weekend we were there there were huge storms and teeming rain. All still good to watch from the top floor as the windows go right across the front of the house, brilliant!
