Family-friendly holiday rentals in Encounter Bay

Absolutely gorgeous, homely stay. We had the best time and can’t wait to stay again. The spa was a gem!

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

Thanks Megan, I had a nice relaxing couple of days at your place, its very close to the sea and a great place to explore the southern coast, I really enjoyed the spa, thanks

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.

Historic cottage perfect for a weekend away. The continental breakfast provisions meant not having to buy basics which was super handy. Loved the location and local restaurants.

Beautifully clean house, gorgeous view and in a top location! Lovely grass area at the back of the house. Generous array of supplies in the house. We had a great stay!

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.

We had a really lovely stay at Craig and Karen’s place. The wonderful welcome treats they provided were so enjoyed and appreciated. The upstairs part of the house was everything - we enjoyed ocean views and meals on the balcony. Great place to relax and unwind. I recommend it!

Our party of five adults had a relaxing and comfortable stay. House was spacious, clean and well equipped in a quiet location. I usually take extra tea towels, paper towels etc but I didn’t need to as Eleonora ensured we had everything we needed and more. The complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful and very much appreciated extra! Eleonora is a friendly and responsive host and I would highly recommend a stay at her holiday house. We will definitely be back.

Great spot to stay. As advertised it had plenty of room for our family of 6. Such a cracking area to stay. Less than 20 minutes walk to the beach.

Stayed for Easter, enjoyed our stay, very relaxing, enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Our dog enjoyed the yard.

Lovely accommodation with everything needed when travelling with kids and pets. Stephanie (host) was super accommodating with checkin/check out and had even left a lovely little Easter gift for our daughter. House was spotless and super spacious! Huge spa bath and comfy beds!! Would highly recommend this location and our family will definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying here as my kids loved the backyard and we love the peace and quiet. While still only being 5 minutes away from the main town. Very close to the river for walks and fishing. Everything you need is in the house and we love the little special touches around the home that makes it unique. We will be back. Bianca and Family x

We loved staying at the Retro House. We were in the area to visit McLaren Vale. Retro House was only 15 minutes away and was easy to arrange an uber. The house has everything you need and spacious. Lounge room recliners are really comfortable. We loved playing the cds and watching movies from the dvd collection while hanging out. The beds are so comfortable. We talked about this every morning! We loved the location, so close to the beach. We were lucky enough to enjoy eating out at Star of Greece and The Little Rickshaw. Both incredible. Bakery in Aldinga also yum.

The hosts were amazing and the house had lots of kids activities to keep them occupied. we loved spending time in the kayaks that was provided by the host.

We had a quiet and comfortable night. The host was very warm and polite! The room was beautifully designed and very cozy. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We’d love to come back if we have the chance.

Very close to the pool and beach. Warren was an attentive host. Highly recommend for a few days away.

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.

We were delighted! Such a great place to say with wonderful views. Our puppy Ollie loved his stay too!

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.

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.

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!

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.
