Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Encounter Bay

We loved everything about our stay at Highlands House, from the heritage charm of the cottage, to the well appointed kitchen, supplied games and the beautiful, secure backyard, which was a great space for our dog and for us to relax on the deck. Fabulous location, walking distance to the wharf, town centre and supermarkets. Jacqui’s communication was also great.

We are regular Port Willunga holidayers. We booked this property as my son was getting married in McLaren Vale…..this house was by FAR the most beautiful place we have stayed in Port Willunga…..we will definitely be back! Would 100% recommend

Thanks so much for a wonderful relaxing stay in your beautiful cottage. So full of charming character & close to all of the facilities of the town. We will highly recommend you!

We had a great stay. This home is ideal for any weather. It is a short walk to Boomer Beach and has a great yard for outdoor dining with a fire pit for the cooler weather.

Super cozy house with everything you could need for a getaway. The host had thought of everything down to the smallest details. Thanks for providing a wonderful & comfortable accommodation!

Jessie’s place was the perfect home for a weekend away wine tasting. The town of Willunga is McLaren Vale’s cute little brother- think gorgeous cafe’s, local artisanal fare, a weekly farmers market & antique shop. The house is located a short drive from the village (McLaren Vale is super hilly so bikes are optimistic) in a gorgeous vineyard with spectacular views. The house is spacious, super comfortable beds, lovely linen, air con- every thing we needed for the perfect weekend. We’ve made beautiful memories here & we will be back with friends for a winter visit to use the fire!! Thank you!!

A lovely place to rest with great presentation across the home. What you saw on the listing was what we got and more. Lovely location and able to walk to everything we needed including food! Welcoming gifts were a nice touch as were the information on what was around with vineyards etc. We inadvertently picked one of the busiest times of the year to visit but it was great to be out of the hub-bub of the city and at a jumping point to get to Hahndorf, Victors Harbour, beaches and did I mention the 100 vineyards there! Would visit and book in again!

Perfect for what we needed while on a short motorbike trip around the penninsula. Clean, secure and private and a responsive and friendly host.

It doesn't get any better. The apartment is beautful and has everything a couple would want for an extended stay. It's a short walk to Maslin beach and very close to the vineyards of Maclaren Vale. Ann Marie was a delightful host with lots of suggestions on good restaurants and places to go. Loved it.

Lovely place to stay, 3 nights in a comfy bed and great amenities. private and fresh, clean and bright. C&J, Perth

Lovely scenery with a view of the hills, beach and animals on the properties. Short drive from the pristine carrickalinga beach and Normanville town. A very generous welcome pack was provided. Be aware the property can be shared with other residents in 2 other apartments.

Graham's place is outstanding with cleanliness and views. Only downfall was the internet, it's very slow. But I don't believe that's Graham's fault, other people in the area have issues with internet and 4G network.

Amazing 3-night stay with epic sunsets and breathtaking views . It was truly unforgettable. The perfect blend of comfort, relaxation, and natural beauty. Simon was a great host ! Highly recommend ! Thank you !

We had a wonderful stay at Kelly’s spacious, comfortable and beautifully appointed Airbnb. The location was fantastic, the sea view was lovely. We felt right at home. Kelly was very communicative and there were lots of thoughtful touches in the apartment. We would recommend this Airbnb to all.

Great unit, perfect for our family of 4. The location is beautiful with the esplanade and cafes at walking distance. The unit appears to be recently renovated and the furnishings are beautiful. my little one couldn't get enough of the toys available.

We absolutely loved our stay! It had all the space we needed and it was clean and private. Beds were very comfy, kitchen was stocked with all the things we needed and the welcome platter was so lovely and much appreciated. We will definitely be staying here again! Thanks Ange!

We had an incredible stay, we felt relaxed and enjoyed the amazing views that were on offer. Holly’s instructions and recommendations were thorough and helpful. We loved all the attention to detail within and outside the accommodation. The outdoor bath was a perfect way to unwind and the win and cooked breakfast was the icing on the cake. Overall we would tell our friends and family to book here. Thanks again.

Great location, great host and, great villa. Villa was easy to find and great communication from host made the stay perfect.

This place is picture perfect. The views are incredible, especially with the morning light seeping in. The villa is stunning in every way, abaolutely beautiful. I was surprised how big it was too compared to the photographs, its surprisingly spacious. The kitchen is well equipped (although a microplane grater would be a welcome addition!) and the wine and breakfast provisions were a nice treat. I would highly recommend staying here to everyone I know.

Retreet was absolute perfection. The home was beautifully curated and flawlessly executed, every detail felt intentional. A true haven, offering all the comforts with a touch of refined luxury. An unforgettable stay.

We loved our stay - the house was immaculate and every small detail had been considered to make us feel comfortable and welcome. It was a truly memorable weekend. Definitely 5 stars!

Inspiring decor and surroundings. Casa del mar was a gorgeous getaway for my family and I with all the essential amenities. We spent the weekend admiring the interiors, layout and view. There’s lot to do, we played pool, finska, puzzles, went on walks and watched movies at night. We hope to be back again

Our family stayed at Lapito House to celebrate Christmas and it was everything we wished for. The accommodation feels luxurious and the location is magical. We spent hours relaxing and enjoying each other’s company on the front deck, which overlooks rolling hills, farm animals and wonderful wildlife. Pia is an excellent host and we felt extremely welcome.
