Kanga Beach Haven - Aldinga
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!

Pethick House: Estate amongst the vineyards
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.

The Landing | Oceanfront views of Port Willunga
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.

South Shores Beach Retreat
Stayed with family of 4 adults and 2 children. We had a wonderful time and the villa was perfect for us - clean and tidy with everything we needed. Not having to bring linen and beach towels was a welcome bonus. Narelle was very friendly and quickly responded to our questions. The kitchen and family room setup is ideal for large groups. Highly recommend.

Villa 66 South Shores - Normanville
My freinds and I loved the stay, we would love to come back . The house was clean and had everything we needed .

Seascape: Aldinga Esplanade - Pool, NobleBNB
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!

Ocean Views Across the Vineyards
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.

Finniss fields
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.

Modern house near the beach
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!

Experience a Waterfront Beach Retreat,Pet Friendly
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!

Encounter on George
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

Benny's Beach House
My wife and I loved our stay. The house was very unique which featured a lot of character and a perfect quiet location away from the city. Thank you Michael and Sue

Summer Bay House (Lakefront)
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.

Beachfront Break at Chiton Corner
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!

Spectacular beach location.Views, kayak and bikes.
An absolutely beautiful home with everything you need in it. The bedding and furnishing felt very lux and there was plenty of everything. We went as 6 friends for a girls weekend and barely left the house as it was so great! Claire was very easy to work with and was so understanding when I made a mistake with the booking and was more than happy to work with me to rectify it. Would highly recommend a stay at Claire’s house.

Normanville Beach House
Adam and Annie were the most amazing hosts, so responsive and attentive during my stay. Their place was so beautiful as well, very clean and exactly like the pictures. I will be returning soon!!

Shell House Studio - minutes from the beach
We really enjoyed our stay at Shell House Studio. The studio is a modern, spacious and clean 1 bed room accomodation option within walking distance of the beach and a close drive to Victor. Despite being near the road the studio was quiet and the back deck with a small ocean view was lovely! We will definitely stay again when we are in Victor next.

Ocean front retreat minutes from McLaren Vale
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!

Sandy Lakes Steps away from swimming lake & beach
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.

Martin House . Port Willunga
This house will keep you thinking about its design and aesthetic. It’s so clever, beautiful and usable. It’s worth the stay just to experience it really. But the stay is so much more. Everything is surgically clean and rabbit burrow cozy. For a summer house it makes a winning winter destination. I honestly wish I hadn’t given 5 stars to other places because this earned it like no other. Thank you.

Harboria House - coastal escape great for couples
Really nice place to stay, Mitch was a very good host, perfect location in victor harbour on a quiet street.

Kidman's Rest
The most gorgeous spot to enjoy the weekend! Stunning views out over the range. Super friendly and accommodating hosts, beautiful touches in the house, right down to delicious breakfast ingredients. Felt at home immediately, super cozy, cannot fault anything. Thank you so very very much for having us 🌞🌞

Ry's Retreat, Port Elliot
Beautiful accommodation, close to restaurants, clean and neat. Will stay again.

Sunset and Sea Views - Getaway for Two
Great location! Close to the beach & town and great views from the living room & bedroom over the ocean. Perfect for a beach getaway!
