Beachside Retreat Victor Harbor Central
Perfect holiday home, very close to the beach. Spacious front and back yards for enjoying the sun and coffee. We enjoyed the starry sky in the backyard at night. Very clean and nice house, spacious living room and kitchen. The welcome wine and cookies were great. Milk, coffee and cereal are also provided. Comfortable room, good sleep. Great shower. My daughter loves board games and toys. We stayed four nights and enjoyed it very much. If I have the chance in the future, we would like to come back and stay a few more days. Highly recomended!

Southern Sands' Beachfront Apartment
Had a lovely stay. Everything was exactly as described and true to the photos. The view here is awesome! Very relaxing. Lots to do and see as well. Thank you.

Romantic Beach Getaway
Martha was very easy to communicate with, and very friendly! The accommodation had everything we needed - including Netflix, board games, and classic DVDs! Upon arrival, our hosts had left a lovely gift for us which we did not expect! Central to everything too - restaurants, cafes, attractions. The only hiccup we had was the key return in the lockbox which was located at our hosts letterbox 5mins away from the accommodation - we were already out of Victor when we remembered and had to turn around!

Blue Seas on The Esplanade
Denise's place was perfectly located and easy walking distance for what we wanted to do in Victor Harbor (Granite Island and the Cockle Train). In addition, the view from the living space and main bedroom to both Granite Island and the Bluff were superb. It's a neat, tidy space, plenty of room for our family of 4. Had everything we needed for a couple of nights getaway. Thanks Denise

Beachfront on Seagull - Uninterrupted Seaviews
Great place. Fantastic views of the ocean. Very peaceful. Lovely holiday.

Stunning 2 Bedroom apartment with ocean views
A great apartment with everything you need. Can walk to the beach and food outlets. Great view and lovely sitting on the front deck watching the sunset. Monica was very helpful and kind. If we lived in SA we would visit much more often!

Beach House 305
The accomodation was great for 5 people. Amenities were great with very clear instructions on how to access apartment. We really enjoyed our stay, we would return and recommend to others. As other reviews pointed out the two bedrooms which are facing the external hallway, the light coming in at night is very bright even with the blind down, suggest people staying in these rooms bring a sleep masks. There were fans provided for the rooms which do not have air conditioning, however leaving the front air-conditioner and the back one on with bedroom doors open would work also.

Breeze @ the Bay - Sunny beach front apartment
Lovely apartment on the esplanade, overlooking Encounter Bay. Just perfect. Exactly as described and as reflected in the images. Everything is fresh and contemporary. Beautiful bath and a separate walk-in shower with plenty of hot water and loads of pressure. Front bedroom and living space lead out onto an expansive balcony with seating, a table and BBQ. The apartment is sitting up high but with no stairs. Enter straight in from the back. Plenty of parking for the car. The kitchen has everything including a full sized fridge and dishwasher. We've stayed at Fiona's apartment previously and have been keen to head back. Says it all. Just enjoy the ambiance.

"Sandilira by the Lake" Breakfast included!
Beautiful nicely laid out clean cottage for a weekend getaway or for a longer stay overlooking lake Alexandrina. Included breakfast was superb. Russel was a very responsive host. The cottage was well setup with all amenities. Plenty of bird life and heritage around location. Thank you Russel for the great stay.

Sunsets ~ Rooftop, Incredible views, 4 KING rooms
Sunsets was the perfect place for a getaway. Stunning location, and extremely luxurious amenities and styling. Such a well thought out and beautiful space. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we could have needed. I could not recommend this stay more, it far exceeded our expectations!

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.

The Rushes -Goolwa Wharfe and Market Precinct
We felt right at home straight away, lovely set-up with everything that you need to have a home away from home. enjoyed relaxing in the bath and the electronic bed - fantastic. the outdoor area was relaxing, enjoyed reading a book. Great location in Goolwa, walkable to main street. Has Hays St Bar & Kitchen very close and worth going to have a meal. Also, recommend the Thí restaurant in the main street. Looking forward to staying here again soon.

'Casa Del Sol' - Idyllic Waterfront Beach House
Absolutely stunning spot, so much open space and a beautiful view, so grateful to be able to stay here & will be coming back!

Sunflower Cottage - Lake View, Bottle of wine inc
This was the perfect place to relax. Beautiful views and an aesthetically pleasing home. Beds were comfy and I adored the seating that was perfect to curl up and read a book in. I have recommended the Sunflower Cottage to friends and family and will be returning to stay in the future!

259 Esplanade Aldinga hosted by SA Stays
We stayed here for a work trip and it was exceptional. The house was in excellent condition, comfortable and a great place to relax after a busy day workshopping with the team. We would highly recommend staying here again. SA Stays were a great host and were very responsive with any questions we had leading up to the trip. With different team members staying in one house it was great having the extra space where everyone could have some alone time if it was needed. Having enough bedrooms to cater for everyone was a big hit. Definitely a must stay for anyone heading to Aldinga in a larger group. 5-stars!

Santorini on Sands ~ Sellicks Beach paradise
We had a fantastic stay.The location was amazing being right on the beach with a coffee shop/general store and restaurant below. It was also close to McLaren Vale and all the wineries. The house is exactly as listed and had lots of space for a large group. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb and can’t wait to go back again!
