Great location, and very lovely views. We spent a lot of our time upstairs in the lounge room with the beautiful big windows and views of the ocean. Easy check in, and out, lovely neat and great interiors. We hope to visit again soon!

Very disappointing phone call we received the day before
We never had a chance to stay here as the painters came in that day and we had to go elsewhere. Surely you would have known that without sending us your email to see how we enjoyed our holiday.

Oh what a view!
David called me about an hour prior to our arrival to welcome us and let me know everything was ready for us. We found our holiday destination with ease and discovered just what a beauty this little place is as soon as we opened the door. Everything was spotlessly clean and welcoming. A beautiful kitchen that's well equipped and how can I not say anything about that view!
Two giant bean bags to watch the waves rolling in from the upper level.
Comfortable bedrooms and I love the shower in laundry as you enter from the back to jump straight into after playing down at the beach without dragging sand through the house.
We had a wonderful stay!

Amazing Views!
Amazing views of Encounter Bay, close enough to watch pods of dolphins migrate around the Bay. Cute and cosy apartment, recently renovated. Sunsets from the upstairs family area were a winner. We'll be back i hope!
