About this property
Holiday Home with Private Beach & Stunning Views!
** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **
Is this the ultimate in pet-friendly Fleurieu holidays? We may be biased, but we think it is! Let's start with its location: lakefront with a private beach! The downstairs living area, main bedroom suite, private courtyard and rear verandah all enjoy stunning views of the beach and the lake. If you want to do more than just sit and stare, drag our kayak a few metres from the back fence to the water line and go for a 4.5km paddle! Go for a swim. Take the rowboat for a spin. Play with the kids on the beach or in the shallow water at the edge of the lake. Also features high-speed Aussie Broadband Wi-Fi and Netflix! This is a truly glorious place to get active or just relax!
The two-storey house is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just a few minutes walk from Franklin Parade (the esplanade at Encounter Bay). The property has been extensively renovated in September 2017 with a brand-new kitchen, two new bathrooms, new flooring throughout, new furniture in most rooms, new LED lighting, new window treatments and more!
As you walk in the front door to the hallway, there is a large downstairs light and bright bedroom (all beds are made up and ready for your arrival), with a sliding door to the private courtyard, and a wall-mounted TV. Next is a bathroom, which means those who are not able to climb stairs can reside completely downstairs throughout their stay. There is a separate toilet (nicknamed the “Harry Potter Room” because it is under the stairs) and laundry. The hallway ultimately opens onto the main open-plan living area and kitchen. This fully tiled space has a wall of windows looking out to the lake and private beach for uninterrupted views.
There is a dining table and a lounge area with big LCD TV and home theatre and a kitchen with a dishwasher and breakfast bar. This room has three sets of sliding doors: two leading out to the verandah overlooking the lake and one leading to the private central courtyard.
The central courtyard (still with views to the lake) has a wonderful Vergola remote control roof. This enables you to control the light and airflow in the courtyard. It can be completely closed for a waterproof space.
The 4-burner hooded gas BBQ sits in the courtyard, along with an outdoor setting.
Upstairs are three more bedrooms, including one that doubles as a second living space (with TV, and DVD), and two full bathrooms. The main bedroom suite has a large walk-in robe (with views of the lake!), an ensuite bathroom and a large bedroom space with stunning views. It has its own wall-mounted TV.
The back verandah (facing the lake) is a lovely place to sit, relax and enjoy the lake. There is a comfortable outdoor setting as well as two Ikea beach chairs that can be moved anywhere in the garden (or down on the beach).
There is Aussie Broadband Wi-Fi throughout the house with free Netflix in both upstairs and downstairs living areas. This gives you access to a massive library of movies and high-quality TV shows. The kids can be upstairs watching Red Dog 1 and 2 while you're downstairs watching House of Gods!
If you want to walk to the esplanade at Encounter Bay, it is a flat 5-minute walk (there is a cut-through at the bottom of Islander Drive). The house is within walking distance to 3 cafes (our favourite – The Beach House, The Boulevard Cafe (on the lake at Bartel Boulevard) and the Yilki General Store (extremely popular for coffee and an egg roll for breakfast!
Every Pet Let stay includes the Perks Pack: an exclusive bundle of discount offers at local businesses worth up to $230. From spa sessions to dining and local activities, it’s extra value built in so you can get the most out of your holiday budget.
Bedding Configuration
4 Bedrooms:
• Bedroom 1: King-size bed with huge pillow top mattress (upstairs)
• Bedroom 2: Queen size bed with pillow top mattress (upstairs)
• Bedroom 3: Queen size bed (downstairs)
• Bedroom 4/Second Living Area: 1 x Double sofa bed (extra cost applies) (upstairs)
Cleaning includes professional house cleaning and beds made up ready for your arrival ***
The beds will be freshly made for guest arrival with sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers. Bath towels, mats, hand towels and tea towels are all supplied.
*** Pet-Friendly Holidaying ***
If your pets are put in a kennel while you are on holiday not only will they have a horrible time and you will miss them, but it will cost you a significant chunk of money! Bring the fur kids on holiday with you instead!
The backyard of this property is completely enclosed so your animals can be outside safely. There is shade and lawn. Your well-behaved animals are very welcome inside. If but not on the furniture please (unless you bring blankets or sheets to cover the furniture).
We provide bowls for water and food. Just bring bedding for your animals and they will be set for a wonderful holiday!
Our properties are cleaned to a very high standard to ensure that whilst it is pet friendly, it is not pet smelly!
Dogs are not permitted to swim or bathe in the lakes, and all dogs must be on leash while on the beach or reserve area.
***Council limit of 2 pets per stay***
If this property is booked, we have another pet-friendly property on the lake at Encounter Bay (33 Clipper Court). That fully renovated property has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big living area with bi-fold doors to a pergola-covered outdoor entertaining area (with lake views of course), and a separate courtyard.
There is a courtyard area at the side of the house that is completely enclosed to about 1.8M with a very small gap underneath the two gates (one at either end of the courtyard). The rear yard (facing the lake) is fully fenced but on the lakeside, it has a low pool fence of approx. 900mm. The backyard has a lawn.

You have booked the property for a certain number of people (as specified on your booking). If you would like to have extra guests stay at any time, please contact us in advance. We will advise if this is possible and, if so, the additional cost.
Our cleaners plan their daily schedule for the number of guests booked in at each property. If undeclared guests stay, the rate charged retrospectively will be double the standard rate.
**SCHOOLIES - property is available with a $2,500 bond and a $250 cleaning fee for a maximum of 8 people ONLY plus $110 per person per night in excess of 2 guests. No parties are allowed at any time. **
