Relaxing, dog-friendly stay

Jonesy’s property had everything we needed for a week away with the family and our dogs. There was plenty to keep us entertained including a ping pong table, fire pit, books, games and more. The yard was perfect for our dogs and there was even a dog bed for them laze around on. The location was fantastic too - close to the bay, playgrounds and cafes.

We stayed here for a girls' weekend away. It was perfect! The rooms were comfortable all with king beds, great decorations which made us feel so relaxed and it had everything we could possibly need! Best thing about it was the hot tub! I only gave 4 stars for the location but that was only because the only thing that could have made it 5 star would be if it was a beach-front property. We were going to go out for dinner last night but we were too tired / wanted to enjoy the property so we stayed in instead! We all would love to stay in this property again for our next girls' weekend away!

Quick get away

We just loved this property. It was beachside luxury. The quality of bedding and towels were gorgeous. It had everything and more you’d ever want or need in a holiday property for us. We loved the fully enclosed yard which was safe for our Golden Retriever. Just a short walk to the end of the street to the beach was very handy. We look forward to staying again.

Furnishings are comfortable & the televisions are great. Very secure yard for the dogs. Central Encounter Bay location close to the Esplanade. Absolutely recommend 😁
