Almost brand new! We understand the hotel was completely refurbished last year. Excellent and efficient layout. Light, bright and airy. The rooms are great, the food is as excellent and staff are all very obliging and enthusiastic. We were holidaying from NZ and we seldom give reviews … but this was definitely the best hotel we stayed at in Victoria or SA.

This cottage is a piece of history. Forget staying in modern, bland surroundings, it is a wonderful experience to stay here. Our friendly hosts shared stories of the cottage, the days of early Encounter Bay and the lives of the people who lived here. The cottage has been lovingly restored, and you will find absolutely everything to make your stay comfortable. We received a lovely welcome card, chocolates and wine on arrival. There is so much to do around the area and a restaurant and general store 5 doors down the road. The gardens of Yelki by the Sea are beautiful and the location is perfect, right opposite the beach with views of the Bluff. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The location was good. There is plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen well equipped. Nice cosy unit. The outside toilet and shower room were handy. Good walking track across from the unit, although there were upgrades in the process during our stay.

    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 42 reviews
    The location, right on the beachfront, was perfect. Restaurants were close by, and the larger towns of Victor Harbor and Port Elliot were only a short drive away. We appreciated the little treats left for us (wine, chocolates) and loved the evidence of the place's age - the thick walls, casement windows, the old wood stove in the kitchen, slightly uneven floors. It all made for an experience rather different from that of most b&bs. The character of the building was a drawcard in itself.
