Voted TOP 10 holiday home in Stayz 2021 Holiday Home Awards

** All guests are welcomed with a lovely bottle of SA wine and chocolate **

This New York loft-inspired two-storey home oozes industrial cool and is perfectly located on the esplanade at Encounter Bay. The modern architecture, concrete walls, stainless steel benchtops and pressed tin stairs are perfect for any traveller that appreciates interior design. The home is also pet friendly and features a great grassed area with entertaining space for warm summer nights.

This unique, contemporary, architect-designed two-storey property won an Urban Development Institute SA award. There is nothing else like it on the Fleurieu! With concrete tilt-up walls, commercial windows and big sliding doors upstairs and downstairs, and its feature floors, this property is spectacular. And thats before we mention its esplanade frontage and incredible ocean views.

This property is on the esplanade at Encounter Bay and captures spectacular views from Granite Island to the Bluff, from both the front and side of the house. The views can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining, living area and of course the deck upstairs, and from the downstairs deck, living area and one of the bedrooms.

When you arrive at this luxurious beach escape, you walk into the family room, full picture windows allow the ocean view and the light to stream in you are so close to the beach you could skim stones from the front door just 35 steps (approx.). This second living area has a big comfy lounge, HDTV, DVD Player and Wii gaming console so it's a fantastic space for the kids to hang out leaving the adults to relax upstairs. This room has brilliant sea views. There are stainless steel sliding doors leading onto the front deck with a stunning view of the beach!

For entertainment and work (if you have to though you definitely won't want to!), this property has high-speed Aussie Broadband Wi-Fi with unlimited downloads! You can watch unlimited free movies and TV series during your stay. You can also stream music through internet radio, watch music videos through Vimeo, and activate your brain with an incredible range of TED talks.

Elegantly simplistic in design, there are two double bedrooms downstairs both with built-in robes. The sparkling white main bathroom (with a separate shower and deep bath) separates the two rooms.

Upstairs is where the magic happens, and you won't be able to help but throw open the big aluminium and glass sliding doors and step out onto the eco-wood balcony to soak up as much of the stunning view as possible.

An outdoor lounge and a BBQ downstairs make this the perfect entertaining or chilling space.

Inside there is an open-plan living area with a contemporary kitchen with European stainless-steel appliances, a dishwasher and a stainless-steel waterfall benchtop. Carefully planned windows (including a floor-to-ceiling bay window with the iconic Three Pelicans sculptures) provide views from every angle and allow the sun to illuminate the room. There is an open plan living dining area, with a table that seats 8 people. For entertainment, there is a 50 LCD HDTV, stereo (with Bluetooth) and DVDs, plus books, games and movies. We have now added Netflix so you can watch unlimited free movies and TV series during your stay. You can also stream music through internet radio, watch music videos through Vimeo and activate your brain with an incredible range of TED talks.

Polished oak timber floors flow through this top level and are the perfect accompaniment to the polished concrete feature walls, high-raked ceilings, brushed aluminium windows and LED lighting.

The light-filled master bedroom, located at the rear of the home (upstairs), has built-in robes plus an ensuite.

Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning is throughout the house. Power is provided by a solar system for an eco-friendly holiday.
