About this house rental
** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **
Contemporary house overlooking a gorgeous, peaceful lake and reserve. 3 Bedrooms (sleeps 6 people). Fully fenced deck, boardwalk and backyard for humans and their pets! Big undercover deck to relax and enjoy the views and the amazing birdlife. Black and white cockatoos, galahs, corellas, gulls, ducks, pelicans, Ibis, wrens and more. The bird song in the morning is sublime. Big screen TV, NBN Wi-Fi and Netflix and 80% solar powered.
Located at the end of a very quiet cul de sac, this near-new property is a peaceful place to enjoy a relaxed holiday in beautiful Encounter Bay. It is directly overlooking a beautiful lake that is a haven for birds of all types! Particular favourites are white and black cockatoos, corellas and ducks. If you get lucky, you may see a Pelican or two in the lake!
Surrounded by reserve to the front, eastern side and rear, this property embodies the saying “How’s the serenity?” Walk around the lake or head down to the beach (about 6 mins away). There are also fabulous walks close by to Petrel Cove and The Bluff, or to Kings Beach. For a long walk, take the Heysen Trail to Waitpinga Beach – Kings Beach is just a 2 min drive from this property. Then marvel at the wildlife (seals, dolphins and whales can be seen depending on the time of year), birdlife, coastal flowers and the magnificent cliffs.
The property has three bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, and a separate toilet with laminate floorboards throughout. The open-plan kitchen/living room opens onto a large north-facing covered deck that offers great views of the lake and hills. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a filtered water tap. The furniture in the main living area has a beachy feel to get you in the holiday vibe from the minute you walk in the door.
The main bedroom has sliding doors to a deck and wonderful views of the willow trees along Jagger Lake. There is a wall-mounted TV so you can enjoy a lie-in while watching your favourite show (or let the kids into the main bedroom and they can watch Tv while adults enjoy the big screen TV in the main living area).
The main living area opens up to a big deck (complete with a roof for all-weather use). The deck is finished with two timber lounge chairs, a coffee table, a dining table and benches and a BBQ for outdoor cooking. It has recessed downlights for nighttime entertaining. Leading from the deck is a boardwalk up to the fully enclosed rear yard – a great, secure space for your dogs to play.
All bedrooms have stainless steel ceiling fans. The house also has reverse-cycle air conditioning. Slimline roller blinds and timber flooring throughout give the house a contemporary feel.
With views from the deck, living area and two bedrooms to Jagger Lake (which attracts loads of birdlife), this home will appeal to couples and families. It is comfortable, peaceful, quiet and relaxing: the perfect getaway!
Other facilities include a 40″ HD LED LCD flat-screen TV, DVD with home theatre, books, CDs, DVDs, and a comfortable lounge with a chaise. There is also a Smart TV with subscriptions to Netflix – so you can watch unlimited free movies and TV series during your stay.
Like all Pet Let properties, this house is 100% pet friendly. There are fully enclosed deck and yard, and your well-behaved pets are very welcome inside!
The reserve is less than 30 metres from the house, with the beach a 6-minute walk. A few minutes' drive to the Beach House on Franklin Parade, and 5 minutes will get you to Victor Harbor. The excellent Encounter Bay boat ramp is about 2 minutes' drive.
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.

Property was clean and very welcoming. Wine and chocolates left out for us. Linen on beds was extremely soft and comfortable. It was such a peaceful spot to have christmas day. The view of the little lake was lovely and the kids enjoyed feeding the ducks daily. Very quiet location and hosts were great from booking until checking out. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again soon

Lovely location, clean, comfortable, had everything u needed. Had 2 dogs with us, & dog run was secure & great. Internet a bit slow, had trouble with Stan & Netflix, TV Channels working OK. PETLET great, helping/ keeping in touch. We are in our 70's so maybe our knowledge of electronics is a bit to be desired.
Would recommend to others especially if u are OK with electronics as everything is there for u.

A Piece of Paradise
Beautiful quiet and peaceful property, very clean, great to be able to take our fur kids and have them inside with us. Bottle of wine and block of chocolate waiting for us on our arrival added a special touch. Loved sitting out on the deck overlooking the lake watching the birdlife, we had such a lovely relaxing stay.

Perfectly adequate holiday house
Comfortable bed & lounge. Good kitchen appliances, a/c & TV. Easy flooring to keep clean. Compact & minimalistic. Great view from the back decking. Good yard for our dog. If you're running or riding be aware that you have to climb a hill to get home!

Clean and comfortable.
The house was fine for our two day stay. Unfortunately it was a long way from town center which meant driving to everything. In saying that we discovered The Bluff nearby and enjoyed walking to the top and taking in the magnificent views. Definitely recommend the walk across to Granite Island.
The bed was comfy, house warm and a great TV. Just don’t forget your towels.

Just brilliant!!
Pet Let 6 was even better than I imagined! An impressive and tastefully presented home that was set up perfectly and very dog friendy! The surroundings and view has to be experienced to fully understand and appreciate the location and its beauty as well as peace and quiet. We WILL be back :-)

Perfect dog holiday
We spent 5 nights with our little girl Tia, and had an unbeleivably relaxing break from city life. It was so well planned to accommodate a family who also had well loved pets. The property was immaculate and there was nothing we wanted for. It was all provided. We loved our stay and will certainly come again
