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.

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.

Fabulous property
This place has EVERYTHING you need right down to random items such as kitchen scales, salt & pepper, glad wrap/baking paper & body wash. Clean, tidy & functional. Furnishings are comfortable & the televisions are great. Very secure yard for the dogs. Central Encounter Bay location close to the Esplanade. Absolutely recommend 😁

Great little spot in the gem of Australia
Straight from the start we knew we were getting a 5 star holiday. No fuss check in with Jonesy tick, all the modern mod cons and being able to have our dog of 13 years stay with us an added bonus. After a 9 hour drive nothing better than having a quick takeaway and settling in with netflix in a house that is so inviting. The house is around from the corner from the beach and only a short stroll to the local cafe too. In all the experience was amazing and the bed was so comfy too. We will be back to the SA soon.
