Summer Bay House—Évasion au bord du lac à Encounter Bay

This lakefront retreat captures the essence of coastal South Australia, where soft light, open design, and calm water views set an easy rhythm from the moment you arrive. Sunlight streams through generous windows, highlighting the home’s natural tones, layered textures, and contemporary coastal styling.

The upstairs living area frames sweeping views across the lake—an inviting space to slow down and let the stillness of the bay set the pace for the day. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped with quality stainless-steel appliances and thoughtful touches, from a Nespresso machine for slow mornings to wine glasses ready for sunset drinks. Share meals around the eight-seater dining table, or take them outside to the balcony for casual barbecues and evening breezes.

Downstairs, a relaxed second living area provides space for everyone to unwind, opening directly to the outdoors. The fenced backyard leads to the water’s edge, where sun loungers and a private pontoon invite paddleboarding, fishing, or quiet moments beside the lake.

Four bedrooms comfortably sleep eight guests. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a king bed, while the second bedroom features a queen. A family bathroom with a bath, shower, and separate water closet completes this level. Downstairs, a further queen bedroom and one with two singles—convertible to a king on request—are served by a modern second bathroom.

With split-system heating and cooling, a full laundry, and off-street parking, the home blends comfort with coastal ease—perfectly positioned close to the beach yet peacefully removed from the bustle of Victor Harbor.

Two stand-up paddleboards are available for guest use during your stay. For safety, they are secured when not in use and can only be accessed with a code, which will be provided once a liability waiver has been signed. Guests are responsible for any damage incurred, and all use of the boards is entirely at their own risk.
