Our family had a fantastic time at the "Secrets of the Sea" holiday home in Encounter Bay. The beachfront location and calm lakefront was ideal for our little grandson who had fun building sandcastles whilst the rest of the family enjoyed swimming, kayaking or simply relaxing on the back patio. The home is well appointed with a good variety of practical amenities. Michael promptly responded to our queries, no problems with contactless check-in and check-out. We hope to return for a holiday at this beachfront home in the near future.
