About

Step into one of South Australia's most unique stays. Yelki by the Sea is a beautifully restored 1830s beachfront cottage in Encounter Bay, near Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

With uninterrupted ocean views and direct access to the coastal walking trail, this heritage stone cottage offers a rare blend of history, character and modern comfort — perfect for a romantic getaway or peaceful escape.

Enjoy a truly special stay in this heritage‑listed cottage that combines the warmth of a historic home with the comfort of a thoughtfully restored retreat for up to four guests. Wake to the sound of the ocean and watch the light shift across the bay from your doorstep.

Inside, cosy armchairs, wooden floors, rugs and a fireplace create a welcoming atmosphere — ideal for relaxing with a book or simply taking in the views. Step outside to the veranda or sit beneath the pepper tree with a glass of wine, enjoying uninterrupted vistas across to Wright Island and The Bluff.

The cottage features a well‑equipped kitchen, a light‑filled breakfast room overlooking the garden, two comfortable bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Quality linen, bathrobes and thoughtful touches ensure a restful and memorable stay.

Just steps from the beach and coastal walking trails, you can explore the Heysen Trail, cycle into Victor Harbor or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Encounter Bay.
