Nell and John provide a wonderful experience at Close Encounters, definitely one of the best that we have had anywhere on our travels. Upon arrival they welcomed us warmly and made interesting suggestions for our stay. The room is beautiful, spacious and very clean - a very high priority for me. The cupboards are well stocked and there are books... More

So quiet and relaxing! Nell & John have thought of everything, picturesque semi rural aspect, huge gardens and absolutely spotless presentation with so many extra touches made our stay a dream. Wind down, add a massage to the package and then take a short drive to enjoy the coastal experiences of Victor Harbor. A weekend definitely not enough!

John and Nell met us on arrival and made... More

Stefanie and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at this accommodation. The room was extremely comfortable and the spa was just an excellent way to end a day of walking around Victor Harbor.
