3 Bedroom Apartment in Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor

Overlooking Granite Island, this ground-level, three-bedroom beachfront apartment sits in one of Encounter Bay's most sought-after spots, with uninterrupted ocean views just steps from the sand. A short walk to Yilki Deli, Beach Hut Cafe, and Eat at Whalers, with The Bluff, Granite Island, and the heart of Victor Harbor all close by. Rear allocated parking included. Ideal for a romantic getaway or a family coastal escape, minutes from Port Elliot and less than an hour's drive from Adelaide.
This ground-level apartment on Franklin Parade offers easy, step-free access straight onto the coast, with the water in full view from the moment you walk in. It's set up for a peaceful stay, whether you're after a quiet couples' escape or a slower-paced family holiday by the sea.
The main bedroom has a queen bed with beach-facing views, the second bedroom offers a further queen, and the third has a single bed suited to a child or extra guest. A second bathroom sits just off the back door, handy for rinsing off sand after the beach. Quality linen and towels are included in your stay, with beds already made up on arrival, and basic kitchen essentials are provided so there's little to organise before you settle in.
A private patio at the front looks straight out over the water. Parking is in an allocated space at the rear of the property, though it isn't undercover.
Eat at Whalers is just a two-minute walk for fresh seafood with bay views, while Yilki Deli and Beach Hut Cafe are also close enough to reach on foot. The Bluff is a scenic 20-minute walk or 5-minute drive, and Granite Island and the Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram are both around 10 minutes by car, with the Anchorage Hotel a similar distance away.
Beachfront Access – Located right on Franklin Parade, you’re steps away from the shoreline of Encounter Bay. Enjoy morning walks, bike rides, or kayaking straight from the foreshore.
Dining & Cafés – Popular local spots such as Eat at Whalers and beachfront cafés are within a short stroll, perfect for casual meals or a coffee with ocean views.
Victor Harbor Town Centre – Just a 5-minute drive (or a pleasant coastal walk) brings you into Victor Harbor, where you’ll find supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and family-friendly attractions.
Public Transport – Local bus services run along Franklin Parade and connect to Victor Harbor town centre, making it easy to explore without a car.
Driving – Encounter Bay provides direct access to the scenic Fleurieu Peninsula. Adelaide CBD is about 1 hour 15 minutes by car, while the wineries of McLaren Vale and the beauty of Deep Creek Conservation Park are all within easy reach.
Day Trips – Take a short drive to nearby attractions such as Granite Island, Port Elliot, Middleton, or Goolwa, each offering its own charm, beaches, and dining experiences.
