Best B&B ever absolutely beautiful spot, sparkling clean and everything you need. Delicious breakfast of top quality foods. Chocs , biscuits and a nice bottle of wine what more could you ask for. Beautiful flowers from the garden arranged to perfection. John and Nell are amazing hosts they love a chat but respect your privacy you wouldn’t know they were next door. This was our 4th visit and we will continue every year we love it so much. So so happy we found this little gem and highly recommend if you look for romantic tranquility or just a quiet time away .

Anniversary weekend

We look forward all year to our annual holiday at Close Encounters B & B.  The decor is attractive and the accommodation designed for comfort and convenience. Its location makes it easy to explore every part of the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula, from Victor Harbor to Port Elliot and Goolwa, and many of the slightly more distant historic and attractive small towns. Our hosts are experienced professionals, who extend a warm welcome, and take care to ensure that every detail is in perfect order.  Thank you, Nell and John!

Restful Haven

This was the best B&B my wife and I have ever been to. Sparkling clean with every amenity you could possibly want. A substantial and varied feast offered for breakfast and many extras like quality choccies, biscuits and a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge. Set on about 3 acres of protea bushes and other trees, there was a view over Victor Harbor to Granite Island and the causeway. Hosts Nell and John were a delightful couple only too willing to assist in any way they could. 
Truly a lovely spot and we plan to be back at the height of the protea season.

Lovely B&B

We are repeat customers who always appreciate the absolute quietness, the fantastic cleanliness and the generous provisions left for our enjoyment. Incredible attention to detail. Views are fantastic and we were able to appreciate the warming rays of the spring sunshine whilst relaxing with nibbles & drinks on the front verandah. Variety of active birdlife was fantastic including the family of Hooded Plovers who had taken up residence in the front garden. The garden is beautiful with an array of spring flowers. Owners are very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too hard for them. Strongly recommend.

Labour Day weekend Rest & Relaxation

Another visit and another relaxing week to just soak it up and totally recharge. Again we experienced the high standard that we have received in the past. Nell & John made sure that we didn't go without and spoilt us with the magnificent views, food  and wild life including an unexpected visit of an echidna that walked slowly past our front patio one night. We will be sure to visit again soon.

Echidna sighting

The gardens, outlook of the bay, the peaceful location,  the perfectly appointed facilities and especially the gracious hosts made for a wonderful stay.
Close Encounters B & B has that combination of warmth and luxury rarely experienced.

Wonderful

Firstly, I don’t write reviews!

However, on this occasion I must share our absolute delight in finding this gem!

My partner and I are on our last night out of a 7 night stay and we really don’t want to leave. We have had the most wonderful stay.

Nell and John are the best hosts we have come across in all of our travels. From the warm welcome to the sad farewell.

The property is gorgeous and the comforts are second to none. It is a very pleasant change to have hosts that’s major concern is your absolute comfort. The accomodation is hospital clean, super comfortable and has everything you could need. We stopped off at the shop before arriving and did not need one of the items we purchased

I can not recommend this B&B enough, treat yourself and if we ever come this way again, we will ensure to book here again

Best holiday destination ever!

This B&B is the best ever. The fact that this visit was our 8th says it all. John & Nell are very welcoming and really looked after us for our Wedding Anniversary with a card, balloon and fresh flowers throughout the accommodation. Their roses are perfect in every way. Nothing is overlooked with the generous Provisions including breakfast provisions to self prepare. Cleanliness throughout is immaculate.  As the days were sunny we spent many hours relaxing on the outdoor setting over a meal or coffee admiring the fantastic views. As the area has had several heatwaves including the hottest day ever, their work in the garden is paying dividends in creating a beautiful landscape of colour. The bird life and the occasional visit of a rabbit or lizard is great. This time we had a peacock visit early in the morning. Hosts were most helpful over a clothing item that we left behind. Thank you Nell & John for everything.

Awesome weekend away experience

We have stayed here several times now because it is quiet simply in our opinion the best B&B in South Australia!
Fantastic location in beautiful surroundings with the very best accommodation anyone could possibly wish for hosted by 2 beautiful people. Thank you John & Nell for another perfect stay.

Always Amazing 

We stayed here for two nights, 14-15 Mar 2019. The property is spacious and clean. We could drive our car straight to the covered garage where the door is just next to. It is extremely well-equipped, showcasing the thoughtfulness of our hosts, Nell and John. Breakfasts were well stocked with many selections. 

I am quite sure that the property will meet all expectations of even the most demanding travellers.
