Step into one of South Australia’s most unique stays
Yelki by the Sea is a rare 1830s heritage stone cottage set on the beachfront at Encounter Bay, near Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Beautifully restored and rich with original character, it offers a uniquely intimate escape where early South Australian history meets modern comfort.
With uninterrupted ocean views and direct access to the coastal walking trail, Yelki provides a serene setting for couples seeking a romantic retreat or guests looking for a peaceful, restorative stay.
Wake to the sound of the sea and watch the morning light drift across the bay from your doorstep.
Inside, cosy armchairs, wooden floors, layered rugs and an open fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere — perfect for lingering with a book, sharing a quiet moment or simply enjoying the glow of the fire. Outside, the veranda and pepper tree offer beautiful spots to sit with a glass of wine and take in views to Wright Island and The Bluff.
The cottage features a well equipped kitchen, a light filled breakfast room, two comfortable bedrooms and a modern bathroom, with quality linen and thoughtful touches throughout.
Steps from the beach and walking trails, Yelki is ideally placed for exploring the Heysen Trail, cycling into Victor Harbor or enjoying the tranquil surroundings of Encounter Bay. A café and several excellent restaurants are within easy walking distance.
