Top Encounter Bay Hotel Reviews

Discovery Resorts - McCracken Country Club

8/10 Good

"Friendly helpful staff, nice rooms"

Pan Co Victor Harbor

8/10 Good

"Check in is always a pleasant experience at the Pan Co. Rooms are not sparkling clean, marks on tiles and dusty side bed tables however, it’s still liveable. There was a distinct hole at the base of the door on both sides like the skirting had been chipped off. Noise could be heard from both the units on either side and people in and out all night. Windows are extremely thin and conversation can be heard outside when inside. Staff are always friend and parking on site seems secure enough and plenty of parks."

Nightcap at Hotel Victor

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area was lovely. Had our evening meals in our room and both were very nice. Room service didn't do a very good job. The bed was very badly made with pillows left thrown on the bed and under the spread was left very lumpy, not a very good look. I love entering our room and finding our bed all made and looking lovely."

Anchorage Seafront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great views, well maintained rooms. Getting a bit tired. The closure of restaurant bit disappointing. Helpful staff & the free bottle of local wine a nice touch Would stay again."
