Casa Del Mar

Perched above Encounter Bay on a private coastal estate, Casa Del Mar is a destination in itself — a rare retreat with sweeping views from The Bluff to The Coorong, offering space, privacy, and a true sense of escape, just an hour from Adelaide.

A feeling of arrival is immediate as you wind your way up the palm-lined drive to a home that blends Mediterranean style and design, creating a distinctive and transportive setting. Curated artworks, handcrafted details, and pieces collected through years of travel come together to create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from a typical coastal stay.

Casa Del Mar accommodates up to 12 guests across five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and multiple living zones, allowing everyone to gather comfortably or retreat in privacy.

Mornings begin slowly — coffee in hand, watching the light move across the ocean as kangaroos graze quietly on the lawns below. Days are spent relaxing in light-filled living spaces that open to courtyards, gardens, and elevated outlooks, inviting the ever-changing coastal landscape into daily life.

Evenings are often shared by the fire, in the games room, watching films, or dining beneath the stars in the iconic glasshouse.

While the setting feels peaceful and secluded, Casa Del Mar is ideally positioned for exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula's coastal towns, cellar doors, and walking trails.
