32 Esplanade, Victor Harbor - The Summer Lodge – Esplanade Frontage & Character Charm

** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **

Full of style, character and a few quirks, The Summer Lodge, located on The Esplanade, allows you to experience a special Victor Harbor beach holiday. There is so much to love and enjoy in this 1900s charming residence - the stained-glass windows in the portico, high ceilings, glorious
timber floors, huge rooms, wide hallways and of course, the ocean just across the road!

Walk to restaurants, pubs and shops of Victor. Granite Island is just a few hundred metres away. This property is so close to all the action but away from the hustle and bustle of main streets of Victor Harbor.

Inside, through the wide front entrance, there’s cozy window seats, comfortable lounges, TV, and a formal dining setting, perfect for group get togethers. French doors open out onto a covered front verandah, equipped with a BBQ and an extra-large dining table, where you can relax while enjoying views of the Encounter Bikeway and beyond.

The spacious eat-in kitchen offers everything you need, including a fridge/freezer, electric oven and cooktop, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine, along with utensils and cookware. In addition, there’s another dining table for six, provides a cozy spot for breakfast. There’s also a gas BBQ on the front porch.

This delightful summer house stays cool throughout most of summer (due to its very thick walls and house size). Open the windows and doors to let the sea breeze flood through. There is one modern bathroom and an older style bathroom plus separate toilet. The laundry has a washing machine, wall mounted ironing board and a second fridge.

Every Pet Let stay includes the Perks Pack: an exclusive bundle of discount offers at local businesses worth up to $230. From spa sessions to dining and local activities, it’s extra value built in so you can get the most out of your holiday budget.

An amazing historic home that feels clean and inviting. It was much bigger than expected. The location was perfect and an easy short walk to Victor Harbor shopping and jetty. It's a very quiet part of the Esplanade and no traffic noise. The garden was securely fenced for our little dog.
