Clean spacious room, separate shower & toilet, Shame there were no windows to look out from our room, but ok as only one overnight. As shower door has to open outwards it drips water on floor. Need a mat here plus one in vanity area.

This is property is in a lovely position with great views overlooking Victor Harbor and pool area. We only stayed overnight in winter. Clean and tidy, simple cooking facilities are limited to 2 hot plates and microwave. Shower uses a curtain so floor can get quite wet. Good for a winter stopover, probably gets busy in the summer months.

The view was stunning. At night, I could have been in Paris, because the lights in the water were magical. The appartment was beautifully laid out, and quite cosy, desbite wintry conditions outside. Accesible to many lovely walks around the Bay, Granite Island and the Bluff.
