The property was amazing, lots of little well thought out touches made it super comfortable and homey. The popcorn machine was fun (I ate way too much!)

we need to go to kangaroo island in the morning. This is a perfect place to stay the night before as it is 45minutes drive with no traffic. The view is amasing and the room is quite large. We wish we can stay there longer.

Cheryl greeted us upon arrival, and she was very welcoming and helpful. The place was excellent for a quiet night’s stay away from the hustle and bustle of Victor Harbor. Still very close driving distance to shops and attractions.
