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.

Room 208 for 2 persons. Lovely view , apartment had good facilities, self cater, nespresso machine, fridge, microwave,toaster, kettle. Local Whalers bar/diner attached limited opening. Victor Harbour walkable as is Granite Island or over hill behind Bluff. Didn’t use pool due to season but looked nice, well kept but could be busy in summer. Take trip by “Cockle Train” to Goowla makes a change. Bluff is nice for walking. Would I use apartments again yes but you may want to be more central for Victor Harbour & dining/drinking options.

I loved the apartment however, the room is orientated with the lounge facing away from the view, you had to sit at the table to see the view, how nice it would have been to sit comfortably admiring the view. The bathroom was beautiful but freezing cold, no heater.

Overnight Stay

We stayed overnight. A lovely studio room, quite spacious, very clean. Staff were lovely. Check in was quick. Bed was comfortable. We struggled with the tv at first, but finally got it sorted & working. Would stay there again.

Good value for money for an apartment with a small kitchenette, in a quiet part of town. Being on the outskirts of town, you had to drive to get groceries or to visit a pub/club for a meal and a few drinks. Definitely not walkable. The Whalers restaurant next door to the resort is quite nice but is a bit more expensive than the pubs in town.
