The view overlooking Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor was serene and full of interest. The apartment was clean and exremely quiet. There is one good restaurant 5 minutes walk away, but a car is needed for any others, a 10 minute drive to Victor Harbor.

The rooms at the Bluff are a good size with plenty of space to store your things. It's a slightly older buildiung so some of the fixtures are dated but they work fine and were nice and clean.
