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.

2 nights in Victor Harbour

2 nights in Victor Harbour. Beautiful views - adequate kitchen facilities, comfortable enough. A little dated and quite stuffy - needed to put a/c on overnight. Also for a state that is so dry, why not change the shower head to a water saving one and get rid of the spa bath.
