Lovely Spot

Lovely little spot overlooking the lake. Very clean and all the facilities you need. Ideal for the two of us but enough room and bedrooms to bring back the grandchildren another time.

Islander Escape is perfect for families, young and old.

The Islander Escape is located in a quiet street right on the lake. The property is clean and tidy and has everything you need, including kayaks. Away from busy Victor Harbor if you want some R&R with lake views. Great for young and old.
