A beautiful property, in an amazing location. The view of the lake was stunning and the area was really peaceful. So close to the beach and everything that Victor Harbor and surrounds have to offer.
Fantastic home and outside entertainment area, protected from the wind. Comfortable beds. Functional floor plan with each bedroom having bathroom access. Large open plan living, dining area, overlooked by the kitchen, facing the lake. Good value for money. Would recommend this property.
