We didn’t realise when we booked we didn’t get our own bathroom, but we quickly rectified that. The bar was closed when we were there.

Heritage hotel right on the front of the beach
Pros:

This hotel is right opposite the main beach in Victor Harbor although most of the beach was covered with seaweed! Nevertheless it was convenient to both the causeway out to Granite Island and the towns main heritage buildings. It looks directly over the towns main bowling courts . The hotel is an heritage building and as such you have to accept that it is not luxury accomodation. The passage ways floors and corridors creak and the decoration and carpets are well worn. The host was nevertheless was very helpful on check in but we were unfortunately allocated a spa room on the first floor and this made it difficult to get our luggage to our room There is no lift on the premises so be warned. Location was ideal and a in house bar and restaurant was attached to the hotel.

Cons:

The hotel was too old and well worn for our taste. Access with luggage to the first floor was via a back door and a flight of stairs No lift . At 82 yrs old this was a real task we could have done without

Pros:

Great location with view across the bay and central for town amenities. Hotel has real character. We had shared bathroom which in effect was a separate bathroom as we had sole use

Cons:

Furniture and decor tired and need of TLC. Room had a musty smell which was slightly off-putting
