Powered site for $38 a night and kids stay free, so should be a nice, cheapish short getaway.

such a great spot on the south coast, so much to do & see. Heading down that way in october.

Good bakery at pt elliot. The old small one, not the newer looking bigger place next door. Mind you, been a while since I've been there so my recollection of the area may be a bit off.

they make of the best donuts you will ever eat. Daughter lives in Adel, and if she is heading down that way, usually once a month, gets a box of couple dozen made up and then freighted over to me..24 hours later..

a lot of the regional towns have great bakeries. if i'm going through meadows i'll nearly always stop for some baked goodness. It'd be rude not to. Their honey logs are awesome. vanilla slice close to the best we've tried.

Agreed, spent 2 weekends in a row in the Victor/Pt Elliot/Goolwa region in late Feb/March.
We stayed in the Victor beach front park and walked around Granite Island and town, caught the tram on another trip and the cockle train return from Goolwa with a look around the markets and finished off with an hours jet ski hire from Hindmarsh island.
Horse shoe bay was our family holiday destination in the late 70's, early 80's, camped in the park and wandered around the area all day, so safe and sheltered for kids, hasn't changed much really, just a few modern apartments along the foreshore.
I play lawn bowls and often go down for tournaments and its easily the most picturesque club in the state.
