Very well stocked with kitchen needs, books and games. We couldn't work the DVD, but didn't need it anyway, as it's a good area to check out the upper Yorke Peninsular from. The Community Club does great meals Wednesday to Saturday nights, but we suggest sticking to the Ozzie meals as their Asian wasn't as good. The fish and chips, schnitzel and steak were great. Overall a very quiet, lovely place to stay. This is our second time here. The neighbours are very friendly and helpful too. Certainly recommend this shack. ##### Barb S. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024
