The view overlooking Encounter Bay and Victor Harbor was serene and full of interest. The apartment was clean and exremely quiet. There is one good restaurant 5 minutes walk away, but a car is needed for any others, a 10 minute drive to Victor Harbor.

The rooms at the Bluff are a good size with plenty of space to store your things. It's a slightly older buildiung so some of the fixtures are dated but they work fine and were nice and clean.

Can’t fault the property. However the guests (father and child) were talking loud enough to wake us up around 9:30 pm. Went to bed early after a long 4-1/2 hours drive. Then a man, not sure if this is the same man started a conversation around 9:55 pm. And this morning the same girl was making too much noise to wake us up at 7:30 am.can’t sleep anymore.
