2 nights in Victor Harbour

2 nights in Victor Harbour. Beautiful views - adequate kitchen facilities, comfortable enough. A little dated and quite stuffy - needed to put a/c on overnight. Also for a state that is so dry, why not change the shower head to a water saving one and get rid of the spa bath.
