Full of charm, character, and a few quirks, The Summer Lodge on The Esplanade offers a truly unique Victor Harbor beach holiday. With stained-glass windows, high ceilings, timber floors, wide hallways, and ocean views just across the road, this grand residence is rich in old-world appeal.
Perfectly located, it’s just a short walk to local pubs, cafes, shops, and Granite Island—close to the action but tucked away from the bustle of the main street.
Step through the wide entrance to discover cozy window seats, spacious lounges, and a formal dining area for memorable group gatherings. French doors lead out to a covered front verandah with a gas BBQ and extra-large dining table—an ideal spot to watch the world go by along the Encounter Bikeway.
The generous eat-in kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven and cooktop, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, and all the essentials. A second dining area offers a relaxed spot for breakfast or casual meals.
The home stays naturally cool during summer thanks to its thick walls—open the windows and enjoy the sea breeze. There’s a modern bathroom, an older-style second bathroom, a separate toilet, and a laundry with washer, ironing board, and an extra fridge.
Spacious, stylish, and wonderfully nostalgic—The Summer Lodge is a true coastal gem.
