Hawaii Court, West Lakes, SA 5021

Lovely water front properties many lucky enough to look over nature reserve. Many old 80's style brick with many being renovated. It feels like I am living in the country on a Lake yet I am only minutes away from the cinemas, shops and cafe's let's not forget about the beach only 2 mins drive away or the wonderful bike paths. Neighbors are friendly and always say hello everyone seem's happy to live here. I am also glad there are no sharks or anything that bites other than fish on my hook:-). The local bottleshop, renovated Pub with yummy food, Chemist & Foodlands (with a deli) is only a 10 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride. It's missing an upmarket wine bar with live accoustic music but that's just our taste. The best secret cafe on the water is Salted.

Living on Delphin Island poses some issues. Firstly unlike other parts of West Lakes like the Grange golf course end or Frederick road end don't expect strolls along the lake as it is nearly all private lake frontage meaning no access to the public. There is no quick stroll to the delicatessen or local food mart. There are no local shops and public transport is very poor. In order to get to the closest shops it is a long walk to West Lakes Mall hence most people drive. Neighbours tend to keep to themselves. Hawaii court is near the northern most end of the Island and hence it is socially a very desolate spot and the geographic issues mentioned above are most prevalent. On the Island the closer you are to West Lakes Boulevard the less you are impacted by the above mentioned.
So if you are planning on living on Delphin Island so you can get up in the morning and within minutes be walking along the lake and then stop at a cafe for a latte. Forget it. This is not the spot for you.
