“The hub of the Fleurieu”

Victor Harbor has traditionally been the central business hub of the South Coast. Outsiders often confuse Victor Harbor as encompassing the entire region, however Victor Harbor is one town in our region. From West to East there is Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor, McCracken, Hayborough, Chiton, Port Elliot, Middleton, Goolwa suburbs and Currency Creek. Victor Harbor has a public primary school on the border of McCracken and Victor Harbor and a large public high school that also hosts the Victor Harbor football, netball, tennis and basketball courts. The central business district is close to the foreshore and can get quite busy through peak holiday periods. Typically the ocean is quite sheltered in Victor Harbor, with little swell reaching the beach, hence why the local sailing clubrooms are located here. The foreshore precinct is a tourist drawcard with mini golf, carnival rides for holiday periods, huge playground, eateries, restaurants and shops with events and markets held in this area. The bridge across to Granite Island is very popular and people love exploring this small island. There are a huge amount of local sports available for all ages. Walking trails, bike tracks etc. There are some beautiful old buildings in the central area and a lot of new housing developments happening (typically small land sizes). The conveniences of Victor Harbor make this a very desirable place to live. Climate: Summer typically starts in January and ends in March - expect warm northerly winds and evening sea breezes. Normally it's cooler than Adelaide temps. Autumn is favoured by most locals - temperatures in the low 20's and little wind. Winter is very cold. Expect artic winds and rain (however most locals love this typical 'wintery' season). Spring is stunning with a lot of local flowering vegetation, can get windy and typically still a lot of rain. The region is stunning and Victor Harbor is a great place to live if you want to be close to everything and it's good to note that you're only an hour to Adelaide.
