I love Port Elliot, too @Romla, as do my kids. We've stayed down there but mostly it's just been day trips. Berlinners at the main street bakery are always a favourite indulgence (have to get there before the queue goes down the street, though). In fact, I'm hoping that we're heading there today to look for whales - my little treat for this long weekend. We often finish the day with fish and chips (from the Victor Harbor fish and chip shop) eaten on the foreshore at Victor.
Our other alternative for this weekend was to head to the shack down near the bottom of Yorke Peninisula. A REAL shack in a backwater fishing town, built right on the dunes. Now that the kids are older, there's nothing to do but read books, walk on the beach, eat, play games, get out the bows and arrows, and kayak. Just wasn't sure that I could face the drive and being sociable to the extended family down there on a long weekend. It's funny - I used to almost dread it when the kids were tiny because it was so much work and trying to fit into a small space with so many people of different ages and ideas and everyone having different needs. Now it's so easy for me most of the time - just not at the moment.
