The views 🄰
Enjoyed our stay, loved the grassed sites and the views were amazing. Can be a little challenging to get vans in.

Great space and views. Probably would have liked to be informed that the portables were locked beforehand as the walk to the other toilets was a bit hard at times for my wife. But the place is amazing and we loved the views

The sites are exactly as pictured, lovely green grass. Very clean ammenities and honestly a view that has to be believed! Our host was great, showed us our site, gave us a quick rundown and then left us be. There was a school camp on in the adjacent camp area the day we arrived and they went home the next day, but they didn’t cause much noise or any trouble. However, we aren’t the sort of touring campers to hang around camp. We like places that are scenic to wake up to, secure to leave your van etc while out exploring and something nice to come back to for a cook up & shower. My family of 4 plus one happy border collie dog, had a terrific 3 night stay enjoying Victor Harbour and 2 day trips from our lovely base camp to McLarenvale and Hahndorf. Thank you Cooinda and for being pet friendly.

We booked Cooinda Retreats as there was nothing else available in Victor Harbor, and I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed on site 2A, which was enclosed and felt private, with beautiful views out to the ocean — a lovely bonus. We’re not usually fans of portable toilets and showers, but they did the job. The container in the shower kept everything dry, which was a thoughtful touch. However, the light in the shower didn’t work, and the toilet seemed to run out of water — a bit of an issue when it comes to avoiding splashback. Interestingly, we seemed to be one of the few using the portable amenities, as most people wandered off to use the main ablution block attached to the retreat. While the curators encourage guests to raise any concerns, I didn’t bother this time, as they hadn’t responded to me previously via the Hipcamp app. Overall though, it was a pleasant stay — simple but all we needed for a one-night stopover.
