We took a day trip from Adelaide, a new one...we should have spent two days in this pristine corner of paradise. Lush nature, wonderful cliffs and beaches, kangaroos, sea lions, koalas, and other animals roaming free in their habitat. The estate is a jewel. I recommend a one-night and two-day visit.
