From the host

A fishing mecca for those who wield the hook & line, the bay is the ideal playground for all things to do with the sea. Notably, the original Cape Jaffa Lighthouse was historically relocated to the Kingston foreshore and is a hop, skip and jump from where you are staying. Stroll on down and take a fascinating tour that will all the more endear the lovely house you're staying in to you and yours.


Best of all, Kingston SE is a great base to explore what was known as the Shipwreck Coast. Meander through the Mount Benson Wine region, with its award-winning delicate, cool-climate, maritime-influenced wines, on your way to the sensational coastal township of Robe. Its cafes, stunning short walks/beaches, culture and shopping await your perusal.
From there it's over to Beachport for stunning sunsets out over the historic pier as you enjoy tasty pub fare.


And when you're ready to head inland a bit, the rural charms of perfect Penola will be a fine day out. Its great antique shops and historic precincts are sure to entice you before you drive to experience the splendid boutique wines and tasty nibbles of the Coonawarra wine region.
