FAMILY FRIENDLY weekend getaway on the Yorke Peninsula

8/10 Good
"Generally all went well. The reverse cycle heater faultered near the end of our stay!The backyard was good for our cavoodle. The stairs from the living room to the back door needs a safety rail. I have advanced osteoarthritis and going up and down these stairs was a challenge."
