Victory Hotel

Fleurieu Peninsula


On the highway above Sellicks Beach, the Victory is an excellent pub, parts of which hark back to 1858. There are awesome views of the silvery Gulf St Vincent, a cheery, laid-back vibe and a beaut beer garden. Factor in inspired meals, an impressive cellar and wines by the glass and you'll be feeling victorious. Book ahead.

Three hillside cabins available too (doubles $150, or $165 including breakfast).
