Robe

Just 90 minutes from Mount Gambier, this picturesque coastal town transforms from a local’s seaside village to a bustling and chic holiday hotspot come summer. Holiday makers flock to Robe to soak up the sun on long sandy white beaches and kick back in cosmopolitan cafes and glam galleries. Start your day off with a pick-me-up coffee and breakfast at Mahalia Coffee, sample the smorgasbord of local seafood on offer (Robe is famed for its crayfish) and wind down with a local brew at Robe Town Brewery. Browse boutique shops, stroll along Long Beach stretching 14km of sandy-white bliss or drive right on to the sand and spend the day enjoying the surf. Soak in the seaside scenery on a coastal walk and stop for a photo at the insta-famous Cape Dombey Obelisk.
