This is without a doubt the ultimate family destination - the Gold Coast may have all the theme parks you can imagine, but Greenhills is the South Australian answer - it has everything you could need to keep kids entertained for a day. Greenhills is open everyday of the year, except Christmas day, and August. Don't ask me what's wrong with August, I really don't know, maybe the staff all belong to some odd religious cult that doesn't work during August, it's definitely beyond me. There is everything here - from moon bikes to paddle boats, bumper cars and mazes, every variety of childrens play equipment you can imagine. The kids will have a ball here, and I absolutely dare adults to not enjoy themselves, too. It costs some $110 to bring the average family of four here - If you're thinking of coming more than three times a year get an annual pass, it's worth it.

(Disembarked/Embarked 12/18/24 WE @ 8:00am/6:00pm): No particular cruise terminal name on record as…read moreyou arrived at Pennington Bay via water shuttle! A friend and I were on Day 5 of our 12-Day Southern Australia Explorer cruise with Princess Cruises https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=QROVmppb8toYD0v-C7bi0w when we took a water shuttle into Pennington Bay before we disembarked for our second official port day - Kangaroo Island! Although this was my first time here, I was slightly surprised by the lack of a true port area or terminal. However, there appeared to be a real initiative to build up the port with hopes of attracting more tourist traffic and general commerce. Having said that, how was our experience with this entry way into Pennington Bay for our arrival onto Kangaroo Island!? PURCHASE There was nothing in sight to try and spend your money on even if you wanted to - 'nuff said. SERVICE The friendly cluster of staffers who greeted us at the pier were helpful as they directed us where to go to meet our tour buses. Upon our return, the outside port security guards were straight business and ushered us in while the Princess Cruises staff were wonderful as always. From start to finish, everyone we came in contact with was awesome - thank you! PARKING (FREE) I honestly didn't notice any onsite parking anywhere. Instead, at the end of the walkway from the water shuttle, there was a passenger drop-off/pick-up location just past the security gates. Beyond this area, it was the road that took you away and elsewhere - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A rather make-shift boat pier with the basic elements needed to be able to accept a water vessel, offload its passengers onto a stable pathway fortified by sheltering rock walls where you eventually ended up at the end of the path to a wider opening to randomly queue for a tour bus that whisked you away for some adventures. There was a structure possibly as an office or supplies that offered minimal shelter from the elements should you need it. Plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors while I didn't see any lights to fill in the rest. There weren't any TVs nor background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The lack of an actual cruise pier/terminal in Pennington Bay left little to be desired. I've taken many water shuttles into ports throughout my cruising life, and this was one if not the most sparse example to date. Again, there seemed to be an initiative brewing to make this a more major port, so hopefully that would happen in the near future. Otherwise, we arrived and left safely. Aesthetic-wise, your excitement was when your tour bus took you away from the area. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00AUD / 04.00USD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice... AMEX! 3.0 STARS

Normanville beach is the largest coastal settlement on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. The town is a lovely beach community that is slow in the winter, when I visited, but very active and popular in the summer season. Three small creeks, the Yankalilla River, Bungala River and Carrickalinga Creek, reach the beach, with their entrances usually blocked by sand. I saw many beautiful plants and rocks in this area. I hear this is a great area for fishing either by pier or boat. You can launch your boat from the main beach if you like. The main beach access is at Normanville where there is a large parking area. There are public toilets, a play area, and a small jetty that is nice to walk along. I was looking for whales, but didn't see any on this trip. This beach is dog friendly, my friends brought their dog without issue.

The beach itself is fairly small - it's basically where two steep slopes meet the shore so it's probably more of bush-walkers' beach than a sandcastle-builders' beach. But I still think families would love it - that jetty is just made for exploring!

Oh, and also as I mentioned, it is close to the beach, so there is that.

This is my ideal beach. Now, I do admit to some bias on that account because this is probably the…read morevery beach which has formed my idea of what a beach should be. However! That in no way detracts from its awesomeness. The sand is soft, the water is clear, the waves are the perfect height for boogie boarding and, while there is a rip, it's hardly a dangerous one just so long as you're aware of it. Visibility is such that parents could feel quite safe letting their kids have a swim by themselves. There has been a lot of work on re-vegetation along the sand dunes here too which adds an extra element for exploration as well as the water hole/creek just nearby. Because Carickalinga is still (relatively) undiscovered, standard beach problems like overcrowding and litter are not really an issue here. I feel I should warn any aspiring surfers that this is probably not the beach for catching sweet waves, although I spotted a few people in kayaks who looked like they were having fun.
