About Robe

Robe is located on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, 340kms south east of Adelaide and 580kms north west of Melbourne. The heritage centre of seafood, wine and coastal delight, Robe is the preferred destination for visitors who enjoy a relaxing coastal retreat that offers fresh local gourmet produce and wine.

Visitors can enjoy surfing, natural walks, fishing and four-wheel driving along Robe’s long beach, or enjoy some of the gourmet delights in classy cafes and restaurants. Or travel further a field and visit some of the nearby wineries such as Cape Jaffa, Mount Benson, Wangolina Station and Waterhouse Range.
