“Given the location of the property – the caravan park is down the road and it’s on the way for buses going to Kangaroo Island – it offers immense business potential,” Mr Martin said.
“The Old Mill stands out and is steeped in history. The owner wants to involve the local community as well. It would be the perfect venue for a monthly market where local craftsmen, gin makers, wine makers could showcase their products.
