The town offers essential services including a general store, hotel, school, and sporting facilities centred on the oval and recreation ground, fostering a tight-knit community spirit. For broader services, residents travel to Naracoorte or Bordertown, while the broader Limestone Coast region offers the renowned Coonawarra wine country, Blue Lake at Mount Gambier, and Naracoorte Caves.
