Suburb profile
Kanni is a welcoming smaller community in Loxton Waikerie, with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is noticeable, but the trade-off is space, calm and a community that knows its neighbours. The area suits established families and long-term locals, with plenty of young families in the mix.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Housing is well-priced for what you get: space, location and everyday convenience.
