Description
A comfortable house with a 'beach shack' feel, with 4 bedrooms, situated between Goolwa Beach and the Murray River foreshore. Near the South Lakes Golf Course, close to AquaCaf restaurant and the new Goolwa Aquatic Club community facility, Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club and the new Ballast Stone Restaurant at the Wharf, all in easy walking. This is a private holiday home, in a quality holiday area protected by native gardens & trees.
Our house continues to rate highly on this website purely by positive guest approvals and our attention to service. It is a classic, updated two-storey Goolwa Shack house at South Lakes, with four (4) bedrooms, one actually being a large open layout downstairs for multiple kids or separate family. Digital TV now activated.
Goolwa is a 70 minute drive from Adelaide by the Hills road (Mt Barker & Strathalbyn) or by the Victor Harbor Road. No need to bring much to have a great time.
[Guest comment in 2010: "We had a fantastic long weekend. It was very quiet and relaxing and the way you have set up the home meant we had everything on hand. The open plan of the house meant that we could have our own space but still talk to each other! On Sunday morning we went for a walk around the area and it felt like we had been away for weeks. It really felt like our holiday house, so thank you so much for sharing it with us." Ali & Brian, Adelaide]
[And June 2011: "We recently had to attend a family event in Goolwa and would normally use a motel for such a sudden visit but this was so much better. The instructions were foolproof, the place was spotless and had everything that you would normally reach for at home. We are home again now and it seems like it was with much less effort than usual and we can only put it down to being able to relax like we were at home."]
Nature nearby: You'll hear the rolling ocean, just beyond the golf course. Goolwa Beach has very rare on-beach access for careful 4WD adventurers to the Murray Mouth and beach fishing. The sheltered saltwater Coorong boat ramp at Beacon 19 is just a few minutes drive by a normal car down Barrage Road, beside the River, where you can fish in tidal waters nearer the Murray Mouth. Bird watchers will be amazed with the wild life. This is Five Star Wilderness without the eco-tourist hype, all just a few minutes from our house.
The house has comfortable space for 7-8 people, or for two flexible families by agreement. Comfortable modern furnishings and a big split system heat/cool air-conditioner unit are a feature. Widescreen digital TV and DVD too with our many quality film & music event DVDs available for your use. Toilet facilities upstairs and down. Under the balcony there's a big gas BBQ ready for dinner and breakfasts. Plus a Weber charcoal Kettle BBQ if you know how.
South Lakes is ideal for families to enjoy water sports and fishing. The water is flowing in the Murray and you have access to the seawater by the Barrage Lock now open to cruise to the Coorong and Mouth. Water skiing, parasail boarding, trailer-sailing or even r/c model boating is a feature of the protected lakes. You are just a minute from the water at Open House Goolwa.
Family Weekend & Getaways are easy...
Our family house is attractive and clean with 'shack style' relaxation in the garden setting of South Lakes, a traditional holiday place that so many remember.

If you don't want to cook, go to the nearby South Lakes Golf Club where you are welcome for food & pokies; or the popular and trendy AquaCaf and the Goolwa Aquatic Club, or the many town hotels, clubs, cafes and bakeries.
