A great beach home with wonderful views. We had a very relaxing couple of days and caught lots of fish and squid. We loved that our dog could come too. Only problem was we had to leave....
Thank you Guy.

Smooth Sailing is a wonderful beach front property & is ideally located for sightseeing the rest of the area.
Accommodation is very clean, well equipped & best of all Dog friendly!
We have recommended it to many already & shall return for more visits in the near future.
Thanks Julie & Guy for a great stay.

Our stay in Smooth Sailing, with my mother visiting from the UK, was a wonderful experience - she was entranced by how the pelicans flew up to her on the beach and posed for many photographs! The views from the deck were so restful, and the lack of a back fence to allow absolute beach front views, and access, from inside and out a fantastic idea. I also loved having the 2 main bedrooms with patio doors opening straight to the deck and beach. A peaceful stay in a beautiful spot. Thank you!

Our group had such a relaxing few days, sitting out on the deck enjoying the view. What a perfect spot!
House is lovely, perfectly appointed,& clean. Plenty of space, & we loved that our four legged friends could join us- they loved the beach at the doorstep as much as we did!
If only we could have stayed longer, thorouly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful getaway! - Highly recommend. Very relaxing. House was beautifully appointed, and very clean with everything you could need for a relaxing break. Ideal location, with the water only metres away, and a short walk to the pub and deli. Guy was very easy to deal with, and we would not hesitate in booking another holiday at Smooth Sailing. Thanks again.

A home away from home, comfy yet very stylish. Idylic setting, right in a quiet, safe bay.
Our children roamed the beach and played for hours.
We loved it; room for a family plus more!
We will be regular seasider's in the smooth sailing home.
Thankyou x

We have stayed at many privately owned holiday houses through South Australia.
Guy's place at Coobowie was perfect for position, cleanliness and excellent facilities.
Guy was easy to deal with online and the whole process was easy to sort out over the internet.
The whole family give this place and lower YP two thumbs up. Great effort, lovely people.

A perfect location with the waves lapping only metres away! Choose to do nothing at all or explore the beaches and coastal towns nearby. A very comfortable home with sensational views of the ocean. I only wish my stay had been longer and the dogs concur! Thank you Guy and Julie for allowing me to share your fabulous home.

Oh the serenity Darl! What a beautiful and peaceful location. Being first timers at Smooth Sailing, we had only booked for several nights and truly wished we'd stayed longer. It was wonderful to find a beach house right on the beachfront where the views were great and we could chill out on the front verandah overlooking the bay or stroll on the easy walking beach. Everything was spick and span inside, comfortable with a tidy and safe back yard for the pets (with Guy's approval of course). We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Upon arrival, it was lovely to draw back the curtains on the large glass windows/sliding doors in each room to reveal the wonderful panoramic view of the bay. Sinking into the lounge chair I first noticed how clean & tidy it was with all the mod cons you could hope for. Over the next few days we enjoyed many strolls to the waters edge and counted 7 different bird species from the house along the way. We walked along the beach to the general store and strolled back eating some of the nicest hot chips I've had for ages. Every day was like a lazy Sunday afternoon, staring out from beyond the glass watching the tide come in & out & the turning of the windmills in the distance. The whole experience was peaceful, quiet & relaxing. Thank you Guy, for such a wonderful opportunity that would otherwise be beyond our means. Most important of all, thank you for allowing our little four legged friend to enjoy it all as well
