Sophisticated simplicity

The owner put their heart and soul into every details of this new property from the building to decoration, inside out. Felt very lucky to be able to spend two nights there.

Lovely comfy place

Very comfy house. Had everything we needed in a holiday home. Very comfy beds. Great well equipped kitchen. Plenty of space. Great backyard area would be great for kids. Close to the beach and Goolwa town. Nice having two bathrooms. All linen supplied which makes it easier. Great value for money.

Forget your bland, beige hotel rooms and step back in time to the 1830s in this charming, quirky retreat. Such warm and generous hosts, who happily share the rich history of their house, along with great tips to enjoy the here and now. Perfect location to unwind. If you want something unique, you've found the right place.

The perfect place to relax with the family

Clayton Bay Cottage is perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is lovely, so clean and everything has been thought of, kitchen has everything you need.The kids loved the back deck and having breakfast over looking the lake (we even got to watch the paddle steamer) and doing soem puzzles. Great place to stay and relax before going back to school. We will visit again.
