About the host
Hosted by Miriam
We have been hosting holidaymakers in Goolwa for 5 years, previously at another property. We are excited to share our beautiful historic cottage with guests who love charm, character, history, nature, and all the wonderful adventures Goolwa has to offer!
Why they chose this property
We love the location- views of the water, few steps to the cafe, playground, local public BBQ, and a short wander to the main street and wharf area. We also love the historic stone cottage and want to take good care of the old girl.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is one of the oldest in Goolwa. If only the walls could talk!
