About this property
Cosy retro weekender with far-reaching views
Situated in quiet Goolwa Beach, Farview shack is a traditional Aussie weekender that has been updated to provide a comfortable, relaxing base for your stay in the beautiful south coast region. Every window provides a different view of the surrounding area, from the hills to the lake and the sea. A covered deck along the front of the shack allows you to enjoy the views in comfort. Across the road from a park, with an easy 10 minute walk to the beach and a quick drive to local shops and the historic town centre, Farview is ideally located for those looking for a short escape or a longer stay. It has sleeping accomodation for 5 people with a separate bedroom and a sleeping nook off the main living area. The kitchen has been recently renovated and contains all you need to prepare your own meals. Reverse cycle air conditioning and TV/DVD are provided. Outside is a covered area and lawn in a local native garden, and ample parking space. Meditate by the tranquil pond and in winter stargaze by the firepit. With a décor that gives a nod to history but does not compromise on comfort, Farview will provide you with the quintessential Aussie holiday shack experience.

The house was clean, quirky with retro furnishings. Comfy bed, great views. Close to beach & shops. Could've done with a fan in main living area, but overall, well appointed.
Fantastic beach house in a great spot in Goolwa! Super comfy, fun retro decor, updated kitchen....with plenty of space (even a room with bunk beds available), great balcony to relax with a few wines and a cheese plate in the gentle arvo sunlight, and such a beachy chill vibe. Stayed here twice now and will again - recommend to anyone (solo, couple or family) wanting a coastal get-away in Goolwa!
We loved our stay
The house was just as described warm clean and homely and met our needs perfectly.. we enjoyed our walks to the beach each day as well
Comfortable shack with its quirky retro styling. We enjoyed listening to the sound of the surf, walk to the beach and views across Gawla and the Hindmarsh island bridge.
Cute little shack with everything we needed for a weeks stay.
Communication with Rebecca was great.
Highly recommended, we visit Goolwa often and will definitely look to stay here again

Thanks Victoria, we're glad you enjoyed yourselves :)
The property delivered what it promised. We loved the location with an easy walk to the beach and it made an excellent base to explore the Fleurieu Peninsula, the Coorong and beyond to the city and hills.
Affordable place in Goolwa, close to beach. It is retro as advertised (we enjoyed the dvd selection), but perfectly comfortable - the bed was great. We had a few issues with check in information not arriving and correct beds not made up but easily sorted.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Milne
We purchased the shack in 2017 and dubbed it 'Farview Shack' due to its lookout over Goolwa and surrounds. We wanted to keep its retro feel, but also make it clean and comfortable, so we have been steadily working on the property since that time. We love Australian native plants and have filled the garden with local plants and are gradually reducing the non-native species. It is a pleasure to watch the birds that are coming to enjoy this space. Rebecca was so inspired by the property and Goolwa that she wrote a mystery story, The Secret of Farview, which you can read during your stay.
