Best stay of Stayz!

Well thought out house setting plenty of space. The area is perfect and the scenery brilliant. Could not have asked for more and the owner Carole was the best to deal with and could not be more helpful! All in all a great stay and recommend highly enough. Cheers Angela

Lovely stay but check the fine print.

Walked in to a beautiful clean fresh accommodation and once down the long dark corridor a beautiful light filled room looking onto the water. When booking the host called because the property was erroneously available but she would honour the booking and eventually the advertised checkout. She informed us that they were too busy to make up the beds in the second and third bedroom. Seemed strange but we agreed that was ok. When we went to the Roos however, there was no linen or towels for those guest. On the ad there was clearly listed towels and linen under essential amenities; I do not book where I have to take y own linen. We contacted the host and were sent the fine print at the bottom of the long scree of property details that said bring linen or charged extra. We did eventually sort this out. Ad also said child friendly, fully fenced and pool but was no pool and completely open to the canal. Cleaning cost misquoted but as incorporated into overall cost was less of an issue.

Excellent location, new and clean!

I've booked this accommodation for my daughter's birthday, all of us had such a great time Kayaking in front of the house, we all love being in the river, it's so clam, this house is located at an enclosed area that no boat diving passes us. I can relax to have my children swim safely and most importantly I can be inside of the house looking out at the river when I have enough sun. This house is newly renovated, everything is so nice and clean. It's one of the best holiday home I've stayed, really felt like being at home. Owner of this house has all the kitchenware that I don't need to panic how to cook a meal with limited cookware. Excellent location, new and clean!

Spectacular home away from home

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this beautiful, comfortable home with everything you could possibly need. The views are spectacular and my boys loved the kayaks and fishing. The home is beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. Communication with the host was the best we ever experienced and we highly recommend staying at True Blue.

Paradise on the Quay

The changing colours on the water as the sun sets is very special. The house was comfortable and warm but the view outside the family room was the extra bonus. We used the kayaks and the paddle board provided and hired e-bikes in Goolwa to zoom around on. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Many thanks, Wendy

Relaxing getaway

What a great house and location. We stayed for a week with our young children (5 & 8) and really enjoyed the time. The view from the family room is superb looking out over the back yard and water. We were able to walk to the end of the garden, hop in the kayaks (supplied) and go for a nice paddle. The 2 living areas came in handy, both with tv’s but the lack of internet was a bit of a let down. A short drive into Goolwa and we were able to catch the Cockle Train to Victor Harbor, which the kids loved. We also visited the Goolwa Animal Farm. Plenty of great dining options around too. Communication from the host was very good. Highly recommended.
