About this property
2 Shore Ct - Shore Thing
Summary:
From the moment you arrive at Shore Thing, it’s easy to slip into holiday mode. Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Goolwa, this welcoming two-storey retreat has been designed for relaxed family getaways, easy entertaining and making memories by the coast.
Upstairs is where everyone naturally gathers. Step out onto the balcony, fire up the BBQ and settle into the outdoor seating as the salty breeze rolls through — perfect for long lunches, sunset dinners and lazy holiday evenings. Inside, the brand new kitchen makes catering for the crew effortless, with electric cooking and a dishwasher so you can spend less time cleaning up and more time enjoying yourself. The lounge invites you to kick back after a day of adventures, while the nearby bathroom offers both a bath and separate shower, with a separate toilet for added convenience.
When it’s time to rest, the master bedroom upstairs provides a comfortable queen bed and wardrobe, while the second bedroom is ideal for kids or friends, featuring two single beds and a tallboy for easy storage.
Downstairs feels like a retreat of its own. Two additional bedrooms, featuring one queen and one double bed, offer plenty of space to relax and recharge, while the additional shower and toilet, adjoined to the laundry area make longer stays easy and comfortable.. The second living area, complete with lounge and TV, is the perfect spot for kids to claim as their own — or for anyone wanting a quiet moment with a book or a movie.
Out the back, the large, fully fenced lawn becomes the heart of outdoor fun. Kids can run free while the adults relax, and the rear shed-turned-games room adds another layer of entertainment for friendly competitions and rainy-day fun.
The location ties it all together. A short stroll takes you to the Nature Playground on Barrage Road and the much-loved Bombora Café for your morning coffee. With the boat ramp just 600 metres away, it’s easy to launch for a day of skiing, fishing or cruising the river and ocean. South Lakes Golf Club is just around the corner, offering both golf and mini putt putt for all ages.
And when you’re ready to explore, Goolwa’s beaches, wharf, markets, breweries and historic attractions are only minutes away, putting the very best of the Fleurieu Peninsula right at your fingertips.
At Shore Thing, everything comes together — space for everyone, room to relax, and the perfect base for a classic Goolwa holiday.

Our stay in Goolwa was excellent.
The property was ideal.
It was immaculate, well furnished and in an ideal location.
I could not fault the check in/ out system.
I would recommend stayz.
Clean, great location and the entire upstairs has been recently renovated. Lovely quality linens & comfy beds. New modern Kitchen has everything you need, There was an issue with the oven, so we were unable to use it but Elders came yo the rescue & dropped off an air fryer to get us through.
We had 4 adults and a little dog stay and everything about the property suited us perfectly. It had everything that we needed from the bright kitchen to 2 showers and toilets to the deck and a large and tidy back yard
This was a very clean, we'll equipped property with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The property has great space for everyone to spread out, and it was very well decorated with a very beachy feel. We have stayed in a few places in Goolwa and this was the best!
Great views from the deck and close to Barrage road made for an easy stroll into the town centre.
We definitely plan on coming back.
The house had a fantastic layout and plenty of room. Homely decor with comfy beds and couches. The deck was fabulous to sit and watch the river and relax. It has a great secure backyard for children and furbabies. The games shed with ping pong and pool tables was an unexpected bonus wgich we loved and got lots of use out off. Would definately stay again
Comfortable, well equipped house. Decking with river views
We had a relaxing summer break in this spacious and mostly renovated holiday house. New kitchen and bathroom - a real treat. Enjoyed sitting on decking for our meals and evenings. Very peaceful

Everything that you could need was available (possibly another frypan would be helpful

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The house was lovely, great location near to the water, a playground and a restaurant/cafe...perfect for our family weekend away
This was our first time at 2 Shore Court and we were very happy with our accommodation. The layout of the home is great for containing noise, there were some lovely views, the street was very quiet and the location in general was very convenient to all our favourite places.
