We had an incredible stay! The house was beautifully decorated, and we all felt completely at home and comfortable throughout our time there. We highly recommend!

Adam thank you so much for your kind words you were an amazing guest (even when I kept calling you Darren I’m so sorry 😆)
We would be thrilled to welcome you back again another time.
Relaxing weekend away. Good quality linen and towels and well stocked kitchen. Comfy lounge area and great shower. Family enjoyed themselves and we would definitely return.
Very enjoyable time away despite the weather. Perfect house in great location. Has everything needed for relaxing time away.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay especially as you were so unlucky with the terrible storm during your stay (thankfully no flooding or power issues!) You were very easy to deal with and we would love to welcome you back again!
Wonderful family getaway, home is warm, welcoming and beautifully styled, luxury bed linen, amazing backyard and games room with just a short walk to the beach.
Highlights were the heated spa, welcome basket on arrival and games room.
Would love to come again sometime
We had a fantastic timestaying in this accommodation despite some pretty wintery Christmas weather, there is a nice fire place and plenty of things to do when things are too wet and cold.
Thanks Kylie!
Everything we needed and more for a lovely stay in Goolwa. The rumpus room was fantastic for teens and we enjoyed the luxury of the hot tub. Short walk to the beach for a run with the dog - he loved his stay too.
This is a beautiful property very close to the beach. We enjoyed the comfy bed and hot tub. The kids loved having their own space to watch tv and play games.
So great that we could also bring our fur baby and let her chill in the big, fenced backyard.

Thanks Hannah we are so glad you and your fur baby enjoyed your stay ☺️
Everything was super easy, clean and ready to go!
Plenty of space, close to the beach and such a great vibe from the moment we arrived!
Adults, kids and fur baby all loved it. We will be back. Thank you xx
What a great property! From the well equipped kitchen, cosy living area, super comfy beds and modern bathroom to the hot tub, games room and fire pit out the back this place was amazing.
This is all before mentioning how close the property is to the beach with access via a cute little walkway 100m from the front door. And from there, it is only a stone's throw to the Surf Life Saving Club and Kuti Shack.
Our hosts were so easy to deal with and very responsive.
A 10/10 stay. We will be back!

Thanks so much Alison. We hope you come back and stay with us again.
We drove through hail to stay here- grumpy teen and two bikes in tow. On arrival we were greeted by a box of goodies ( for kids and adults) a piping hot hot tub and a fire ready to light. The beds were comfortable, modern bathroom , nicely decorated house.Rumpus room with 2nd tv, foosball table, pac man console was excellent. Rode our bikes along the Encounter bike way which runs to Victor or Goolwa starts 1 house away. Beautiful surf beach 5 min walk away and Kutti Shack restaurant 20 min walk away. Would stay again

Jane you were an absolute pleasure to host and we would be delighted to have your family back again anytime!
We stumbled upon this beautifully renovated home in a great position for a break over the Christmas period. We were greeted with a hand written card, decorations, gifts, and a very well presented home with thoughtful touches throughout from host Kylie. The property has everything a family needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Very clean and extremely well appointed. Highlights - spa, games room, and outdoor areas. Too many others to mention but we will be returning to this little gem.
Thankyou Kylie and "Surfrider Lodge" for a wonderful week.

Thank you so much Dean - we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your Christmas stay. You were a wonderful guest and your family would be warmly welcomed again in future. ☺️
Our family enjoyed the most wonderful 5 nights staying at Surfrider. From long walks with our dog along Goolwa Beach to bike riding along the trail to Port Elliot, we couldn't have wished for a better experience, enjoyed by all. The kids were totally entertained in the gaming retreat out the back and spent hours on the trampoline with the basketball ring.
There were so many spots to enjoy the sunshine, whether sitting out the front of the property in the morning, enjoying a coffee or sitting out the back and relaxing in the well managed, pre heated spa.
The beds were super comfortable and we also appreciated the big screen TV's and fireplace in the evenings.
A special big thank you for allowing us a late checkout.
Thank you Surfrider. We hope to rebook again!!!

Easy walk to the beautiful beach. Nicely decorated interior. Very comfortable beds - we slept very well! Loved the game room. A hot tub was so relaxing! Highly recommended!
A great place to stay with kids and in an absolute picture perfect location, 1 minute from the beach. Has everything you need with games rooms, spa, fire pit and all the creature comforts needed for a great time away. Will be back if we can book in again.
Amazing games room out the back meant my husband and I could actually speak to each other. We could also hear the sound of the waves from the outdoor deck
Comfortable and beautifully decorated house with everything you need and more for a successful family beach holiday. Some of the highlights for us were the hot tub, well equipped rumpus room with arcade games, Netflix, wifi, top quality coffee machine, close location to the beach and the bikeway and outdoor warm shower so convenient. We had a couple of hot and humid days but air conditioners both in the rumpus and main house combined with fans in the bedrooms kept the house(s) cool. Host Kylie was welcoming and helpful and communication was quick and easy. Thank you for a perfect beach getaway!
We had a wonderful week away in this house!
Great location just a short walk over the sand dunes to the beach.
Bedding was very comfortable.
Our kids loved the back room and the Spa was very relaxing.
We really appreciated this property being dog friendly with an enclosed yard, doggie door and outside heated shower.
Excellent Family Holiday.
We had a wonderful time at Surfriders Lodge. It was perfect for a family of 3 and our Cocker Spaniel to get away for a week. Also suitable for bigger families. The house has everything that you need including an amazing games room for kids. Only a short stroll to the beach. Kylie’s communication was outstanding in the lead up to and during our stay.
Awesome house brilliantly located and gorgeous throughout. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into the layout of the house from a beach use perspective. You return from the beach down the side of the house, lean your surfboards in the surfboard rack and then rinse off the ocean and wetsuits in a warm outside shower on a great decking before heading past the spa and into the shower inside via the laundry door - absolute genius. We loved the open lounge and kitchen space, the sofa and was incredibly comfy. This is not a house used as a retirement village for someone’s second hand furniture or full of cheap ‘fantastic furniture’ on sale items, everything has been deliberately selected and it shows, this is a classy and comfy place. The games room is the cherry on top of the cake, what a great space for the kids to go and play the arcade machine, darts and watch movies after a long day at the beach. We also sail so it was great to have enough room to park a 6.5 m boat and trailer and to be a quick 5min drive to the lake was a massive bonus. Good quality towels and sheets make a big difference to the comfort of this house. And did I mention that the whole family came including our little dog, the yard is completely enclosed and full of grass.
Overall we rate this place very high, we will be back again, cheers for letting us stay!
