The Admiral Riverside Studios - relaxed waterfront accommodation, offering panoramic views of the Murray River and Hindmarsh Island.

Enjoy the spectacular sunrises, birds, seals, and boats from the comfort of your Studio.

The Admiral Riverside Studios are situated on Goolwa’s premier riverfront address - Admiral Terrace - providing guests with sublime vistas across the Murray River, Goolwa Lake, Hindmarsh Island and the Barrage.

The Admiral Riverside Studios are independently located from the main house, which was built in the 1850s.

The Admiral Riverside Studios are tastefully and thoughtfully appointed, and within a few minutes walk to everything that Goolwa has to offer, including Hectors on the Wharf, Goolwa Markets, the Fleurieu Distillery, Wharf Barrel Shed and Signal Point Art Gallery.

Standing on the highest point of the Murray riverbank, this Goolwa landmark property is located adjacent to the wharf in the heritage-listed area of the township.

The Admiral Riverside Studio 2 offers a well-appointed studio with queen bed and ensuite, flat screen smart tv, minibar fridge and tea/coffee making facilities.

Settle onto the verandah and feel your stress melt away watching the never-ending spectacle of light and shadow playing across the water stretched out before you. Enjoy the thrill of the yacht racing, the beauty of the pelicans and the majesty of the Oscar W paddle steamer, or venture 5 minutes up the road to Bashams Beach and look for the whales.

Moor your boat at the public marina in front of the property or walk down to the wharf and jump on one of the many boats that cruise the Coorong and Lower Murray.

About Goolwa

Nestled on a small peninsula between the Goolwa Lake, mouth of the Murray River, the Coorong National Park and the stunning Goolwa Beach the charming river port town of Goolwa offers something for everyone whether you are a foodie, boatie, surfer, swimmer, fisherman, walker, kayaker, golfer or cyclist.

Throw out a rug and picnic on the banks of the river, or savour a glass of local wine, a locally distilled gin and whiskey, an amazing coffee, a gourmet cooked breakfast on the Goolwa Wharf, or sampling local seafood at the Kuti Shack on Goolwa Beach - it's all on your doorstep and only a couple of minutes walk away.

The unique combination of river, lake and beach on your doorstep provides endless options for summer aquatic adventures including swimming, sailing, wakeboarding, water skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, surfing, boogie boarding, kitesurfing and fishing.

Keen fishermen are spoilt for choice. Just throw a line off the wharf just 50 metres from your door to fish for Callop, Bream, Perch, Redfin, Murray Cod, freshwater shrimp and yabbies while watching the pelicans out-fish you! Or for the more adventurous, fish the barrage, Beacon 19, Murray Mouth, Coorong or surf-fish the 11km of pristine Goolwa Beach, fully accessible by 4WD.

A two minute drive (or 10 minute walk) from The Admiral Riverside Studios will have you at Goolwa Beach – one of the most beautiful and untouched parts of the South Australian coastline.

Head down the ramp and onto the beach itself and drive on the perfect white sand beach for 11kms to the Murray Mouth – the end of Murray River, the entrance to the Coorong and home to a colony of seals and numerous school fish which move freely through this unique and pristine channel which is not accessible by any other means.

The Admiral Riverside Studios are a perfect choice for a short or extended stay when visiting Goolwa and the Fleurieu Peninsula.

    Perfect accomodation for us to wake up to the sunrise on the water. Great location close to everything and the sail boats on Friday night on the river was fantastic. Was a great spot to chill on the balcony and take in the suns rays.

    The room was raised so we could see the river. A sweet, compact room was just what we needed as a base of operations for our weekend away. We ended up napping and relaxing outside Saturday afternoon, French doors open, enjoying the breeze, the sounds of birds, and even a train passing by. A good spot.

    Very small studio, which was fine, however no toaster for slice of toast and coffee in the morning. TV didn’t work in media room. Maybe control needed new batteries. Said there was a pool??? We bumped into a couple of friends on the wharf, but due to Studio restrictions we could not have them over for a drink. Beautiful outdoor setting, but no bbq to cook with, even if we were allowed. Overall beautiful and clean, perfect location, but probably wouldn’t go back. Too many restrictions ?
