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.

    Simple and tidy 70's decor shack which had all we needed- especially suited for a couple. Peaceful location with a great view across Goolwa from the verandah. As a side issue, hosts may like to consider installing a fly screen on the lounge sliding door, which we tended to use more as our entry/exit point instead of the main door near the queen bed (we had a few unwanted flies and mozzies enter when we weren't looking). Thanks for a great stay.

    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!

    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.

    The shack was all I needed and expected it to be for my week's stay. I will consider booking it again for my next trip to Goolwa.

    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.

    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.
