Stayed Apr 13, 2026Lovely cottage, clean, quiet and comfortable. Well appointed with double hotplate, toaster, bbq, air fryer and other appliances. Similarly pots, pans and cutlery well catered as well as bathroom toiletries and cleaning agents. Very homely with a nice yard. All good.

Stayed Apr 16, 2025An adequate one bed, open plan room with good bathroom and general facilities. However ... to use the toilet, you must leave the room, go outside through the carport, to the toilet. Unsatisfactory, inconvenient, and potentially unsafe at night - and NOT mentioned in the property description. Both doors' security screen locks are broken. Outdoor BBQ was not clean enough to use. Dining table is 'high-set', with metal stools. Bed has bottom sheet plus a 'doona'. Overall, a disappointment, and poor value for money.

Stayed Mar 10, 2026Molly, my greyhound loved the open space to play. I think she was upset to leave as I don’t have a large grassed yard.A/c was good but Goolwa was chilly so only used for a short time on arrival.Only fault was the cutlery. Only two forks.Appreciated having scissors to use as I always forget to pack them.

Stayed Sep 23, 2025It was a great stay and helpful to extend a day at short notice. The layout of the cabin was quirky and it’s lucky we are not too fussed about tv as you had to peer over a high kitchen bench to see the quite small tv. The mattress was a bit lumpy after 3 nights and it wasn’t the greatest going outside to the toilet on a cold night. On the plus side the fully fenced yard was fantastic for our dog who just loved being able to run around the large yard freely. Great poster of the history of boat builders (we assume family) from the Goolwa area. Overall we enjoyed our stay thanks Nat
