The Space:
Welcome to Swans Shorehouse, an original 1960s beach shack filled with character, charm and plenty of holiday memories waiting to be made.
Set right on the riverfront at Goolwa South, between Café Bombora and the family-friendly Adventure Playground, this is the kind of place made for slow mornings, afternoons on the water and evenings around the fire.
The home has a simple and comfortable layout with three bedrooms:
Bedroom 1 – Queen bed
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Tri-bunk with double bed below and single above
There are two bathrooms, with the second shower and toilet located in the laundry for added convenience.
Outside is where this shack really shines. Enjoy the expansive balcony, gather around the fire pit after a day on the river, or make the most of the space with a boat, kayaks or fishing gear. There is room to park a boat and caravans up to approximately 24ft.
Inside, the retro shack character has been kept intact, with Wi-Fi, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and a practical kitchen with the basics you need for holiday cooking. A BBQ is also available for easy outdoor meals.
Swans Shorehouse is a laid-back Goolwa escape for families, fishing trips and anyone who loves the simple pleasures of a classic coastal shack.
