About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

GoolwaGettaway Luxury Home by river- sleeps 14 in 10 beds

Enjoy Luxury Accommodation just metres from the water’s edge as you relax and enjoy the water views through the full width windows. A large open plan entertainment and dining area makes a great location for a relaxing holiday or for celebrating a special occasion with family and friends.
5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms ensure up to 14 people can relax in style.

WiFi & Netflix are available and there is also a home theatre with 75” TV with Netflix and DVD's for adults & kids

A well equipped kitchen with Aldi coffee machine and large outdoor BBQ means you can entertain in style or, if you prefer to eat out, the highly acclaimed Bombora restaurant is only 100m away.

Goolwa beach is a great spot for surfing or cockling and if you have a 4WD you can drive on the beach all the way to the Murray Mouth. If you’re a golfer it’s only 300m to Goolwa South Lakes Golf course.

Nearby there is plenty for the kids to do with a new adventure playground and safe swimming area or they can play table tennis or boules at the house.

There is plenty for all the family to do in Goolwa, the first Cittaslow town in Australia. The Cockle train runs daily to Victor Harbor during school holidays or go for a ride on the Oscar W paddle steamer or explore the Coorong by boat tour or kayak.

Further afield there is heaps to do exploring the Fleurieu Peninsular and it’s nearby towns.

We’re confident you and your family or friends will have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday at GoolwaGettaway.

Excellent venue for family holiday

We appreciated the living area. Lots of seating inside and out which suited us well for eating together, playing games, and relaxing. The home theatre was also popular. There are good walking tracks in the area e.g. to the bird hide. The beds were comfortable.Kitchen facilities were excellent. Good views. Air-conditioners helped to cool us in the hot weather although evaporative increased humidity.

The Best Time

Six old high school mates having an annual catch up via a golf trip. The accommodation was outstanding. The location could not have been better with golf course and cafe a short walk away. Town close by for meals if needed. We will be going back - nothing is more certain.

Such an amazing beautiful house set in a lovely location.

Owners of this property were absolutely amazing they made contact with us before our stay and gave us all the details we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The house was amazing big kitchen and living areas. The media room was a hit. Very clean and tidy will definitely be going back to this lovely house. Thank you Mike and Jill for hosting your holiday home out to us.

A wonderful place to stay even with bad weather!

A very well positioned, stocked, and comfortable house for the extended family over Christmas week. Mike and Jill have set up a home away from home (and a home with media room, table tennis, music system, etc. at that!). The weather was awful but we had lots of areas where we could come together for games, or go off for some quiet time. Would recommend this house to anyone wanting a relaxing time away - wherever the weather.

Fantastic stay in Goolwa

Well appointed home in superb location. Did not disappoint. Smaller bunk bed bedrooms slightly crammed for space but fine for a short stay. Main bedrooms were great. We had 11 adult men staying in the house on a golf trip so the one shared bathroom, toilet & shower was a challenge at times. Kitchen, lounge & dining areas were all fantastic.

Simply the Best!

We had a group of friends, my partner, and our daughter stay over new years to bring in 2024. We were all blown away with the place and all of the amenities on offer. We felt completely at home and everything was so seamless. The rooms were absolutely lovely and the bathrooms were so clean. The whole layout of the house worked so well for a large group and the seating as well for everyone was a huge plus. We really valued this stay and we hope to be back again to maybe bring in 2025! Definitely book this place! It was simply the best!

Amazing house, great location, everything you need- for adults and kids

Amazing property, we stayed in October with 3 families, each with kids ranging from 2 years to 12 years. There was plenty of space for everyone, and so much to keep the kids occupied- theatre room was a hit, as was the toy room, table tennis table, puppet theatre, backyard and cubby house. The kitchen was large enough with all the equipment we needed to cater for a large group, and plenty of spaces to sit and relax. Couldn’t ask for a better location, literally across the road from one of my favourite playgrounds, a great spot for the kids to swim, and boat launch. Would not hesitate to recommend this property, and would love to come back again!

Immaculate views from a spacious home

Our group of 12 stayed here and it was an excellent experience! We enjoyed walking along the waterfront when the weather permitted, and the views of the water from indoors when the weather was a bit more windy too. The house was very well stocked with kitchen equipment, bedding, and entertainment options. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again! Excellent hosts - thank you so much.

The property is very well equipped with lots of cooking appliances, coffee machine, BBQ, TVs, amazing laundry, etc. It really does have everything for a great stay.
