Waterfront Paradise - 6 Bedrooms, Perfect for Large Family Groups
Here's your personal invitation to 'live the dream'!
If you are looking for a luxurious and well-appointed home to share some time away with family just over an hour from the centre of Adelaide, then Tirowai is what you are looking for!
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE. OUR HOME IS SITUATED IN A QUIET RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO NEIGHBOURS.
Apologies but we will not rent our home to groups of young people under the age of 25.
Sorry but we are unable to accommodate pets.
Proudly located on Ngarrindjeri land and as seen on Selling Houses Australia, Tirowai is our little piece of waterfront paradise. Our seven bedroom contemporary home is perfect for two or even three families. We guarantee the only time you'll see the kids is when there are hungry!
Our gorgeous 400 square meter home was renovated in 2017 by Shaynna, Charlie and Andrew from Selling Houses Australia and we would love to share it with you.
The lovely kitchen has a huge island bench perfect for leaning on with a glass of bubbles in hand. The kitchen overlooks a spacious dining and living space with stunning northerly views out over the water. You'll find everything you need in our fully equipped kitchen and butler's pantry to ensure your stay is hassle-free including a Nespresso coffee machine (BYO pods). Just bring your food and wine!
The north facing terrace area is well set up for you to continue to enjoy your nibbles and drinks as you watch the kids having a ball on the stand up paddle boards and kayaks we provide. There's even a BBQ so you can get the husbands to sort dinner!
Down towards the water's edge you'll find a fire pit perfect a marshmallow marathon on cooler nights (BYO firewood), a large area of flat grass for the kids to play and don't forget the private jetty to fish and jump off.
Downstairs there are two bedrooms - one with a with a set of bunks (Bedroom 5) and the other with a Queen bed (Bedroom 6). A small but perfectly formed bathroom under the stairs services these rooms.
Upstairs is another living area that we've set up with the kids firmly in mind. Comfy sofas, bean bags, a huge TV, loads of DVDs and fun board games will provide a haven for them (and some quiet time for you) after a long, fun-filled day out on the water.
There are four more bedrooms on this level including an enormous Master with private balcony and beautiful views over the water. A King bed and massive ensuite with spa bath combine to ensure this will be the bedroom all the adults will fight over. 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' anyone?
Two bedrooms have a set of bunks and trundle bed in each and in Bedroom 4 you'll find a Queen sized bed. A small study on this level with a sofa offers an additional breakout space. There is a full family bathroom for these rooms complete with laundry chute! Every kid's dream! We suspect you'll have no problem getting the dirty clothes to the laundry on this trip!
Guests are required to bring their own linen for their stay. This includes bedsheets, pillowcases, bath and hand towels and tea towels. All pillows, duvet and duvet covers are provided. If you need to hire Linen, you could contact Victor Linen via their website.
In the massive garage you'll find everything you need to enjoy our breathtaking waterfront location... paddle boards, kayaks and of course life jackets. There's even a table tennis table AND pool table!!! You name it, we have it! An extra double door fridge/freezer situated in the garage provides extra storage for your food and drink also.
The free wifi we provide will enable you to endlessly taunt those unlucky enough not to be there with you via Facebook and Instagram with fabulous pictures of your Hindmarsh Island holiday. .
If you ever decide to want to leave the house, you'll find plenty to entertain you in the surrounding area. The beautiful township of Goolwa is five minutes drive away back over the bridge. Here you'll find cafes, restaurants, pubs, bakeries and retail shops including Woolworths. Every first and third Sunday of the month there is a Farmer's Market on the Goolwa foreshore where you can purchase locally produced items. Catch the Cockle Train to Victor Harbor and back again or head to Currency Creek for a spot of wine tasting. You could also explore the Coorong and the Murray River mouth. So much to see and do if you can bear to leave our waterfront paradise!
