This property was ideal for our family to share a great Easter getaway...including our dogs! Close to the Goolwa Lake for aquatic fun and far enough away not to be overrun by all the others doing the same. The large eating area and enclosed backyard were perfect! Booking was easy as!!
Pleasant family stay. Well set up for a dog. Clean and comfortable. Walkable to town centre and supermarket. A longer walk to the beach. Small but functional kitchen. An enjoyable stay
We had a lovely stay at Sea-Esta. Great location, a short drive to a beautiful beach, a great house and an enclosed ya d for our dog. Easy communication with our hosts. Would definitely recommend

Definitely recommend a stay at this accommodation.
Loved sitting on the front deck during the day and on the back deck with the brazier (wood supplied!) in the evening. Securely fenced off front and back. Very quiet neighbourhood. Walked to Goolwa Beach, Main Street of Goolwa and Bombora.
There is a great playground by Bombora for young children. It’s a place to stay if you want to relax and get away from the crowds.
One word is Awesome. Exactly what we wanted. Can’t beat Netflix in front of a wood fire. Perfect. Communication with the hosts was just the right level.
We highly recommend this property.
We felt like we came home to a little sanctuary every evening. It felt so safe and relaxing. The neighbourhood was quiet, the neighbours were friendly. The house was close to the beach and shopping amenities.
Our little dog enjoyed the safely secured yard and,
We were very grateful for our 'welcome box', fantastic shower rose and coffee machine on our arrival after an 11 hour drive.
Wonderful hosts and house. Thankyou.
It was exactly what we needed.
The chance to spend a family Christmas at Sea-esta was just wonderful. The welcoming treats were a beautiful touch and so appreciated. The home had everything we needed to prepare Christmas lunch, with the convenience of the shopping centre a few blocks away. The tranquil location of the home with the billabong and reserve directly across the road was amazing and created a wonderful sense of space and peace around us. Nina the border collie loved having Goolwa Beach just a few blocks walk away. Truly a superb location and set up. Thank you Barry and Kim for all your organisation, we would love to come back again.
I love this property. Just as it says in its post. Quiet location 10 min walk to beach. Huge backyard fully enclosed where my Labrador felt very at home.pizza oven and bbq were godsends x inside was incredibly clean and well cared for. X2 large smart tvs one in main bedroom. Free Netflix, Disney and foxtel. The view from our front was amazing for evening drinks. Thank you so much for having us and we will be back very soon. Can’t recommend this place enough

Enjoyed our holiday with our pets
It was wonderful to holiday with our pets and the house was in a good location for the shops, river and the sea.
The additional fees added to our booking AFTER we had booked this property was disappointing so I feel this property wasn’t great value for money. Kim was great with communication when I questioned the additional charges, however it didn’t take away the fact the final pricing was not transparent in the listing.
Overall though it was a lovely week away!

Thanks Denise for your review and we are very happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are sorry that you missed the information regarding the extra credit card and vrbo/stayz fees associated with the booking that we unfortunately have to charge separately as there is currently no way of incorporating these fees into the initial rates structure but we are working to fix this.
