About this property

Surfers Reserve - Beachfront

With nothing but sand dunes separating the home from the shoreline of Middleton Beach, Surfers Retreat offers relaxed coastal living with sweeping ocean views. Unwind in the stylish living areas, cook in the fully-equipped kitchen, and enjoy alfresco meals on the wraparound deck. Explore Goolwa’s historic town centre, tee off at a local golf club, or meet native animals at Urimbirra Wildlife Park—all just an easy drive away. As night falls, gather around the fire pit for stories under the stars.

Nestled into the sand dunes of Middleton Beach, this stylish and spacious retreat offers modern comfort and tranquillity along the shorelines of the Southern Ocean. Surrounded by native gardens and hedging, it opens directly onto the dune reserve for a peaceful escape.

Inside, the downstairs living area features rich green velvet lounges, curated coastal décor, and a TV—ideal for relaxing after an active day. Upstairs, the main living area offers a deep navy sofa and panoramic views across the dunes to the ocean. Both living zones include smart TVs ready for streaming from your personal accounts (Netflix, Disney, Kayo etc).

The kitchen provides modern convenience for easy home cooking, complete with an oven, induction stovetop, Nespresso machine and pods, and a breakfast bar. Share meals at the round oak dining table as sea breezes drift in or dine alfresco on the wraparound deck with a BBQ zone and a relaxed outdoor lounge for some after-dinner chats—each space thoughtfully arranged to capture the views and coastal air. In the lush backyard, a fire pit with outdoor seating invites slow evenings under the stars. While the garden is unfenced, the secure decking areas offer a safe spot for pets when left outside.

At night, retreat to one of three cosy bedrooms, each with soft linens and leafy outlooks. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a queen bed and access to a spacious bathroom with a spa bath, walk-in shower, and toilet. Downstairs includes a second queen bedroom and a third bedroom with a tri-bunk and single trundle (please bring linen if using the trundle). This level also offers a second bathroom with a walk-in shower and toilet, and a laundry with a washer and dryer—ideal for longer stays.

Designed for a seamless stay, the home includes off-street parking and split system heating and cooling on both levels. Please note, the stairs may pose a risk for young children—a stair gate is available on request.

We are pet-friendly—one well-behaved, non-shedding dog is welcome with prior approval and for a $75 pet fee. Shedding dogs may be allowed if kept outdoors.

Great family friendly stay in a great location

This is a very comfortable and well equipped property at the Goolwa end of Middleton- a great view over the Sandhills to the sea and excellent for beach walks. The location made it easy to relax and unwind.

Relaxing getaway with picturesque views

Spacious and tastefully decorated. The only things we can fault are no tea towels, mouse poo near lounge (upstairs) and the shower heads. Overall, a wonderfully relaxing stay with close proximity to beach, and a feeling of seclusion backing onto the scrub.

Lovely home

A spacious home, relaxing view. The page implied that you could easy walk across the sand dunes, but as there is a fence you can't actually walk across it for a swim. It was
