From the moment you arrive at Shore Thing, it’s easy to slip into holiday mode. Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Goolwa, this welcoming two-storey retreat has been designed for relaxed family getaways, easy entertaining and making memories by the coast.
Upstairs is where everyone naturally gathers. Step out onto the balcony, fire up the BBQ and settle into the outdoor seating as the salty breeze rolls through — perfect for long lunches, sunset dinners and lazy holiday evenings. Inside, the brand new kitchen makes catering for the crew effortless, with electric cooking and a dishwasher so you can spend less time cleaning up and more time enjoying yourself. The lounge invites you to kick back after a day of adventures, while the nearby bathroom offers both a bath and separate shower, with a separate toilet for added convenience.
When it’s time to rest, the master bedroom upstairs provides a comfortable queen bed and wardrobe, while the second bedroom is ideal for kids or friends, featuring two single beds and a tallboy for easy storage.
Downstairs feels like a retreat of its own. Two additional bedrooms, featuring one queen and one double bed, offer plenty of space to relax and recharge, while the additional shower and toilet, adjoined to the laundry area make longer stays easy and comfortable.. The second living area, complete with lounge and TV, is the perfect spot for kids to claim as their own — or for anyone wanting a quiet moment with a book or a movie.
Out the back, the large, fully fenced lawn becomes the heart of outdoor fun. Kids can run free while the adults relax, and the rear shed-turned-games room adds another layer of entertainment for friendly competitions and rainy-day fun.
The location ties it all together. A short stroll takes you to the Nature Playground on Barrage Road and the much-loved Bombora Café for your morning coffee. With the boat ramp just 600 metres away, it’s easy to launch for a day of skiing, fishing or cruising the river and ocean. South Lakes Golf Club is just around the corner, offering both golf and mini putt putt for all ages.
And when you’re ready to explore, Goolwa’s beaches, wharf, markets, breweries and historic attractions are only minutes away, putting the very best of the Fleurieu Peninsula right at your fingertips.
At Shore Thing, everything comes together — space for everyone, room to relax, and the perfect base for a classic Goolwa holiday.
