About this property

3BR Renovated Coastal Home – 2 Living Areas, Deck & BBQ, Near Murray River | Ideal for Extended Stays

Newly renovated, three-bedroom coastal retreat in Goolwa, just minutes from the Murray River, wharf, and Goolwa Yacht Club. Two living areas, including a second lounge with sofa bed and deck access, plus an upgraded outdoor deck with pergola and BBQ. Free Wi-Fi, two Smart TVs, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen throughout. Self-check-in for an easy arrival, close to cafes, boutiques, and galleries. Well suited to families, groups, or extended stays for work.

You and your group will have the entire home to yourselves throughout your stay.

Goolwa Blue Escape puts the town's river life right at your doorstep, with a newly updated main bedroom, open-plan living, and space for the whole group to settle in. The renovation has brought a fresh, modern feel throughout, while keeping the relaxed, easygoing character that makes Goolwa such a popular spot on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The main bedroom has a queen bed and a newly renovated private ensuite, with a second queen bedroom and a third room with two single beds. A second living area adds a sofa bed with direct deck access, giving extra flexibility for larger groups. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is bright and connected, fully equipped for cooking and entertaining, with reverse-cycle air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, and a DVD player. A second Smart TV is set up in the separate living area. The main bathroom has a bath and shower plus a separate toilet, and the ensuite includes a shower and toilet.

Outside, the upgraded deck and pergola are set up for BBQ dinners, relaxed brunches, or evenings outdoors, with easy access from both living areas. Self-check-in makes for a simple, flexible arrival.

Nearby, you can cruise on the historic Paddle Steamer Oscar W, visit Steam Exchange Brewery, browse exhibitions at Signal Point Gallery, or explore Goolwa's cafes and boutique stores.

Local Convenience – Perfectly located in Goolwa South, the property is just a few minutes’ walk or short drive from the Goolwa Beach, South Lakes Golf Club, and the Murray River foreshore. Cafés, restaurants, and shops in the Goolwa township are all easily accessible.

The historic Cockle Train also runs seasonally between Goolwa and Victor Harbor – a charming way to experience the coast.

Driving – A car is the most convenient way to explore the region. You’ll be around 5 minutes to Middleton, 10 minutes to Port Elliot, and 15 minutes to Victor Harbor. Adelaide is about a 75-minute drive via the Southern Expressway.

Cycling & Walking – The flat landscape makes walking and cycling enjoyable. You can cycle along the Encounter Bikeway, which links Goolwa to Victor Harbor via stunning coastal scenery, or simply stroll to the beach and riverfront.

Day Trips – From this address, you’re well-positioned to enjoy the best of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Visit local wineries in Langhorne Creek, explore Hindmarsh Island and the Coorong National Park, or take a scenic drive to Cape Jervis to connect with the Kangaroo Island ferry.

Prefer to explore on foot? Take a relaxed 15–20 minute walk to nearby parks, the riverfront, and local cafes. The picturesque Encounter Bikeway and scenic walking trails are also close by for those who enjoy the outdoors.
