Our stay at St. Brigid’s was very peaceful. The old church is well-equipped and tastefully decked out. I highly recommend this beaut retreat for a quiet, relaxing break.Loved it and will be back.Thanks Sarah.
We enjoyed our stay at the "little church", the interior is designed tastefully, the new bathroom is luxurious. Everything was comfortable and perfect for our short stay. We would defintely return.
Very keen to rebook the accommodation at a later date, especially in winter.

Hi Chris
Winter is a lovely time to stay, fire is super cosy and excellent for cooking up a pizza or stew in the baker’s oven
Glad you enjoyed your stay
This place is perfect! We enjoyed every moment. Cooked a beautiful meal both nights. By the fire one night & letting the cool ocean breeze for thru three next. Review would be to long to list all that we liked about St Brigid's... everything!
The house was cute, cosy and relaxing. It was right by the beach and very quiet. The bath was lovely. Goolwa has plenty of places to eat and drink, though we spent our evenings by the fire with cheese and wine. We loved our stay.
Tucked in behind the sand dunes and just a short walk to Goolwa beach. Big open plan living area, great mezzanine bedroom area with some views to the ocean, brilliant big bath and a quiet area sheltered from the coastal breeze outside out the back (with another out door bath). A great stay and highly recommended.
