Pros:
-Good quite location with great views on the outside balcony
-Downstairs was great for the kids with the 2 sofas
-Upstairs was great for the adults :)
-Big dining table as well as the outdoor dining table meant that we could all comfortably sit and have our meals
- 5 BRs were plenty (4 downstairs and 1 upstairs) with the 5th bedroom not used at all. Bunks were a hit with the kids squeezing in there.
-3 bathrooms (2 ensuite) and 4 toilets were great which was another reason why we booked this place
-Fishing across the jetty was fun for the kids. We managed to catch some Red Fin Perch and saw some others catch Carp. Suggest you go early morning 8-10am.
- House was well equipped with cleaning products, toilet paper and hand wash in each of the bathrooms
- Plenty of towels and all linen provided
- Very Short walking distance to Bombora cafe and the playground.
Not really Cons but....
- As mentioned, kitchen is a bit tight and small when trying to cook for a large group but we managed and was well equipped (toaster, microwave, kettle, large fridge and dishwasher!!)
- Pans weren't usable as they were burnt but we had our own
- Barbeque outside didn't look clean and was a bit greasy so we didn't bother using it
- Balcony chairs had a lot of bird poop so we didn't use them at all (lots of pigeons on the roof during the day... can't blame them as it is a great view)
- Plenty of parking spots however be careful when turning in/leaving the property, as it is situated on a S bend and sometimes cars may not see you.
- 2 x Split Systems (1 upstairs and 1 downstairs) may be an issue in Summer mainly for the bedrooms however Standing fans are provided for the rooms.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay and this house happily accommodated the 3 families whilst being able to entertain a larger group also if needed. Great communication from the Elders Goolwa team also. Would definitely stay here again.
