our hosts, Yvonne and her daughter Rebekah, are delighted to share with you, this beautiful home in the historic town of Goolwa.

Our family has many wonderful memories in Goolwa and we hope the same will be true for you

Only a stroll across quiet Riverside Drive is the mighty Murray River. From the second storey balcony of our home, you will enjoy watching locals and holiday-goers heading into town for a morning coffee, or watch the comings and goings from the historic Armfield boat shed. And on a Friday evening you'll see the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club in action.

If it's water sports you're after, the boat ramp is only a moment's drive where you can launch your boat, kayak or even venture a swim, or simply find a spot on the riverbank and read a good book.

The Fleurieu Peninsula has an abundance of great restaurants and wineries. Our favourites are Bombora Cafe and Hectors on the Wharf; only minutes away by foot. Other local attractions include the Cockle Train, Fleurieu Distillery and Steam Train Brewery and seasonal art exhibitions. Nearby are the beautiful villages of Port Elliot, Victor Harbor and Middleton, home of the stunning Boomer Beach.
