Goolwa has a lot of lovely old buildings in addition to the more modern ones. We attended a market near the waterfront which was great to attend. There were lots of good crafts on offer. We went onto Hindmarsh Island which gave a good view of the Murray river mouth. We also went to the barrage. It is accessible until 4.00. You can walk out accross the barrage and watch Pelicans and other birds feed off the fish that came through the barrage. There was also a few seals basking in the sun at the barrage lock. Most enjoyable.

Goolwa is a lovely town with many old buildings dating back to the 1850’s and very well preserved. The Spirit of the Coorong boat trip is excellent. Great value and an amazing journey, captain and crew very knowledgeable. Interesting to find out how the Murray mouth is managed and the beautiful wildlife and vegetation that are protected. An insight into native Australian history including a welcome to country.

Great little town with beautiful little historic stone cottages. Nice and quiet with some nice little shops and some great eateries including Mother Duck which we always visit and a Thai restaurant. Love the native birds where we stayed as well. Would have gone to the beach if we had more time. Close to other great little towns like Port Elliot and Middleton.

Only a minute by car to Main Street . Takeaway foods and 2 pubs . Could walk if fit. Lots to see in local wharf area . Nearby drive to shopping mall . Stroll the little shops as you walk to wharf . Fish and chips excellent at nearest shop on the main road . Few nice shops for tourists to browse . An olde worlde feel to the town. It’s close to Victor Harbour for serious sightseeing /tourism . Visit Granite Island and see the draught horse drawn carriage . Plenty of street parking then walk to lunch , plenty of choices .

Some limited high quality dinner dining, although the Thai is very good. Not far to drive to Victor but again limited excellent dining options. Loved Ninos. Plenty to do and see, and walk and relax. Convenient for grocery, chemist and most other retail requirements. Beauty spa if book ahead in high season. Cinema at VH but not 7 days. Historic and cultural experiences abound.

What we liked - the cuteness of the 1905 cottage, the front garden in bloom looked gorgeous, the backyard is spacious and well cared for and a pleasure to explore. The continental breakfast provisions were ample, the whole property in and out is well maintained and the best part was the great location to Goolwa township which made for an easy walk. Onsite covered parking was a bonus. The peacefulness of

The studio was situated on the waters edge with a lovely view across to Hindmarsh Island. Just a 15 minute walk into Goolwa’s Main Street. It’s decor was superb and it was well equipped for a very comfortable stay. Loved its outdoor area with its Webber Q and bench and stools looking out on the boats moored in the small mariner.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Goolwa. You are within walking distance of everything in the town, but this is hardly needed as everything conceivable was provided. There were nice little touches like fruit in a bowl and a range of breakfast cereals provided. We will definately be coming back.
