Location is an easy walk to the wharf or main st. Can be a little noisy as it’s near a main road but didn’t impact us much. Apart from communication challenges (which may well have been the booking app) was a very pleasant stay. ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gilbert Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Great House ##### Gilbert Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Marie Feb 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved the property, 🐜 🐜 🐜 were a bit of a problem.

The location is great for either staying around Goolwa, or exploring some of the other sites along the coast. The bed was comfortable, kitchen super well stocked with everything you need, and the fireplace(s) are a great edition for those colder nights. Couldn't fault this place at all. Roger is also a lovely host, and the attention to detail and instructions around the place was a special touch. ##### Sophie Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Maydena Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Maydena-Hotels-Maydena-Lodge.h111400449.Hotel-Information) > - [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > - [Parklane Motel Murray Bridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Murray-Bridge-Hotels-PARKLANE-MOTEL-MURRAY-BRIDGE.h15285748.Hotel-Information) > - [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > - [Griffiths Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Burra-Hotels-Griffiths-Cottage.h24157016.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Haven Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Haven-Lodge.h2616623.Hotel-Information) > - [Kangaroo Island Seaview Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingscote-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Seaview-Motel.h890230.Hotel-Information) > - [Cape Jervis Accommodation & Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Jervis-Hotels-Cape-Jervis-Accommodation-Caravan-Park.h9627435.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > - [Euston Club Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Euston-Hotels-Euston-Club-Motel.h9628644.Hotel-Information) > - [Rydges Pit Lane Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tailem-Bend-Hotels-Rydges-Pit-Lane-Hotel.h22683975.Hotel-Information) > - [Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Pullman-Port-Douglas-Sea-Temple-Resort-And-Spa.h1772601.Hotel-Information) > - [Paddle Steamer Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Swan-Hill-Hotels-Paddle-Steamer-Motel.h9625042.Hotel-Information) > - [Peppermint Ridge Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-Peppermint-Ridge-Retreat.h9625852.Hotel-Information) > - [Bunbury Hotel Koombana Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Bunbury-Hotels-Bunbury-Hotel-Koombana-Bay.h32734332.Hotel-Information) > - [The Australian Hotel St George](https://www.expedia.ca/St-George-Hotels-The-Australian-Hotel-St-George.h27257162.Hotel-Information) > - [Sans Souci Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Ingham-Hotels-Sans-Souci-Apartments.h102001856.Hotel-Information) > - [Nowra Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nowra-Hotels-Nowra-Motor-Inn.h9240827.Hotel-Information) > - [Boulevard Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stanthorpe-Hotels-Boulevard-Motel.h7073631.Hotel-Information) > - [Goondi Hill Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Goondi-Hill-Hotels-Goondi-Hill-Hotel.h36921887.Hotel-Information) > - [Abode Hotel Malua Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Batemans-Bay-Hotels-Abode-Hotel-Malua-Bay.h46909855.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blyth Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Blyth-Hotels-The-Blyth-Hotel.h19639111.Hotel-Information) > - [Mannum Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mannum-Hotels-Mannum-Motel.h6233237.Hotel-Information) > - [Twin City Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Albury-Hotels-Twin-City-Motor-Inn.h17507416.Hotel-Information) > - [100 year old Renovated Stone Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Clare-Hotels-100-Year-Old-Renovated-Stone-Cottage.h69673902.Hotel-Information) > - [Mud Hut Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Coober-Pedy-Hotels-Mud-Hut-Motel.h5692818.Hotel-Information) > - [Hunter Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-Hunter-Valley-Resort.h16549.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lane Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-The-Lane-Retreat.h89847779.Hotel-Information) > - [Cute retro-themed beach shack - 5 mins from the sea](https://www.expedia.ca/James-Well-Hotels-Cute-Retro-Themed-Beach-Shack-5-Mins-From-The-Sea.h92899789.Hotel-Information)
