Spindrift Goolwa - family friendly getaway

This charming, stylishly furnished, 3 bedroom, open plan beach house is situated in a tranquil street in Goolwa South, close to the yacht club.

It is a great place for kids and grandparents.The well-maintained garden has lovely lawns, a large shady veranda for those hot days, and is fully fenced at the back.

The wide driveway can accommodate three cars and a couple of boat trailers.

There are bikes, helmets and outdoor toys for our guests to use. There are at least four playgrounds within walking distance of the house and a reserve at the end of the street.

A 5 minute stroll from the house will take you to the riverfront, bars and cafes.
Goolwa beach is only minutes away (1.5km) by bicycle or car. A supermarket is conveniently located 500m from the house.

Relax in the spacious, open-plan living area with comfy sofas, air conditioning, heating, 42 inch LCD TV, DVD, Vintage Xbox, ipod/CD/radio player, DVDs/BlueRay discs and a collection of board games, toys and books.

Or head outdoors to a large, covered eating area, complete with 6 person, outdoor eating set and 4 burner gas BBQ.

The new kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare home cooked meals.

Let the sounds of the sea send you to sleep in any of the two queen-sized beds and 2 single beds located in three bedrooms.

Please note, the property is strictly no pets, inside and outside.

Thank you for a wonderful stay at your home. It was clean, comfortable & I felt very safe there staying in my own with 3 small children. The thoughtful consideration of items for children were very appreciated & meant I didn’t need to pack additional items.

Well positioned warm comfortable base for family whale-watching in winter. Equipped with board games, dvds, books for kids and family on stormy nights, and an excellent collection of useful tourist information. Hosts kindly accommodated date changes attributable to border closures.

Great place to stay.
Overall, a great place to stay in a quiet neighbourhood and yet so close to shops, beach, playgrounds and pubs. Single father of two young girls (years 3 and 7) found this place to be everything we expected and more. Very clean on arrival, small shed full of buggies, bikes, helmets and other items to be enjoyed by family. Kitchen was stocked with everything we'd need for our time there. The girls loved the toys available in the room with two single beds which I thought were more comfortable than the adjacent bedroom with a queen bed. Lovely sheltered back veranda with BBQ and plenty of seating. The fenced in back yard with play equipment was a big bonus with the girls and myself as I was able to prepare meals while knowing the girls were safe and secure while playing outside.

Getting in a long weekend
On arrival we found the house and property what we expected, but having stayed at many different properties during our married lives we found the rules in slight abundance , but the house and land are situated close to all we needed and wanted in Goolwa. A good relaxing place with outdoor facilities to relax and enjoy for adults and small children.
