About this property

Ocean View Goolwa Beach

Note: JANUARY 2026 BOOKINGS will be a seven night minimum stay
- In Sunday 3pm; Out following Sunday 10am

An enviable hill-top position just a few minute's walk from the beach, with full width top floor deck and generous indoor/outdoor entertaining area. This stylishly appointed holiday retreat has uninterrupted ocean views from Victor Harbor to Goolwa and the Murray Mouth.

You can enjoy the family area downstairs and utilise the wide screen TV and kitchenette or perhaps the separate studio for a game or two of table tennis. Alternatively choose to wind down in the comfort of the luxurious living area upstairs. Make the most of the romantic master bedroom with ensuite and four poster bed and treat yourself to breakfast on the front balcony with views to the Murray River and beyond.

There is a lot to explore including a visit to local wineries, the Sunday market at the wharf, or a boat trip to the Coorong. Perhaps play a round of golf, surf at the beach or just relax and watch for the whales during May to October from the deck.

Activities and sightseeing.
Goolwa is a historic township which has retained much of its heritage and charm. Visit the main street with craft shops, cafes, and fine art galleries. Use as your base to access the Coorong National Park, Hindmarsh Island and the River Murray Lower Lakes. The Sunday market at the wharf is well worth the visit for local produce and art and craft stalls. There are many local activities at hand for all ages including Surfing, wine tasting, whale watching (during May to October) and the historic Cockle train is a favourite for young and old.
Beach walks - for all to enjoy any time of the day.
Golf Enthusiasts - there are several golf courses in close proximity including The South Lakes golf course at Goolwa, a 3 minute drive from Ocean View. McCracken golf club at Victor Harbor is a perfect challenge for the golfer, with an excellent restaurant. Also, the Victor Harbor Course and the Fleurieu Club at Mt Compass are all an easy drive away.
Surfing - at Goolwa Beach, Middleton, Pt Elliott and the famous Boomer Beach between Pt Elliot and Victor Harbor.
Cycling - follow the Encounter Bike Way along the coast from Goolwa to Victor Harbor via Middleton, Pt. Elliot and Haybourgh.
Take a cruise on the historic Paddle Steamer ''PS Oscar W" on the river for lunch or sunset cruises.
Tours are available to the Coorong National Park to explore the wild environment, huge sand dunes, waterways, exotic flora and fauna. Tours can be booked at the Goolwa Wharf.
Hindmarsh Island is situated across the bridge with a short drive to the Mouth of the River Murray. Enjoy a meal or drink at the Marina Tavern overlooking the water. A visit to Narnu Farm is an ideal location for fun for the children with a horse ride.
At Pt Elliot, (just 15 minute drive away) make the most of the beautiful, family friendly, safe swimming beach at Horseshoe Bay. Enjoy a cliff top walk with stunning views or sauntering along the street taking in a number of antique, craft and book shops. Fish’n’chips from the famous Flying Fish Cafe is a must!
Victor Harbor is certainly worth a visit. The horse drawn tram crosses the causeway to Granite Island where you can go on cliff walks with some amazing coastal scenery and birdlife.
The Whale Watch Information & Interpretive centre, is always worth the visit with whale watching tours available during the season. (May to October)
Urimbirra Wildlife Park - view the koalas, wombats, kangaroos and many other animals.

Beach stay
A fabulous location, beautiful views, very comfortable and safe with plenty to do at the house for all family in doors and outside, and nearby in Goolwa and other towns. Thank you for the generous hospitality, spices, coffee, tea etc. I would have liked sharper cutlery eating knives, a few more medium sized baking dishes, non stick frypans, a smaller saucepan, napkins, tissues, bucket and a standard mop for cleaning floors. Thank you again I look forward to the next stay!

One of the best in Goolwa Beach
This property is well located with outstanding views of the beach and coast and it was a quiet neighbourhood. Just a 2-minute drive to the shopping centre, just a little further to get to Goolwa township. The property itself was very suitable for my husband and myself, our 2 adult sons with their wives and our 2-year old grandson. (He has even learnt to go up and down the staircase). We didn't want for any cutlery, plates, saucepans etc. There is even a Sodastream and a coffee machine. I would highly recommend this property to any visitors to Goolwa Beach. You will not want for anything.
