About this property

Amaroo Hindmarsh Island

Situated only 100 metres from edge of the Murray River, on the Northern side of the island Amaroo provides the perfect relaxing holiday for families. The boat ramp is just at the end of the street, providing river access for families that have a boat, jet ski etc. On the property itself there is plenty of parking and we are pet friendly (outside only).

A 5 minute drive away is the historic town of Goolwa, providing many tourist attractions, restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, markets every 2nd Saturday morning on the rivers edge and retail therapy if required! Catch the Steamranger train from Goolwa and being taken on a scenic route along the coast to Victor Harbor, another playground for holidaymakers. Or just head on down to Goolwa Beach, a patrolled beach, and have fish n chips at Bombora. You can ride your bike from Hindmarsh Island to Victor Harbor, travelling along the coast for a most of the way. Spirit of the Coorong offer 2 hour, 4 hour and 6 hour cruises from Goolwa to the Murray mouth and into the Coorong National Park. The P.S Oscar W paddle steamer offers 1 hour cruises on the Murray departing from Goolwa wharf.

We are just hours drive from Adelaide, come down and put your feet up. Please note that guests need to provide their own linen and towels, all beds have quilts, quilt covers, pillows and pillow cases.

Great for the kids
Lovely enclosed backyard. Well equipped kitchen. Homely feel. Beds were comfortable. Were able to pay 5 to use the pool at the Caravan Park across the road. Host communicated about a lighting issue (over head lights not working) and provided adequate lamps. Would have been harder to cook dinner under those conditions in winter but ok with daylight savings. A DVD player upstairs would have been preferable. The pictures of the bedrooms (linen, cushions etc) don't match anymore. This is an issue for children/adults who are neurodivergent as anticipating their holiday venue is important as change can be challenging.

Great location
The property is in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the river from upstairs and excellent for our dog as it has secured backyard and a short walk down to the river. The rooms are spacious and all the main essentials are provided. It is our second time in Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island, such a lovely place to rest and relax.

Comfortable and homely
Well presented indoors. Comfortable and homely. The cupboards are a little cluttered, but there is everything you could possibly need. Be cautious of the balcony railing. We had a lovely stay. Cheers

Perfect getaway
We stayed 6 nights and were thoroughly refreshed by the end. The children had plenty to do which helped the parents relax. It's a cute house with a nice garden and patio area. The home has a nice feel to it. The kitchen has everything you can think of in it and there's a balcony that overlooks the river. It's so peaceful and quiet and just a quick drive into Goolwa. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Amaroo!
The property is well maintained and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just a short stroll and you are at the river with the beaches just a short drive away, best of both worlds!

Lovely sunny house
Great house in good location However, night before our arrival we got a message saying we needed to supply sheets, towels, tea towels. As travellers from UK this was a surprise and we wouldn't have booked if we had known this. Very surprised but luckily a family member lent us the items needed. No internet in property so communication with owner was difficult. However, we had a lovely stay 🙂

Unbelievable stay
Amaroo is so wonderfully presented and immaculately clean. It has everything you would need for a holiday stay, from a popcorn maker to board games to a fresh ground coffee maker. Stacey, the owner has thought of everything, and even gave us a bottle of wine to get the holiday started! I would definitely return to Amaroo.
