About the host
Hosted by Craig & Marita Thornquest
Craig and I built this house in 2014. We love the local area and always knew that we would love to have our own holiday home in Goolwa one day.. so when we finally achieved our dream we wanted to be able to share our piece of heaven with others. I'm sure you will love staying here as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The view from the lounge/dining area is magical. Overlooking two islands with a small bird rookery it’s wonderful to see the bird life so close to you.
What makes this property unique
This is a great house that caters for family as well as entertaining as the kitchen lounge area opens onto the BBQ courtyard dining area. Stunning views over the canal and island rookery.
