Attention to Detail
The cottage location is spot on for walking trips to the shops, local cafes and the wharf. The cottage itself has been beautifully restored with many original features to add to its charms. The attention to detail is what makes it stand out though, with lots of special touches to make your visit comfortable.

Absolute gem, so warm and inviting and comfortable, perfect.
The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen, bathroom and lounge were comfy, clean, and the owners left us a little welcome gift which was so thoughtful. They communicated well with us and we thought the property and our whole experience was perfect. So thankful to have stayed there, would definitely book again.

Super Snug historic cottage in perfect location
We had such a lovely long weekend at Mariner's Cottage. Our kids loved the ping pong table and yard (so did our little doggy). My husband and I loved the proximity to the cafes and Sunday Markets and it was really snug inside. Thank you for all the kitchen extras and just a really happy family stay. Katie

Beautiful Goolwa house
We enjoyed staying at the Mariner's Cottage. The house has lots of old character, but has been nicely renovated and styled beautifully. We were very comfortable here and enjoyed the spacious backyard, boogie boards, table tennis, outdoor shower and comfy beds. It's on a nice quiet street, while only a quick walk to the cafes and restaurants of Goolwa, and a short drive to the beach.
