Perfect Stay
We needed a place to stay for a few days in Goolwa and love the area around the historic wharf area. Sadly, it was by necessity, a very short two night stay. Mr Percival was beyond perfect! Immaculate, great decor, generous supplies and incredibly comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything and we can't wait to return for a longer stay. Highly recomended!
