About this house rental
Summary:
Step back in time at Swans Shorehouse, a cosy 1960s beach shack with riverfront views, a fire pit and plenty of room to enjoy the coast.
• Three-bedroom home ideal for families, fishing trips and water lovers.
• Walking distance to cafés, playgrounds and the boat ramp.
• Bring your dog and enjoy the relaxed pace of this coastal escape.
• A charming base for swimming, boating, fishing and exploring the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The Space:
Welcome to Swans Shorehouse, an original 1960s beach shack filled with character, charm and plenty of holiday memories waiting to be made.
Set right on the riverfront at Goolwa South, between Café Bombora and the family-friendly Adventure Playground, this is the kind of place made for slow mornings, afternoons on the water and evenings around the fire.
The home has a simple and comfortable layout with three bedrooms:
Bedroom 1 – Queen bed
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Tri-bunk with double bed below and single above
There are two bathrooms, with the second shower and toilet located in the laundry for added convenience.
Outside is where this shack really shines. Enjoy the expansive balcony, gather around the fire pit after a day on the river, or make the most of the space with a boat, kayaks or fishing gear. There is room to park a boat and caravans up to approximately 24ft.
Inside, the retro shack character has been kept intact, with Wi-Fi, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and a practical kitchen with the basics you need for holiday cooking. A BBQ is also available for easy outdoor meals.
Swans Shorehouse is a laid-back Goolwa escape for families, fishing trips and anyone who loves the simple pleasures of a classic coastal shack.
The Neighborhood:
Swans Shorehouse puts you right on the riverfront at Goolwa South, with some of Goolwa’s favourite spots just moments away.
From here, you can:
• Walk to Café Bombora for coffee, breakfast or a casual meal by the water.
• Let the kids burn off energy at the Adventure Playground just steps from the house.
• Launch the boat, kayak or paddleboard straight from the nearby boat ramp.
• Spend the day at Goolwa Beach swimming, surfing or exploring the coastline.
• Wander through the historic Goolwa Wharf precinct, home to weekend markets, SteamRanger heritage train rides and river cruises.
• Visit the Goolwa Barrage and Hindmarsh Island for birdwatching and beautiful wetland scenery.
• Enjoy local dining at Hector’s on the Wharf, the Aquacaf, or explore the region’s wineries and local produce.

Loved that I could have my little Jack Russell with me and the yard being fully enclosed. The park across the road was great for him to run around too. It’s a great view from the balcony and with a cafe across the road we could grab coffees. Really comfy inside and i could have definitely stayed longer.
