Goolwa is such a lovely small town. The River Retreat we have stayed in is located by the river, with a bikeway along the beautiful and tranquil river coast, which is perfect for a stroll, jog or cycling. The Retreat is very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is very well-equipped, including an oven. Our host is very friendly and helpful in assisting our check-in, as we had difficulty in retrieving our original instruction of the check-in process. Everything is thoughtfully provided here. Goolwa is a convenient place to base in for exploration of the neighbourhood. It is just a 10-minute drive from Middleton, where we have seen a good number of whales in Basham Beach. Port Elliot and Victor Harbor are also just 15-minute drive away. Hindmarsh Island and Murray Mouth are just 10-minute drive across the bridge.
