The property features secluded pet friendly yard, unlimited WiFi, 55 inch Sony Smart TV, fireplace with all firewood, sheets and towels provided. Nothing to worry about - just arrive and start relaxing! By day there's nothing but sand between you and the ocean, and by night all you will hear is the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Whether it's surfing, beach fishing, or just walking on the beach you seek, this is a perfect little getaway house for you and your family. Pet friendly inside and out, so the dogs can come too. In winter the fireplace and wall mounted heater will keep you cosy and warm, and in summer you can choose the sea breeze or the air conditioning. Nearby you'll find the Goolwa SLSC patrolled beach, beachside cafes, the Encounter bikepath runs right past the house and don't forget the Corio Hotel for a great pub meal. We also highly recommend Cafe Bombora on the river which is a few minutes away. Plenty of room in the big backyard with a new stainless steel undercover BBQ area. The dunes provide shelter from the winds, tucked away and secluded. An ideal Goolwa beachfront location where the whole family can relax and enjoy... ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 99 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33574200/33574190/16b36fcb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bradford Shores Goolwa - Luxury - Wi-Fi Goolwa Beach - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=33574190&PinnedHotelID=33574190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117160000/117159500/117159422/36bb1aaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 44 Neighbour Ave, Goolwa Beach Goolwa Beach - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=117159422&PinnedHotelID=117159422&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119830000/119822300/119822282/dfb0c428.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 47 Underwood Ave, Goolwa Beach Goolwa Beach - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=119822282&PinnedHotelID=119822282&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121090000/121089000/121088960/19ea4cfd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Drift—A Family Getaway by Goolwa Beach Goolwa Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=121088960&PinnedHotelID=121088960&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60270000/60269700/60269680/8f93512a_edited_0100.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### All Decked Out Goolwa Beach Pet Friendly Goolwa Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=60269680&PinnedHotelID=60269680&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-12&endDate=2026-03-13&selected=68433808&PinnedHotelID=68433808&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=68433808,33574190,117159422,119822282,121088960) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs and cats only 1 total (up to 99 kg per pet) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

Felt like home away from home. Very cosy and comfy especially in the cold nights, the fire was excellent, hardly used the split system reverse cycle. Great selection of CD's too. Excellent backyard for our dogs to play in and so close to the beach track. Excellent bathroom, laundry and large fridge. Everything you need in the well equiped kitchen and high quality cooking pots and pans. Good supply of cleaning and general amenities and very well laundered bedding, tea towels etc. We had a wonderful and very relaxing stay and highly recommend the Little Beach House. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karina C. 8 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach house Backs onto an amazing stretch of beach!

We were asked to provide own toilet paper and bin bags, which seemed unreasonable given the cost of the rental. There was a limit imposed on the number of visitors we were allowed to have (2 people!) which was not communicated until we arrived at the property. We had to relocate my son’s 12th birthday family celebration to a neighbouring park as we wanted to invite 6 people (his grandparents and cousins). The house was cosy, well situated and clean. However, we will be avoiding booking any holiday house which is managed by this real estate agent in the future. ##### Natasha W.
