Beautifully maintained property with everything we could possibly need. Safe, secure yard for dogs. Loved the complimentary wine and Pringles. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay.
Lovely little cottage. Has everything you could possibly need. Loved the fireplace. In a great location, walking distance to mostly everything. We enjoyed our stay :)
Very satisfied with the cottage overall. Comfortable bed, enough space, beaut gas log fire. Felt like the owners know what customers want & need. Great that it is pet friendly 😁🐕
The cottage was beautifully fitted out with everything we could need on a short stay, including Netflix and pod coffee maker. The garden was a real treat and made our dog fee right at home.
Quaint little cottage.Quiet area.Shady garden.Walking distance to Main Street, Tourist train and Paddle boat wharf.Relaxing place to stay with your dog.
We had a lovely stay in this cute wee cottage, every convenience was available for our use.
It is situated in a very handy location, within a nice easy stroll to town. The garden was peaceful and pretty to sit in. We would happuly stay again
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.
Mariner's cottage is comfy and well appointed. It's walking distance to the Sunday Goolwa markets and the main street for cafes and dinner. Our 7 year old really appreciated all the toys in the third bedroom. The coffee machine came in handy and the air fryer would be great for a longer visit. We'd happily come back.
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
A cute little cottage in the heart of Goolwa, the garden is amazing, so peaceful and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had a problem with the T.V. on Easter Friday and we rang the owners, who then turned up at 6pm that night with a replacement. (They had come from Adelaide) Thank you again.
Perfect getaway to recharge the batteries. Everything we needed from the weekend was within walking distance. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly.

Excellent property
We loved our stay. Everything was perfect and so comfortable. We would definitely come back again.
The Mariners cottage was very nice. There was no need to take anything with us as everything you need is here. Complimentary bottle of wine, chips and chocolates. Communication with the owners was very good.
