Accommodation In Goolwa

Our Goolwa accommodation gives you the opportunity to stand at the point where the mighty Murray River meets the sea. In the late 19th century, Goolwa was one of Australia’s major river ports. Australia’s first public railway system was built nearby, making Goolwa the main trading centre between Adelaide and the rest of the world. These days, Goolwa is an historic, laid-back town, known as "Australia’s small boat capital". For a relaxing holiday by the water, look no further than Goolwa.

As Goolwa is located on the Murray River mouth, fishermen and water sports enthusiasts get the best of both worlds – salt water and fresh water. Enjoy a day out on the water in a power boat, yacht, canoe, or the 102 year old paddle steamer, Oscar W..

Here, you can grab hand-made goods, clothes, accessories, plants, fresh produce and baked treats. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Fleurieu Art Trail, of which the Goolwa Artworx Gallery is a part.

For those on a budget, there are plenty of cafes, bistros, fish and chip shops, and even the Irish pub, where you’ll find a good feed.

Goolwa is 83km south of the Adelaide airport, so you’ll need to hire a car or jump aboard a coach bus to get here.
