Ocean Goolwa Beach | House in Goolwa Beach, Australia

An enviable hill-top position just a few minute's walk from the beach, with full width top floor deck and generous indoor/outdoor entertaining area. This stylishly appointed holiday retreat has uninterrupted ocean views from Victor Harbor to Goolwa and also down the lake to the Barrages.
Oceanview has a strict "no pets" policy to ensure an allergy free environment.
You can enjoy the family area downstairs and utilise the wide screen TV and kitchenette or perhaps the separate games room for a game or two of table tennis. Alternatively choose to wind down in the comfort of the luxurious living area upstairs. Make the most of the romantic master bedroom with ensuite and four poster bed and treat yourself to breakfast on the front balcony with views to the Murray River and beyond.
