About this property
Cosy retro weekender with far-reaching views
Situated in quiet Goolwa Beach, Farview shack is a traditional Aussie weekender that has been updated to provide a comfortable, relaxing base for your stay in the beautiful south coast region. Every window provides a different view of the surrounding area, from the hills to the lake and the sea. A covered deck along the front of the shack allows you to enjoy the views in comfort. Across the road from a park, with an easy 10 minute walk to the beach and a quick drive to local shops and the historic town centre, Farview is ideally located for those looking for a short escape or a longer stay. It has sleeping accomodation for 5 people with a separate bedroom and a sleeping nook off the main living area. The kitchen has been recently renovated and contains all you need to prepare your own meals. Reverse cycle air conditioning and TV/DVD are provided. Outside is a covered area and lawn in a local native garden, and ample parking space. Meditate by the tranquil pond and in winter stargaze by the firepit. With a décor that gives a nod to history but does not compromise on comfort, Farview will provide you with the quintessential Aussie holiday shack experience.

Comfortable shack with its quirky retro styling. We enjoyed listening to the sound of the surf, walk to the beach and views across Gawla and the Hindmarsh island bridge.
The property delivered what it promised. We loved the location with an easy walk to the beach and it made an excellent base to explore the Fleurieu Peninsula, the Coorong and beyond to the city and hills.
Affordable place in Goolwa, close to beach. It is retro as advertised (we enjoyed the dvd selection), but perfectly comfortable - the bed was great. We had a few issues with check in information not arriving and correct beds not made up but easily sorted.
Was a fabulous retro beach shack, much better than a cabin or hotel room. Great location and we could park our JetSki. Loved the retro vibe and next time we will bring the kids to use the extra bedroom, thank you for having us!
Had a wonderful stay at this Shack. It suited our needs really well. It is a cosy place and has ample space for 4 people who are 6foot 1- 6foot7.
I would highly recommend this place to those who want an authentic shack’ experience. It is very comfortable for any situation, if you’re having a busy day then want to have a relaxed meal outside on the Jarrah dining table then this is the place for you.
The only thing I would recommend for the owners is to have a BBQ outside on the deck. We are already looking at going again for another summer Goolwa extravaganza. ✌️
A 1 bedroom shack and that's what it was, double bed was in the living room, the bedroom had a single and bunk set. It had few amenities, no washing machine, nowhere to put toiletries, large laundry basin in bathroom doubled as face/teeth/hand cleaning and laundry tub; no wardrobes to hang clothes(hung clothes on curtain rails); no Internet or good tv reception (4 channels only ABC abd Ch 10). Very limited amenities. Convenient location for beach access. Very responsive owners but would not stay again. Would pay more for better amenities.
Fantastic beach house in a great spot in Goolwa! Super comfy, fun retro decor, updated kitchen....with plenty of space (even a room with bunk beds available), great balcony to relax with a few wines and a cheese plate in the gentle arvo sunlight, and such a beachy chill vibe. Stayed here twice now and will again - recommend to anyone (solo, couple or family) wanting a coastal get-away in Goolwa!
We loved our stay
The house was just as described warm clean and homely and met our needs perfectly.. we enjoyed our walks to the beach each day as well
Cute little shack with everything we needed for a weeks stay.
Communication with Rebecca was great.
Highly recommended, we visit Goolwa often and will definitely look to stay here again
