Ocean Drift—A Family Getaway by Goolwa Beach

Set across two levels and elevated above the surrounding dunes, this family home makes the most of its Goolwa Beach position with sweeping coastal views and a strong sense of openness. Upstairs is the main living zone, where light-filled living and dining spaces are oriented toward the outlook. Sliding doors open onto the balcony, drawing in sea breezes and coastal light and creating an ideal setting for morning coffee or sunset drinks overlooking the horizon. The kitchen is fully equipped for holiday cooking and includes a Nespresso machine for easy mornings at home.

The upper level is home to the primary bedroom, fitted with a queen bed and a private ensuite. Downstairs, three additional bedrooms are arranged around a secondary living area, creating a comfortable zone for families or groups. One bedroom is fitted with a queen bed, while the remaining two bedrooms are each set up with two single beds, making them well-suited to children or friends sharing. This level also includes a central bathroom with a bathtub, a dedicated laundry, and direct access to the undercover outdoor deck and fenced backyard.

Secure garage parking with internal access allows for easy arrivals and departures after beach days. With flexible sleeping zones, generous living spaces, and an elevated position just moments from the sand, the home is designed for relaxed group stays centred on its standout coastal setting and views.

A portacot and high chair are available to hire for a fee. Should you require them, please let us know upon booking.

Birthday Gathering

We had a fabulous 3 night stay for a family birthday getaway. The property was perfect for our needs, had everything we needed and was clean and well presented. We had a short walk to the beach and drove into town for food. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Generally clean and well provisioned.I felt chastised for not requesting a cot before going, but I honestly didn't see it anywhere in the instructions and Im pretty sure I told them that we had a baby staying. The barbeque needs cleaning and caught on fire, one of the burners needed replacing.Apart from some pretty minor hiccups was a great place to stay and as lovely as the pictures.

Great location but some minor inconveniences

A great location and overall a relaxing stay with a lovely view and nice flat grassed area for kids to play. Kids enjoyed the keyboard too. Bathrooms and living areas were clean and tidy. There were minor things which could be improved - the mop was broken, the indoor broom and dustpan were dirty as they were stored in the shed, handsoap dispensers in the bathrooms were empty (except one), the crockery and cutlery were mismatched and some were dirty, the gloves for washing dishes had holes in the fingers, we needed to use the ironing board before a work meeting but it was stored outside in the shed so it was dusty and not usable
