Fantastic accommodation and location truly...
Liked: It was a WOW as soon as we boarded the boat. There is a true paddle boat feel and location on the lake was private and felt secluded, yet we walked into Goolwa, which is a lovely town. You can hear the raging sea from the boat. The bed was very comfy and great on the top deck. There was heaps of breakfast supplied. Communication (texts) from owners was fine, but did not see them, thus the rating. Goolwa beach was great for a dip.
Disliked: It should be disclosed in the detail at booking that the accommodation is 'OFF GRID' just so you are prepared. Being 'Townies' we were a bit apprehensive about water use and restrictions on 240v use. Not a concern for us BUT be aware the beds are on the upper deck and the stairs are steep.

Liked: Beautiful peaceful and we were greeted by a beautiful black Swan in the morning who obviously wanted some bread for breakfast which we happened to have. Would have loved to have stayed another night and hired the canoes, we definitely recommend this charming place

Great family spot for kids...
Liked: Great spot on the river. Walking distance to Goolws but felt very private and secluded.Awesome provisions provided for breakfast, including fresh bacon and eggs!
Disliked: No air-conditioning made it a little hot, but very bearable and the breeze across the water was very refreshing.
