Drift @ Goolwa-Beach, River, Golf & Vineyards – Your Perfect Goolwa Escape!
Beach, River, Golf & Vineyards – Your Perfect Goolwa Escape!
Welcome to your dream getaway in the heart of Goolwa South! Just minutes from the pristine beach, serene river, charming town centre, world-class golf course, and nearby vineyards, this location truly has it all.
Step inside this beautifully renovated home where comfort meets style — the perfect place to unwind after a day of coastal adventures. Whether you're soaking up the sun or stargazing at night, the expansive, fully enclosed outdoor entertaining area is a standout feature. Fire up the BBQ or pizza oven, settle into the outdoor lounge, and dine alfresco with your favourite local wine.
The large, private backyard is ideal for lazy afternoons on the lawn or gathering around the fire pit (BYO wood) as the sun sets. With two spacious driveways, there's plenty of secure undercover parking for your cars, boat, or jet ski.
Whether you're here to relax or explore, this is the ultimate base to experience everything Goolwa and the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula have to offer.
