Located on a quiet no-through road, this spacious 4-bedroom beach house is an ideal choice for families, groups and guests looking for a fun-filled South Coast holiday close to the sand, surf and everything Goolwa has to offer.



The Space:

Just moments from the sand dunes, you can easily access the beautiful white sands and waves of Goolwa Beach for swimming, surfing, beachcombing and long coastal walks.

The main living area features an open-plan lounge and dining space, while the large second living room includes a TV and provides an additional space for children or adults to enjoy.

The home features four bedrooms and comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, along with a kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Outside, the fully fenced rear yard provides a secure space for children and, with pets negotiable, may allow your four-legged family member to join you on holiday.

There is also ample off-street parking with space for a boat, making Sand Castle a great option for guests wanting to enjoy fishing, boating and the many outdoor activities available around Goolwa and the Fleurieu Peninsula.

When you're ready to explore, you'll be close to Goolwa's shops, cafes, restaurants, local markets, wineries and attractions. Take a ride on the historic Cockle Train from Goolwa to Victor Harbor and visit iconic Granite Island, or explore nearby Middleton, Port Elliot and the beautiful South Coast beaches.

Great location but house needs work

The houses location was amazing, a 1 minute walk and you’re at the beach. The house itself needs work. The side door doesn’t open fully, gets caught on the floor. The security door doesn’t shut properly and the fly wire is ripped so it lets all the flies and mozzies in. The fridge in the shed has mould and there are mice running around the shed itself. The BBQ only has 3 working wheels and makes it hard to move and bits of the BBQ are broken so not that safe.

So sorry to hear of these issues, we will definitely look into it.
