Absolute gem, so warm and inviting and comfortable, perfect.
The beds were warm and comfortable. The kitchen, bathroom and lounge were comfy, clean, and the owners left us a little welcome gift which was so thoughtful. They communicated well with us and we thought the property and our whole experience was perfect. So thankful to have stayed there, would definitely book again.

Beautiful Goolwa house
We enjoyed staying at the Mariner's Cottage. The house has lots of old character, but has been nicely renovated and styled beautifully. We were very comfortable here and enjoyed the spacious backyard, boogie boards, table tennis, outdoor shower and comfy beds. It's on a nice quiet street, while only a quick walk to the cafes and restaurants of Goolwa, and a short drive to the beach.

Comfortable stay in a gorgeous cottage
Mariner's cottage is comfy and well appointed. It's walking distance to the Sunday Goolwa markets and the main street for cafes and dinner. Our 7 year old really appreciated all the toys in the third bedroom. The coffee machine came in handy and the air fryer would be great for a longer visit. We'd happily come back.

Heritage Cottage
We loved our stay in Mariner's Cottage. Great location, well equipped kitchen and great secure backyard area. Table tennis table is a nice addition but just needs a bit of TLC. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us.

Cute and Cosy
The cottage was extremely comfortable with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. It was spotlessly clean and a lot of thought had gone into making it a home away from home. Walking distance to the main street with great shops and eateries. Lots to see and do on the door step. Would definitely use this delightful cottage again.

Hi Jim & Catherine, somewhere new to stay in Goolwa. We had a wonderful time, so nice to be able to sit outside in your garden. Our visitors from Edinburgh thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and our dog thought it was great too. Will be back again. Thanks

Central Location
A cute little cottage in the heart of Goolwa, the garden is amazing, so peaceful and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. We had a problem with the T.V. on Easter Friday and we rang the owners, who then turned up at 6pm that night with a replacement. (They had come from Adelaide) Thank you again.

Attention to Detail
The cottage location is spot on for walking trips to the shops, local cafes and the wharf. The cottage itself has been beautifully restored with many original features to add to its charms. The attention to detail is what makes it stand out though, with lots of special touches to make your visit comfortable.
