Perfect location

Perfect location, close to beach and shops. Very private and located in a dead end street so very limited traffic. Pet friendly with fully enclosed back yard. Loved the toys/book for our 15 month old.

Wonderful location!

We had a wonderful stay at The Dunes. The house was airy and bright with space for our pooches to come along and join the fun. Our entire family loved being so close to the beach for a daily swim and walk on the sand. We will definitely be back again soon!

Great Beach Break

Great place for a family who love the beach. Our kids age 10 and 11 loved the pool table and the freedom of being able to nip through the dunes to the beach. Perfect if you want to surf but don't want to have to strap the board to the roof and drive to the waves. Would definitely recommend this accomodation.

The Dune House

Fantastic place to stay. My partner and I brought our 2 dogs who thoroughly enjoyed the very close proximity to an amazing beach. The side access gate made it easy to put our dogs in the backyard where there was fresh rain water to rinse off the sand. The sounds of the surf, the native bird life fluttering around while relaxing ina sunny position on the rear verandah made my visit complete. Thank you Mel, we will definitely come back

Great little staycation

Cute little house with everything you need. House was super close to the beach and we went for walks twice a day. Kids enjoyed the games room and playing pool and the board games. Yard was safe and secure for our dog. Thank you for making the Dunes’s a holiday house we can share in. We will definitely be back.

Great little hideaway - child and pet friendly

Great little hideaway. Very clean and well equipped. 2 mins from the beach. Set up perfectly for little people - the toys, swings and safe backyard were a hit. Being able to take our dog was also a bonus, he loved the bag of treats left for him.

Enjoyable family getaway

Our family enjoyed our Goolwa getaway. Location was excellent, & especially close to the beach & the bike path. The boys loved the combustion fireplace as it was the first time they saw how to light/stoke a fire.

The Dunes Beach House

Great position with easy beach access. Quiet location and a neat, clean, comfortable beach house with everything you need. Safe, tidy backyard for dogs and easy to clean interior. Walking distance to beach cafe and a short drive to shopping centre and a variety of cafes etc. Perfect spot for exploring Goolwa, Middleton and Pt Elliot.

Unfortunately they were building a new house next door which stopped any sleep in, but the house was nice to stay in.

One sand dune from the beautiful Goolwa Beach

We have stayed here a couple of times and love the location for an easy beachside relaxing holiday. The house has all you need and always neat and tidy. Will be back again.

Perfect for a quiet getaway

Seeking a quick getaway for an extended weekend, and the opportunity to gain some peace and quiet - the Dunes Beach House at Goolwa Beach did not disappoint. Whilst the décor can be described as simple - its absolutely all one needs, requiring some simple bedding and bathroom needs. Communication with the owner was very easy - a small issue with the Hot Water Unit not being switched on was solved within minutes, by phone. A two minute walk over the sand dunes to a long beach, allowed for great walking. Kitchen is well set up - bathroom is roomy, although shower is a bit small and could benefit with a shelf for incidentals. TV and DVD player were excellent and easy to use. Bed used was comfortable - and the place is really quiet - just what we needed.

Great location

I took my wife for a relaxing stay at The Dunes for her birthday. It was awesome that our little pooch could join our family unit for the holiday too! The accommodation was tastefully renovated with a brand new bathroom and excellent kitchen. The AC worked great and the beds were comfortable... what more could you ask for? A short stroll to the beach was our favourite part!! We are heading back soon for another stay with friends... this is the place to be for lazy weekends by the seaside!

Fantastic location

The Dunes was clean, comfortable & great value. The renovated bathroom & kitchen were lovely. Beds were very clean & comfortable & rooms set up well. Fabulous location so close to the beach. We would highly recommend for people looking for a family/pet friendly, great value property. The owners were fantastic and easy to deal with too - we would definitely book again. - Thanks
