Group weekend getaway
The home was ok for our family group size (12 people), but it could do with some updating. The living room couch was very uncomfortable, no air conditioning in the downstairs area, and the outside lawn areas have not been looked after. We were a little disappointed, especially after paying a premium price for the accommodation.

Birthday getaway
We were so happy to be able to enjoy our getaway with our fur babies Dexter, Angel and Harry. The house was perfect (except for the stairs ha) for our dogs. They all loved the front yard and I got many videos there that will be our favourite memories. The beach was our favourite place to visit and Harry had his first beach walk/swim. We can’t wait to return asap!!

Lovely, clean, functional and spacious
We had 6 adults and 6 children stay, and it never felt like we were in each other's pockets. The facilities were clean and functional; with supplies of the extras like washing powder etc. The balcony was beautiful, along with the gas bbq which was great. Nerissa was always prompt with her replies, friendly and willing to help. My only suggestion would be about the positioning of the air conditioner in the upstairs area (as this space will get very hot/very cold in the peak seasons); as well as catering to the same for the downstairs area if possible. Perhaps fans in the rooms could help a little with this? Otherwise, a really enjoyable stay, close to the beach and shops; and great big back yard for the kids/dogs to play. Thank you Nerissa.

About the host

Host profile image
I am Nerissa. I love working in the travel/accommodation industry. I have recently taken over management of The Castle at Goolwa Beach because of my love for the industry. I also manage another three holiday homes in other locations including Glenelg Adelaide, Port Lincoln and Tumby Bay on the Eyre Peninsula. All seaside locations. I trust that I can help to make your holiday an enjoyable one!

Why they chose this property

The Castle is in an ideal location at Goolwa Beach on the Fleurieu Peninsula. It is a home away from home with so many things to see and do in the area or not. Just relax and chill out in this space and enjoy some well-deserved down time!

What makes this property unique

The castle is perfect for 1-2 families sleeping up to 14 guests in 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, an upstairs open plan kitchen / living / dining, large windows with panoramic views and a north facing deck. Plus there is a downstairs living space with a kitchenette, 2nd fridge and access straight out the door to a large lawn yard. Plenty of space for the children and your pets.
