DUNE STAY, Unique 270o Dune Views & Steps to Beach

** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **

Panoramic views, privacy, exclusive position, beautifully appointed

Truly Goolwa's premier beach retreat! Nestled in the ocean sand dunes on the town's most exclusive street, Dune: Stay is unique for its privacy, big balcony and 270-degree views across the dunes and Tokuremoar Reserve. You'll have a ringside seat for the colours of the day, with 3-minute walking access to the beach, a quiet cul-de-sac location and all the comforts of a newly and tastefully renovated family holiday home over two levels.

The views are a constant delight and children almost look after themselves, with safe access to the beach, the expansive reserve with its possibilities for ball games, kite-flying, dog exercise and even some pitch and putt, and The Encounter Bikeway just metres away.

The top-floor Balcony Suite (with WIR and ensuite bathroom) and large open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with floor-to-ceiling windows enjoy breathtaking views. Both the bedroom and living area open onto a large dune-side balcony, the ideal place to take dining and leisure outdoors and make the most of the sea air and elevated views. Kangaroos often look back at you from the dune tops! And there's another balcony overlooking the reserve for morning coffee and sunshine. You can even floodlight the dunes at night to enjoy the view after sunset.

Downstairs, the second and third Garden Bedrooms overlook a fenced private garden at the base of the dune, with access to a garden patio via the bunk room. A living room and bathroom complete downstairs as the perfect area for children and additional adult guests.

Every Pet Let stay includes the Perks Pack: an exclusive bundle of discount offers at local businesses worth up to $230. From spa sessions to dining and local activities, it’s extra value built in so you can get the most out of your holiday budget.

Goolwa Beach has become a preferred year-round destination for more and more holidaymakers. With pristine beaches separated from development by ancient sand dunes; the river, Coorong and lakes so close with all they offer for sheltered boating and watersports; historic trains and riverboats; a lively Sunday market; and a growing reputation for wining and dining: Goolwa offers a diverse holiday experience throughout the four seasons. And yet it retains the small-town atmosphere that completes the perfect holiday experience at Dune: Stay.

Brilliant location

Large house with great views. This street is one of the best locations in Goolwa if you like being close to nature. Very short stroll to the beach through the dunes, kangaroos in the reserve across the road, and birds everywhere.

A lovely location

Really good, with great views and very well located close to the beach, very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Our dogs loved the yard, but kept disappearing under the overgrowth of the back fence, so could not see what they were up to, being beagles I was concerned about the snakes in the dunes, and about them escaping. The garden really needs some pruning and maintenance.

Perfect house, beautiful location

We stayed at this property for 2 nights. The house itself was lovely, with big, comfy leather lounges and a classy, modern interior. The location was amazing, with great views over the national park from the lounge and kitchen and views straight into the dunes from the back deck and bedroom. Walks with our dog along the long stretch of perfect beach were lovely. So close to the Goolwa town if we needed to get something. A great property, just wish we had been able to stay longer. Topped the weekend off with a lovely walk in Kuitpo Forest on the way home. Only one thing, I found the mattress in the upstairs bedroom quite uncomfortable, it seemed almost 'solid' for want of a better word (not like a normal spring mattress?). We recommend this property as a great place to stay if you want some peace, quiet and privacy.

Beautiful house let down by cleanliness

The house is in a beautiful spot and the lounge/kitchen area on the second floor has great views. Unfortunately we felt the cleanliness wasn't up to standard. There was a strong smell in the living area on arrival which we believe was cat spray. This got better after a couple of days of airing but never quite went away. We regularly stay at places with our dog without issue and probably just got unlucky this time with the previous users but the presence of cat hair in the beds and kitchen area (on the stove top!) suggests it should also have been cleaned better.

So Relaxing!

We had a great few days relaxing in this beautiful house. It was so inviting. The location is amazing, right on the sand dunes to the beach. Even though the weather was raining & windy, it didn't detract from our stay. The views are great. I highly recommend this lovely house.
