    This was our second stay at this lovely property, and it more than matched our high expectations arising from our 1st visit. It is impeccably clean, has quality furnishings and fittings, and is located in a scenic part of Goolwa. We can't wait to...

Exclusive, luxe, riverfront. Need we say more? We welcome you with open arms to the Riverhouse, sitting proudly on the Murray River. Private jetty, wood heater, toys for young and old – we have your next getaway covered. Spend the days playing in the Fleurieu Peninsula, our wineries, cafes, water life and history, then come home and nestle in – light the wood fire, cozy up, and cook up your bounty in the fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy a glass of the region’s wine on the balcony, admiring the diverse landscape of The Riverhouse’s vista. Come stay.
Our whole family is involved with The Riverhouse and our other property @sultanamclarenvale. Amo is the garden guru and lawn lover, Marie is the laundry goddess and Lucy the best bed maker you'll find. You'll find me filling the gaps and cleaning, styling, stressing over social media and loving everything about hospitality. Having been in tourism accommodation for the past 30 years, we have a wonderful knowledge and understanding of what guests want and need. We anticipate and plan meticulously for your visit and can't want to welcome you. Generally we stay in the background and communicate solely through the app but if you need us we are absolutely available.
Goolwa is at the tail end of the Murray River, where it meets the Southern Ocean. Perfect for sailing, fishing, water skiing. Just a short drive from Goolwa Beach, we are spoilt for views, nature based activities and cafe's, restaurants and shopping. An easy 3km bicycle ride along the Encounter bikeway, on our free bikes, has you in town sipping a coffee and enjoying a generous brunch. Further afield is the iconic Port Elliot, Horseshoe Bay and the unmissable bakery. Even a little further down the road is Victor Harbor, the wineries of McLaren Vale or Langhorne Creek and more markets than you could hope to find.
