    It was such a surprise to find a fully furnished getaway that made you think I don’t want to leave here.

    Wonderful experience on a restored Dutch barge on the water at Goolwa. Barge was beautifully appointed with everything necessary for an extended stay

    Something different! Had all the facilities you need, hosts were lovely - helpful and friendly when I called as the power went out (which they fixed promptly). Nice breakfast provisions, great shower, comfy bed, lovely decor and it’s dog...

Swamp Fox Goolwa
Swamp Fox was built in Goolwa at Captain Sturt Marina. She has been lovingly fully refurbished to provide luxurious 2br accommodation with all you need and more for a comfortable and relaxing stay both summer and winter. Guests always comment on how beautifully appointed she is and how warm, cosy, peaceful and still she is even if blowing a gale outside. Short walk to numerous restaurants, wine bar, distillery, art galleries etc and the wharf meeting point for Oscar W paddle steamer and Coorong cruises.
We feel so fortunate to have become the latest of only 4 caretakers of Swamp Fox. We know or have known them all and many locals often recount their fond memories of their times spent on Swamp Fox, she is a part of Goolwa history.
Located at our private jetty you can see Hector’s restaurant and the wharf precinct - less than 5 minute stroll. 10 -15 minute walk to Bombora on the river cafe/restaurant and a 5 minute drive or 10-15 by bike to Goolwa beach and Kuti Shack (‘Kuti’ being Narrindjeri for pipis) is a must for breakfast, lunch or dinner). A short drive in either direction you will find amazing attractions to visit - Port Elliot, Middleton, Victor Harbor and their amazing cafes, restaurants, retail outlets, antique shops and tourist attractions, Langhorne Creek and it’s beautiful wineries or the McLaren Vale wine district.
