Its position is the most enviable in Goolwa and the view is mesmerising: opposite a wetland bird sanctuary, with expansive views over the water to Hindmarsh Island. Welcome to The Yellow House – a sunburst of verve and warmth that shines with all the colours of a seaside holiday. It makes a fun option for just one group at a time.

The main open-plan living area is upstairs, with wall-to-ceiling glass that opens to a huge deck. The views are simply fabulous.  there are two living areas and a central dining section that seats 10, plus a gourmet kitchen to cater for the tribe. Three bedrooms are upstairs and the fourth downstairs has two bunk beds (perfect for kids). With vibrant colours, plenty of candles and seaside-themed decorations, the interior style is fresh and bold. This is a bright, breezy home alive with the sound of birdsong. It is so easy to feel a spirit that whispers of the many happy holidays spent here.

Goolwa is a beachside secret, a little tucked away but right in the heart of seaside fun and hinterland wineries. The Yellow House exudes a style that makes it perfect in summer or winter.
