About Goolwa
Nestled on a small peninsula between the Goolwa Lake, mouth of the Murray River, the Coorong National Park and the stunning Goolwa Beach the charming river port town of Goolwa offers something for everyone whether you are a foodie, boatie, surfer, swimmer, fisherman, walker, kayaker, golfer or cyclist.
Throw out a rug and picnic on the banks of the river, or savour a glass of local wine, a locally distilled gin and whiskey, an amazing coffee, a gourmet cooked breakfast on the Goolwa Wharf, or sampling local seafood at the Kuti Shack on Goolwa Beach - it's all on your doorstep and only a couple of minutes walk away.
The unique combination of river, lake and beach on your doorstep provides endless options for summer aquatic adventures including swimming, sailing, wakeboarding, water skiing, kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, surfing, boogie boarding, kitesurfing and fishing.
Keen fishermen are spoilt for choice. Just throw a line off the wharf just 50 metres from your door to fish for Callop, Bream, Perch, Redfin, Murray Cod, freshwater shrimp and yabbies while watching the pelicans out-fish you! Or for the more adventurous, fish the barrage, Beacon 19, Murray Mouth, Coorong or surf-fish the 11km of pristine Goolwa Beach, fully accessible by 4WD.
A two minute drive (or 10 minute walk) from The Admiral Riverside Studios will have you at Goolwa Beach – one of the most beautiful and untouched parts of the South Australian coastline.
Head down the ramp and onto the beach itself and drive on the perfect white sand beach for 11kms to the Murray Mouth – the end of Murray River, the entrance to the Coorong and home to a colony of seals and numerous school fish which move freely through this unique and pristine channel which is not accessible by any other means.
The Admiral Riverside Studios are a perfect choice for a short or extended stay when visiting Goolwa and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Groups up to 4 people can be accommodated by booking Studios 1 and 2.

This was our second visit to The Admiral Riverside Studio which was perfect for our short stay. Walkable to restaurants and pubs in town. Lovely view of the river from studio one. Very clean and tidy.
We took advantage of the shared tv room and rec room this time and enjoyed being able to have that extra seating. Had a lovely few days.

Perfect location as we had a family function on nearby Hindmarsh Island. Husband and I able to walk to coffee in the morning, hotel meal one night and lovely Thai meal the other night. I had previously experienced staying in the whole residence, which was amazing, but this was equally satisfying, considering the circumstances.

We had a very relaxing stay, I think it would be very over crowded with other people staying as well

Admiral's retreat was a great place to stay - lovely views, easy walk to the wharf and town centre. The room was spotlessly clean and well presented. Great shower!
There is a kettle and bar fridge in the room but no other self catering options. There is a separate communal lounge/games room area and BBQ.

We were very happy with the presentation of the studio and had a water view which was lovely. Easy walk to town and to the wharf to cafes and hotels etc.
The room is compact but very comfortable and we would happily do a long weekend here again.

My partner and I stayed in studio 1 for our 3 year anniversary. The view was beautiful and relaxing. We really enjoyed playing pool in the guest room and watching movies on the big 4k TV! The nespresso machine was great too. Bed was comfy and the toiletries smelled lovely! Food and pubs are a 5 minute walk and we enjoyed exploring Goolwa on foot. I highly recommend this property, our only complaint is it went too quick!
