Great experience on the water

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 friendly - couldn’t ask for more!

It can be a bit noisy when it’s windy (and the parrots are loud) but it is a boat after all so we didn’t mind.

We had a really enjoyable stay, such a unique space, we were happy to just spend time on the Barge.

It was a nice surprise having breakfast supplied, it was delicious. Such a lovely space, we spent much of our time on the Dutch Barge to enable us to really enjoy it. Great location, walking distance to town and very private.

We were surprised there was no mention of having physical ability to board the Dutch Barge, it would be difficult for the elderly or if not fit.

Hidden gem on the river

The amenities on board were excellent. Fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space for enjoying and location is superb

Little tricky to board the boat when the wind is pushing the boat away from the pier

A beautifully refurbished boat with thought gone into every detail.

The location of the property was fantastic, next to the Main Street and at the Wharf with access to a bar and distillery. The decor inside was beautiful with every amenity covered, the owners really thought of all the small details.

I liked everything about the property, however you have to be prepared to experience some rocking on the boat from time to time and some strange boat noises. This did not in any way bother us as it’s a boat at the end of the day!

A unique way to experience this beautiful little pocket of South Australia.

Everything was just fabulous!! Very luxurious. Beautifully decked out, cosy, great attention to detail in every way. Well appointed, easy walk into Goolwa, special treats were provided by the hosts & they even managed to arrange some excellent weather!! The morning visit by a trio of ducks was a bit special also! I booked the barge to celebrate a special birthday & then have a few days of pure indulgence-it was everything (& more) that I hoped for. It was perfect & I highly recommend Swamp Fox to those who appreciate something a little different when it comes to holiday/getaway experiences.

Exceptional

Absolutely 10/10 for everything, the houseboat was exceptional, every comfort available, perfect location, beds & bedding were comfortable & plenty of extra coverage not that it was needed at the time I stayed as the weather was perfect, lots of great seating areas for changes in climate, Annie was so lovely when I spoke to her on the phone & answered my emails promptly. The power supply is different then a house on land but if you follow the information provided there will be no problems, air con was lovely but not needed due to the lovely breeze off the Murray, very thoughtful continental breakfast, also coffee pods, tea & sugar etc, great shower. Can easily walk into town for a meal or supplies- 5-10 minute stroll to the start of the shopping precinct, when the sunday markets are on, few minutes walk & you're there👍🙂

Great unique short break on the Murray River.

We had a fabulous relaxing long weekend break, on the Swamp Fox. A unique experience, fantastic uninterrupted views of river life and nature. Very comfortable and well appointed accommodation. Excellent outdoor and indoor areas to enjoy the views . Short walk to the wharf and into Goolwa Main Street but private and very quiet for a good night’s sleep. Would definitely stay again!

Overall, a relaxing and safe stay in unique accommodation at a beautiful location.

An amazing location right on the water, River Murray. Contemporary boutique accommodation with quirky nautical deco all hidden inside a restored Dutch barge. Plentiful selection of breakfast supplies. Locked gatehouse at entrance, with code supplied. We could remain completely isolated for the duration of our stay which provided a safe environment during the peak of SA’s Omicron outbreak!

Car parking a fair distance from the accommodation. Unloading meant quite a few return trips to the car to get everything on board. Tricky access to vessel, across an expanse of park lawns, a roughly sloped dirt/grass path down to the private jetty, then a tricky section of walkway to manoeuvre before reaching the boat. One of our group has impaired mobility and uses a walking stick which proved a bit challenging for her. We had trouble with the lights at night which was sometimes dull and sometimes flickered on and off. We were told that the system can become erratic if overloaded but each time we experienced difficulties it was only when we had lights on. We suspect the fault is in the 12V system ie the batteries. Hot water, to the kitchen in particular, took a long time to come through.

We just loved the whole atmosphere of the Swamp Fox plus the facilities and location.

The location is within walking distance to the main city center and being right on the river, the scenery was spectacular. the Barge itself felt homely and was certainly very comfortable in every way.

Car parking is a slight problem as you need to either park in a public carpark or a street on the other side of the rail line. A walk across the lawn area or the railway line was not a real issue in the end.

River relaxation!

Very clean and modern facilities and comfortable beds. Everything needed was provided.

Bit difficult for my husband who's vision impaired to get down to the barge.
