Goolwa Beach

👍👍 Expect a long lecture from the security guy who thinks he is a parks ranger if you don't have South Australian registration on your vehicle. Targeted us and told us not to camp on the sand dunes or within 300m of the Murray mouth. Told us we should have read a sign but then said the sign has been re...

Islanders' Tavern
Restaurant
🫤 When we finally got our meal the food was delicious. We waited an hour for fish & chips with no apology or explanation.
This was after the barman basically walked away without taking our order or those behind us before saying 'he'd be back in a minute'. He disappeared out the back, brought a plate o...

Discovery Parks - Goolwa
RV park
👍👍 We booked a powered site for one night and arrived after office hours. We received a text from the park explaining how to check in and all the site information. It was so easy. Even in the dark we could tell the park was huge and there were signs that they had been upgrading. In the morning we had a...

👍👍 I recently had a great experience at this restaurant! I absolutely loved how it has maintained its 90s character, which brings back nostalgic memories of the pubs I used to visit as a kid. It perfectly suits the ambiance of the town.
Now, let's talk about the food - it was absolutely delicious! The...

Goolwa
Train station
👍 It a great historic railway run by volunteers. The only disappointment this time was being pulled by a diesel instead of steam but as the guard explained in winter when passenger numbers are down steam is too costly. The advantage was we had the carriage almost to ourselves a window seat each, for...

Goolwa Bakery
Bakery
😠 Under new management and don’t bother.
Pasty and sausage rolls were almost inedible. Where do I start. First the prices are sky high. I know there is inflation but 6.90 for a pasty is still very high. I’ve never seen so much oil and butter seeping into the bag. Inside of the pasty was like mush. M...
