About this bed and breakfast
Eco-friendly, off grid solar powered (12 volts) system. Renewable energy for less impact on the environment.
The PS Federal paddle steamer built in 1902 now rests on stilts in the River Murray adjacent the bird sanctuary where spoon-billed cranes, pelicans, black swan families, egret, purple swamp hens, dusky moorhens and black-winged stilt reside. Ideally located on River within walking distance of Goolwa beach.
Relaxation and leisure time are so important and you will unwind as soon as you step aboard the PS Federal!
Bottle of wine provided to welcome you on arrival. Cereal, milk, bread, tea, coffee, bacon & eggs for first morning of your stay. A vegetarian option is available upon request. Towels and bed linen are supplied.
Guests have complete privacy as PS Federal is fully self contained accommodation.
Not just a place to stay but a unique accommodation experience on the Fleurieu Peninsula on board the Paddle Steamer P.S. FEDERAL.
87 kilometres from Adelaide
and close to the River Mouth where the Murray River completes its journey and joins the Southern Ocean.
It's ideally located for sailing windsurfing, and skiing and yet is within walking distance of the lovely township of Goolwa.
This pristine location has the calmness of being on the River Murray as well as the energising surf of Goolwa Beach just a short walk around the corner.
Close to the best local cuisine: Aquacaf on the River and just around the corner on Goolwa Beach are the most delicious fish burgers and gourmet menu at Bombora.
Getting around:
Trips on the Wood fired Paddle Steamer Oscar W
Steam Train trips to Victor Harbor
Tours to the Coorong
Lots of interesting walks
South Lakes Golf Club
Goolwa Markets
Bike Hire
Wineries
Property
Two upstairs bedrooms, large lounge and kitchen downstairs. Scenic windows waterside with views of Hindmarsh Island and bird sanctuary as well as upper and lower decks with outdoor seating.
Please take care of this beautiful old boat, she's 113 years old!

A very old riverboat with great amenities, in a wonderful location on the edge of the river surrounded by birdlife and reed beds. Exceptional breakfast provided also.

Whilst it was only one night. We loved it. So magical to sit and watch dusk fall over the water. Everything we needed was there, and wow the beds were so warm it was great.
