Beladura - 35 Goolwa Channel Drive Hindmarsh Island - Linen Included

We had a lovely stay. The location was fantastic, with beautiful views of the Murray River from all the front rooms and front deck. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of supplies, including oil, salt, pepper, and sugar, as well as others, which isn’t always provided at properties, and was really appreciated. The house was clean, comfortable, and situated in a quiet location, making it perfect for a peaceful getaway. Beautiful sunsets!

There wasn’t really anything we disliked about the property.

The prevailing reason to choose this accommodation is location. Let me say that again. Location. You will not beat it in the Coorong. When we weren't out and about, we spent five days gazing out of the window or on the verandah, absolutely mesmerized by the view and the amazing wildlife that would regularly pay us a visit. If you like to watch pelicans and seals, choose this place. We found the accommodation comfortable, and really liked the little retreat out the back which had a good supply of games. The Coorong Cafe is just around the corner if you're wanting a feed of fish and chips. You'll also find canoe hire at the same location. I highly recommend getting out onto the water.

You are in nature here, so there can be ants. The kitchen doesn't have a pantry, so we had to be careful with keeping food out on the benches. Certainly not a deal breaker. Just be sensible with food storage (we weren't on one occasion). Seal everything tightly and you won't be bothered.

Very comfortable beds and couches. Lovely views. Nice location. Nice to have two living areas and books there.

There were dirty dishes and cutlery in cupboard -( and ants in kitchen which we understand can happen in regional places) but dirty plates in cupboard may not have helped. Bedside lamps on both sides of bed would have been good ( only in one side in our room) “Wood fire” advertised as highlight of house but only a very small starter kit with enough wood to start up fire was given - - we would have brought wood from home had we been forewarned. Some maintenance issues with windows ( hard to open) and main door. Doormats would have been good. There was muddy footprints all over verandah when we arrived. Frying pan was thick with rust/ built on burnt bits and unusable.

The view was lovely. The jetty for fishing was great. The rooms were spacious. The 2 living spaces were great. The decking would have been awesome if it was not wet. The bedrooms facing the water was lovely.

The BBQ was not clean… the area had spiders and webs everywhere. The decking furniture had spider webs everywhere and we had to clean that area ourself. The tiles in the bathroom are not the right tiles and are slippery. The steps water front side need rails. The oven was not clean. The price of the cleaning fee was ridiculous considering the property was not clean for us coming in. When i enquired to come out later on the Sunday we were told it would cost more which is ridiculous considering we couldn’t get in until 2….
