25.01.2022 Our latest review: Belinda's place (aka Mum & Dad's place) is light filled, warm and very clean. We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed the many treats she genero...usly left for us, pastries, local bacon, free range eggs, good coffee, tea and more!! We also enjoyed walking into town on Sunday morning for the local growers market and walking out to the Barrage Sunday afternoon to see the sunset. If you are looking for a cosy, comfortable place to stay in Goolwa we have no hesitation in recommending Belinda's AirBnB. Vikki, Michael and Josh See more

25.01.2022 A long wknd in Goolwa, happy that our guests Crystal and her daughter enjoyed their break. Our latest review: A great place to stay in Goolwa!! Belindas cottage is very warm and homely and close to the encounter bike way. It was a lovely getaway with personal touches! Very reasonably priced and excellent communication.

23.01.2022 Very grateful to all our guests that have recommended our family cottage, the Roberts family are now super hosts!

21.01.2022 Our latest review: Pelicanus is a true hidden gem! The hospitality from the host was second to none! Everything had been thought of, including stocked pantry and beautiful selection of high quality local produce for breakfast. The kitchen was fully equiped, making 'eating at home' very convenient, but we also enjoyed Goolwa's waterfront dining options which were within comfortable walking distance. Nestled between a mixture of local private residences and holiday homes, the neighbourhood was nice and quiet. The cottage was extremely clean and helped make you feel like you were on holidays from the second you stepped through the door! We stayed 3 nights, but left feeling like we'd been there a week! We will definitely be returning to pelicanus. Renae.

21.01.2022 Our latest review - From Patrick: You can't go past this one for a top rate holiday house. A very obliging hostess, great local knowledge, and a real consideration for her guests. Excellent amenities and great value for money.

21.01.2022 A review from our most recent guest Melissa: We had the pleasure of staying at Pelicanus for the Easter break. The cottage is lovely and quaint, and you immediately feel right at home. Pelicanus is great for a small family like ours (2 adults/2 children), and the main tourist area is walkable with a playground along the way. Belinda is a wonderful host and went above and beyond - there were lovely breakfast provisions, hot water bottles, she even left baby shampoo for our little one! We truly felt so cared for and humbled by her generosity. Belinda I can't thank you enough - we will be back!

21.01.2022 Thanks to all our lovely guests... we love hosting you, we are proud to be reach Super Host status again!

18.01.2022 The new GRYC website is great, you can even check the local weather...

17.01.2022 Our latest review from Nic and Nigel and their son: thanks to another beautiful family who are welcome back anytime. My husband and three year old stayed at Belinda's cottage for three nights. Belinda was warm and welcoming and gave advice on local attractions that suited our interests, particularly my husband's passion for birdwatching! The cottage was very clean. Note there is no fence for young kids however this is common with all the holiday homes in the area. With such beautiful big windows we could easily keep an eye on our son playing outside. Belinda was very generous in allowing us a late check out. It was also so handy having beach towels provided...one less thing to cart in the car trip!

16.01.2022 Today our family cottage became a super host on Airbnb, I just wanted to thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are so grateful of the bookings, reviews and feedback that we have received, and you are a part of that. So thanks once again.

14.01.2022 We hope everyone enjoyed the long wknd. Thank you to our last guests, we a glad you enjoyed Goolwa. Guest book: Faizal & Family Thank you for the wonderful long weekend that we got to spend in your lovely, cosy cottage. The extra touches of fresh herbs and the breakfast bar were awesome, as well as the games and Dvd selection which kept our kids entertained through out our stay. It was great just relaxing in the beautiful homey atmosphere that you have created. We will definitely recommend your cottage and hopefully be back ourselves. Thank you.

12.01.2022 Our latest review: 'Even though it was rainy looking out over the beautiful garden was really relaxing and a pleasure. Full stocked pantry with delicious fresh herbs and breakfast foods. A true home away from home. Belinda went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for a delightful stay!'

12.01.2022 Thanks so much Sally for your kind words in both the guest book and on Airbnb, we are happy you had a great stay. Belinda is a wonderful host! Her house is cosy and very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, lots of fluffy towels, good quality sheets on the comfy beds. and in a great location less than a ten minute walk to the beach. Most of all, though, we appreciated Belinda's generosity and thoughtfulness. We've stayed in lots of AirBNB's in Australia and overseas bu...t I have never encountered this level of hospitality before. She provided everything needed to make a sumptious breakfast - muesli, eggs, bacon, baked beans, tomatoes, bread, Danish pastries, tea, coffee, fruit - plus a bottle of wine (texting us beforehand to ask if we'd like red or white), cheese and crackers to welcome us on arrival. The kitchen cupboard is well stocked with staple foods and you're just asked to replace if you use them up; the bathroom is similarly well supplied, there are games to play, DVDs to watch, lots of tourist info... Thank you Belinda - we'll definitely recommend you to any friends heading to Goolwa. See more

11.01.2022 Thanks to our Lovely visitors Gill & Chris from the UK, we appreciate your glowing review.

09.01.2022 Juli, we are so pleased your parents & daughter enjoyed their stay: My parents, visiting from Germany, stayed at Belinda's place with our three-year-old daughter for three nights and were absolutely overwhelmed by Belinda's hospitality, the house as well as all the extras that were provided. There was nothing missing. Belinda arranged an early check-in for them, the fridge was filled with delicious food and a selection of fresh herbs was available. Matilda loved the variety of books and toys. The house was spotless. All in all a 'cottage you could live in.'

09.01.2022 It is a lovely day in Goolwa and the weather is going to be great for the long weekend. Hardest decision is if we walk to the Aquacaf for brunch by the river or Bombora for lunch at the beach.

09.01.2022 Whale watching along the coast? For information and the latest sightings see: http://www.victor.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=437

06.01.2022 A review from our guest family this week - Jacqui & Steve: Pelicanus is incredibly quiet and comfortable yet still close to everything- beach, town, wharf etc. Belinda has thought of everything from fresh herbs and produce, and a well-stocked pantry to toothbrushes and toothpaste in case you've forgotten it. Highly recommend this cute little cottage. Thanks Belinda (and dad Graham) for being so prompt with communication as well.

04.01.2022 Another beautiful weekend in Goolwa. Yesterday was the Open Day for the Sailing seaon at the Goolwa Regatta Yacht Club and today the Port Elliott Show.

04.01.2022 If you would like a little time away (within the beautiful state of SA), we have availability. The river & the sea are waiting to welcome you.

02.01.2022 We greatly appreciate our latest review on Airbnb from Saravan and his family: We had a lovely 3 day stay, with 2 young kids. Belinda did a fabulous job as hostess, setting the place up with beautiful fresh produce for our arrival - breakfast and bubbles too! Fresh linen was also appreciated, and the pantry was well stocked if we needed any extras. Belinda also gave lots of extra thought to tailoring for us too - kids games, books and DVDs aplenty. The house is very clean, c...omfortable and homely for a small family. Great location just a couple of blocks from the river and a short drive into town. There is an excellent nature play playground close by for kids. Its a quiet neighbourhood with slow traffic so although there are no fences, we were comfortable with our kids playing outside in the front yard - they loved it and we could keep an eye on them. Wed be happy to stay again. See more
