Beach Stay at Coobowie
Comfortable clean welcoming home with easy parking right on the beach with bedrooms and lounge areas overlooking the sea across the Bay to Edithburgh with unobscured views of wind turbines. Great for walks on the beach with Pelicans, Swans, and other bird life there daily. Just a short drive to the historic township of Edithburgh where all needed facilities are present. Guy and Julie are great hosts, available and easy to contact. The new 75-inch Samsung TV and ensuite bathroom to bedroom 1 which are in the process of being added will be excellent additions to the home. Thanks, Guy, for being so helpful in response to all questions. Clive Carol and Otis [the Cocker Spaniel]

Beautiful accommodation in a quiet setting
Smooth Sailing at Coobowie is a lovely 3 bedroom, beach front house which was clean and comfortable and well maintained. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and the house is also dog friendly, with a secure back yard. Its a very short walk down a well worn path to the beach and short walk to the pub where you can get a decent meal. There is also a general store in the town who have a large variety of takeaway food. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodation and found the owners very helpful. Coobowie itself has limited facilities however, it's a 5 minute drive to the next town which has an IGA, cafe, tackle shop and an interesting museum.

Relaxing, fun, stay
Partner and I and two pets stayed at Coobowie Smooth Sailing mid March. What a little gem of a cottage/ house! Soon to be even better with an ensuite glamour boost. We stayed 4 nights. Be prepared for a brisk sea breeze, (there is a reason you can see a wind farm across the bay), but the front verandah is reasonably protected as is the enclosed back yard. Lots of local eating options, walks, beaches, you can't go wrong. Pets were negotiated and our cats had some walks on leads out the front, lots of fun. They also loved staring at the ocean/birds as the view is really great. We hope to return.

I have stayed here many times over the years and will continue to keep coming back! The hosts are fabulous communicators, and have set up the house very well. Safe parking, a secure yard for the little doggo’s. Nice kitchen with dishwasher, laundry facilities, comfy beds and a spectacular view from bedrooms, even providing you with a sink for cleaning fish if you’re lucky enough to catch one! Thanks again for a great stay Guy & Julie! - the Begley’s!

Smooth Sailing is a lovely house set on the beach at Coobowie. A perfect spot for an early morning walk followed by breakfast on the verandah. The rooms were all spacious and comfortable and the area is quite peaceful. A great place to unwind and relax for a few days.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Feb 2024
Thank you for your response, Bill. We apologize for the dog. We have just come back from the shack and he is better even 6 weeks since your stay. We have received council approval to build a carport with a filled-in side, on the boundary, on the side where the dog is. Acoustic Insulation included. Without sight of us next door, and the dog not eeing us, I believe this will restore the amenity we have offered clients over the last 15 years of holiday letting at Coobowie. In addition, we have lodged for approval for an ensuite off master brm. Construction is booked to start 26 Feb 2024, in 3 weeks. Also double-glazed windows across the ocean front..... This is exciting. Please be in touch for next Xmas, should you be considering a future stay with us. Xmas bookings book fast if you are interested. Thank you and your family for your support. Best Guy and Julie

Tranquil Views
Beautifully appointed house. Easy parking for cars and boats. Great views from inside the house and fabulous views out on the deck. If we weren’t out fishing or walking we spent 90 percent of our time on the front deck. We had all our meals on this lovely deck. There is also a lovely entertaing area at the rear with a gorgeous garden. Caught heaps of huge gar and Georgie boys. Thanks for great stay.

A really relaxing place to take the family and pooch! We loved the cleanliness of the property, and it had adequate space and everything we needed for a family of 5 including teenagers.

A Slice of Heaven!
I was very tempted to give a bad rating for this property, just so we could have it all to ourselves!! My wife and I were seeking a very quiet winter getaway, and we discovered a slice of heaven with this property... The location is magnificent, and due to visiting off-peak in winter (July), we found we had the entire beach to ourselves. The location of the house is a short walk across the lawn and down a small path and you're right on the beach - which is perfect for walking and beach-combing. We took our own portable modem which allowed us to obtain internet access - which we hardly used... Our days were filled with beach walks and just sitting with a coffee and reading or watching the abundant bird-life in the low scrub; we even saw a large hawk / small eagle searching for prey! The house has many modern conveniences, however the local pub does take-away - we can highly recommend the CallaCoobowie (calamari schnitzel with prawn & garlic sauce), and we also purchased fish & chips from the Coobowie Store to help spread the love around the town :) Other local towns are only a short drive away, and for the collectors, Spog's Shed in Mintabie is worth checking out for an afternoon drive - be prepared for a chat. Overall, we can't rate this place highly enough and it will hopefully become our 'go-to' winter getaway from Adelaide. Many thanks to the owners who presented an excellent property and were great with communication - sentational :)

Relaxing short holiday
We had a relaxing and comfortable 4 night family holiday with our kids and furbaby. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and the house was warm and cosy for our winter stay. We brought our own fitted bed sheets, pillow cases, towels, tea towels and bathroom mat as per instructions. The pillows were a little too soft for us and we thought that it would have been better to have some more supplies to compliment our 4 night stay with a family of 4. We had 2 dish tablets, 2 sml bin liners and 1 & 1/4 rolls of toilet paper. Overall we would recommend to family and friends and would most definitely return again.
