The Space:
At Home on Haynes… Create Memories on the Fleurieu Coast
Whether you’re escaping for a romantic weekend, the school holidays, or a well-earned family getaway, Home on Haynes is your perfect base to relax, reconnect, and explore the best of the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula.
Start your day with a peaceful beach walk, or set off on a new adventure — take a ride on the historic Cockle Train or cruise along the river aboard the iconic Paddle Steamer. Head out to the Goolwa Barrage to spot playful seals, and if you’re lucky, you might even see a boat pass through the lock while you’re there.
Adventure or indulgence — the choice is yours. Discover the natural beauty of the Coorong with a tour on the Spirit of the Coorong, or settle in for a long, lazy lunch and a glass of local wine at one of the local wineries.
Everything is within easy reach: stroll to Kuti Shack for fresh local seafood, visit the Goolwa Surf Lifesaving Club, or wander down to the riverfront, where kids can enjoy a fabulous playground and BBQ area while you take in the coastal breeze.
Whether you’re seeking excitement, serenity, or a little of both, Home on Haynes offers the ideal mix of coastal charm and contemporary comfort — the perfect spot to make memories that last long after you’ve left.
The home is situated a 10 minute stroll to the local beach and right next to a local playground, ideal for the kids who are still looking to play before the sun goes down.
Step inside the front door to fresh coastal décor in open plan living, with dining, and kitchen overlooking the enclosed backyard to keep an eye on the kids playing.
A comfy and generous open plan living area (incl. chaise lounge that comfortably seats 5- 6 adults) is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach, by the river, or enjoying many of the local surrounds. A large (65in) smart TV is provided, and connected to the NBN, with Wi-Fi available to all guests throughout. Split system air-conditioning provides further, year-round comfort to this area.
The kitchen area provides all you’ll need for your stay – full-sized fridge, oven, electric cooktop, microwave, toaster, kettle, dishwasher, and Nespresso coffee machine (with pods) for those early morning starts. A large walk-in pantry is the perfect place to store collected goodies and treasures from the many local Goolwa stores and markets.
Dining options are plentiful. Choose from the indoor dining table (extendable to 8), or head outside to the new outdoor dining setting with accompanying BBQ area. Alternatively, relax using the new patio furniture out among the shaded deck area as you catch up on a good book or share a game of cards with friends or family; all while surrounded by the gentle lull of the ocean and warble of magpies.
The fresh and bright décor is carried through to all recently refurbished bedrooms with views over the front deck and garden, and ceiling fans for additional cooling.
Bedroom 1 can accommodate all family configurations. It is large enough for all the children to share; parents can room in with younger children; or 2 couples can share the space. Storage space is aplenty with chest of drawers and built-in wardrobes available for all guests.
Bedroom 2 can accommodate another couple with a double bed and built in robe.
The final bedroom is generously sized with queen sized bed and large walk-in wardrobe and drawers for storage.
Finally, the property is serviced by a huge 6 x 9m shed (with 2.5m metre clearance) for those looking to take advantage of the many local marinas or ample opportunities for a range of water activities.
Whatever your vacation needs, Home on Haynes will have you covered…

Goolwa suburban retreat
My initial experience was not good. The front door was and is permanently locked. Access isn’t easy with a suitcase due to a gravel path!Eventually was able to access the house from the back entrance. Steep steps made lifting cases difficult. No instructions supplied by agent. Once inside the house decor was attractive & functional. No instructions from the agent about anything practical save wifi. They did send a handyman to explain the tv and microwave which was essential. It is an attractively furnished house and functional. Just don’t bring any fitted sheets. The beds don’t allow access to tuck sheets on but easier if not fitted!
