Relax in style - mineral spa, games room, trampoline, fireplace (Pet friendly)

Just behind the sand dunes and only a few steps from the beach is The Surfrider Lodge - this stylish beach house was inspired by the iconic Surfrider Lodge in Malibu and offers the very best of relaxed coastal living. Its location at the beach end of Bradford Road is the most sought after along the surf coast due to proximity to the waves, access to the Kuti Shack and Surf Club and its position directly on the Encounter Way bike path that takes you all the way to Victor Harbour. In Goolwa itself there is a shopping centre, restaurants and cafes plus the famous wharf precinct with winery/distillery, art galleries and markets.

The property itself offers everything you could want for a getaway.

Perfect spot for a girls weekend to enjoy a long lunch at the iconic Kuti shack and a short walk home along the beach. A fireplace to enjoy cosy nights in and to top off the perfect holiday there is a fully fenced mineral spa positioned on the back deck.

Families will love the backyard with the beautifully furnished games room where the young (or young at heart) can enjoy the retro video game console, fuse ball table, large screen TV, dart board and a large storage trunk filled with board games and jigsaw puzzles. The trampoline, large swing and hot tub will keep everyone playing happily outside all holiday.

For a working holiday the games room is equipped with a full sized desk and office chair along with high speed Wifi to enable the perfect peaceful home office.

Imagine a day spent surfing, or watching the kids cockling on the beach, followed by a meal at the famous Kuti Shack or beer at the Goolwa Surf Club and finish with a soak in the spa listening to the waves crash on the beach.

This stylish lodge has all the amenities you could want including air conditioning/ heating, fireplace, high speed Wifi, Netflix, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and of course the mineral spa, stunning games room, trampoline, swing, BBQ and outdoor dining.

Three bedrooms (sleeps 7)
1 x King Room
1 x Queen Room
1 x Bunk Room (with 2 x Singles plus an additional trundle underneath)

The backyard is fully fenced so pets are welcome for a small additional cleaning fee.

For guests wishing to use the mineral spa there is a one off fee of $100 to have it sparkling clean and warm ready for your arrival.

Linen is provided so when you arrive the beds are made and all ready for you to relax and enjoy your holiday. Bath towels are also provided.

More information on the Mineral Spa

Mineral spas help improve circulation, ease pain, relieve stress, as well as being gentle on the skin. The health benefits of mineral spas are extensive but a major benefit is that it can help relax your muscles – a perfect solution for post surfing, golf or a long bike ride. Increasing magnesium in the body can help relieve muscle tightness, cramps or aches and absorbing magnesium chloride through the skin is one of the best ways for your body to maintain a healthy level. If you don’t like how you skin and hair feel after swimming in a chlorine or salt water pool, then you will love the soft silky feeling a mineral spa gives you due to the Borates that remove ultra fine particles and reduce PH levels. Other benefits of a mineral spa:
*It contains anti-inflammatory agents
*Soothes the skin, relieving those with sensitive skin
*Detoxify the skin and body, by way of relaxing the nervous system.
*Restores skin elasticity and moisture to skin to help with dryness or inflammation

Perfect home away from home
Everything we needed and more for a lovely stay in Goolwa. The rumpus room was fantastic for teens and we enjoyed the luxury of the hot tub. Short walk to the beach for a run with the dog - he loved his stay too.

Loved our time at Surfrider
Our family enjoyed the most wonderful 5 nights staying at Surfrider. From long walks with our dog along Goolwa Beach to bike riding along the trail to Port Elliot, we couldn't have wished for a better experience, enjoyed by all. The kids were totally entertained in the gaming retreat out the back and spent hours on the trampoline with the basketball ring. There were so many spots to enjoy the sunshine, whether sitting out the front of the property in the morning, enjoying a coffee or sitting out the back and relaxing in the well managed, pre heated spa. The beds were super comfortable and we also appreciated the big screen TV's and fireplace in the evenings. A special big thank you for allowing us a late checkout. Thank you Surfrider. We hope to rebook again!!! Sophie and Richard

Wonderful
We stumbled upon this beautifully renovated home in a great position for a break over the Christmas period. We were greeted with a hand written card, decorations, gifts, and a very well presented home with thoughtful touches throughout from host Kylie. The property has everything a family needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Very clean and extremely well appointed. Highlights - spa, games room, and outdoor areas. Too many others to mention but we will be returning to this little gem. Thankyou Kylie and "Surfrider Lodge" for a wonderful week.
