The Lazy Palm Beach Shack—Retro-Coastal Charm

Lazy Palm captures the spirit of classic coastal living—easy, nostalgic, and made for unhurried days by the sea. This refreshed 70s beach house radiates light, space, and effortless calm, with whitewashed interiors, timber accents, and subtle palm motifs setting a relaxed holiday tone from the moment you step through the cheerful pink door.

The air-conditioned main living area invites you to unwind with leather sofas, ceiling fans, and a smart TV. The bright, fully equipped kitchen makes home cooking a pleasure, featuring an island bench, modern appliances, and a Nespresso machine for your morning ritual. The adjoining dining area flows seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining zone, where you can fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco beneath the covered patio. A separate second lounge offers extra space for families to spread out, ideal for movie nights, games, or quiet downtime.

Each of the three bedrooms is styled for simplicity and rest—two with queen beds and the third with a single-over-double bunk. Each is finished with fresh linen and ceiling fans. The bathroom includes a generous walk-in shower and locally sourced bath products for your stay.

A laundry with a washer and ironing board adds convenience for longer visits, while the fully fenced yard offers a safe space for children or pets to play. With free parking, Wi-Fi, and self check-in via keypad, everything here is designed for a breezy, stress-free coastal escape.

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves, except the lock-up shed, which remains unavailable for guest use. Please make yourselves at home!

Cosy, clean and comfortable cottage close to the beach. We had the best time here. Lots of board games and also streaming tv for when the weather was really windy and rainy. Also lots of appliances to cook with so we had capacity to cook n eat well. Our puppy had a great time running from front to back yard (and down at the beach). Lovely bbq area with gorgeous lights for fun outdoor entertaining. Would love to stay here again. Thanks Mel for a beautiful accommodation.

The property was lovely but unfortunately we felt the effects of the algal bloom with sore itchy eyes, scratchy sore throat, coughing, which isn't the property's fault (stayed September 2025). Hopefully things will improve soon, everywhere

Amazing beach house that is 2 minutes walk to Goolwa beach. Incredibly modern home with all you need

This was the best beach house experience I’ve had. The house is so modern, very open spaces and very clean. The cleanliness of the property is quite impressive. The owner has thought of everything to make the stay as pleasant as possible. Even the small things (but important when aggregated together) like super fast wifi, dedicated Netflix account, washing machine available, Nespresso machine, modern and clean crockery and cutlery set, board games, power sockets with USB input, electric blankets, etc. Check in process with lock combination immediately sent via email is super convenient. The location is just incredible. Any closer to Goolwa beach and it’ll be ridiculous. I’d definitely be back!
