LOCAL ATTRACTIONS - THE FLEURIEU  
 
  • Gateway to Coorong National Park, the mighty Murray river and lakes system
  • Enjoy the steam powered 'Cockle train' running between Goolwa, Port Elliott and victor Harbour, or even a horse drawn tram
  • During summer, people are drawn to long golden stretches of sand to catch a seabreeze, great surfing and fishing opportunities, and from June to October winter whale watching.
  • Make time to visit Hindmarsh Island and stand at the point where Australia's most important waterway, the Murray River, finally meets the sea.
  • The wines and produce of the Fleurieu Peninsula are well established in the hearts of gourmet lovers. Collectively there are over sixty cellar door experiences.
  • Eat out if you wish. Very good local hotel meals, restaurant and Café eating and a variety of excellent local bakeries. Our personal favourites are a light lunch at the whistlestop Café in Goolwa, breakfast or lunch at the Flying Fish Café in Port Elliot, or a quick trip to Hindmarsh Island for the “best” hamburger at Rankins Landing.
  • The bike track now extends all the way to Goolwa from Victor Harbor for those who enjoy a “Sunday Pedal”.
  • For those with a Four Wheel drive vechile available, the drive to the Murray Mouth is not to be missed.
  • At any given time there are always a number of activities to share:
    • Swimming or Surfing at Goolwa Beach
    • Sailing, Cruising or Windsurfing on the Waterways
    • Pelican or Birdwatching
    • Rod Fishing in the reeds or Cockling at the beach
    • 18 Hole golf courses at Goolwa and Victor Harbor
    • Country Football
    • Local Wine Tasting
    • Country Markets and Craft Shows
    • Cockle train Rides…………………..just to name a few

Or forget all of the above, and relax with a book or just watching TV. Sit back and relax with a glass in hand and watch the birds taking off.
An absolutely stunning view!
