Peaceful location
We had a very nice stay here. The studio we stayed in was facing the water and it was nice to spend some time on the verandah watching boats go by. The room was clean, had everything we needed and the area was quiet so we managed to relax and sleep well.

This was a great little place to stay, right on the water, plenty of parking space. Well suited for couples, but my daughter and I stayed in the family cabin which has a double bed and double sofa bed. Really nice little place, can wander onto the wharf and sit on the bench at the end to watch sunset. Host was very helpful and friendly.

Haven by name, haven by nature.
We loved our couple of nights and will definitely look to return. Staying in the studio was like staying on a boat but without the rocking. Very private and relaxing with very friendly and helpful hosts.

A few unique and fine detail touches that made our stay so delightful.
The wind protected patio, complete with fairy lights and heater.
Comfortable bed, plenty of pillows and quality linen.
Tastey local bubbles in the fridge and push bikes provided to make it easier to access local area.
Super friendly owner on sight.
We had a great stay. Thank you so much

Situated right over the water, property gave spectacular views over the river. Spotless interior and everything looked nice and fresh. Nice outside area for relaxing with a coffee and taking in the river. Probably one of the most unique and best places we have stayed.

hese studios are a hidden gem in a beautiful town of Goolwa. We stayed in Studio No 2, which is located right over water in an incredibly romantic setting. With peaceful river views and lovely sunsets we had little desire to leave the studio. And there was no need to go out in the evening because everything was there, a well-equipped kitchenette and a bottle of champagne thoughtfully left for us by our kind hosts.
The room was tastefully decorated and our bed was comfortable. It was like sleeping on a luxury boat without the motion sickness.
The bathroom was spacious and modern with a great shower.
In Boat Heaven studio we felt as on a mini honeymoon.
We hope to return to this magic place someday.
