The historic town of Goolwa stands at the mouth of the Murray River on Lake Alexandrina, just an hour’s drive from Adelaide through breathtaking countryside.

Visit Hindmarsh Island and the Coorong which provides kilometres of unspoiled wetlands and at the end of the day you can enjoy award winning local wines.

Location and area
Goolwa is located approximately 88km from Adelaide (1hr 10min drive). St Brigids is located on the outskirts of Goolwa Beach on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula. The retreat adjoins a native reserve and is close to shops, a golf course and the Murray River.
Goolwa is a town tailored for water-sport enthusiasts. You can also plot a voyage of discovery from your own powerboat, yacht or canoe or sit back and enjoy a tour on a grand paddle steamer. As Goolwa represents the point where the Murray River meets the sea, this historic town was once one of Australia’s major ports and has a history rich in shipbuilding, trade and transport, which is now a growing tourist and holiday centre.
