It’s rare to be called a ‘local hero’ for simply acquiring a block of land but, when Marianne Robins settled her Carrickalinga property in 2021, the community breathed a collective sigh of relief. Marianne purchased an infamous ‘eyesore’ on Carrickalinga’s esplanade, a partially finished three-storey structure that had plagued. the community since the build was halted in 2015 for breaching its council-approved height. Hailing from the Adelaide suburb of Medindie, Marianne tore down the six-year-old skeleton to begin her own build. Thankfully, the notorious block now hosts her elegant (and council-approved) two-storey holiday home by Finesse Built.

For artist Kathy Doley, the rugged beauty of native flora not only serves as artistic muse but as a profound reflection of her own creative path — one marked by a love of the land, her everevolving artistry and resilience. Kathy’s backyard studio, a gallery of expressive flowers painted on a field of canvases, is testament to her love of native flora. ‘I’ve been using a mix of oil and acrylic to paint florals for a long time and I still love them. Each time I paint one I want to go back and do it a little differently to the last, knowing that innately I come out in all of them,’ Kathy explains.

Jamie Knott grew up on the north coast of New South Wales. When he was twelve his parents bought a holiday house at Macmasters Beach north of Sydney. For Jamie it was one of the best things his parents ever did. The two-storey brick bungalow had weathered character and a towering Norfolk Pine out the front. So many happy memories were made there. As an adult, Jamie and his young family relocated to Victor Harbor with plans to buy and sell real estate, hoping to make enough profit to return to the NSW central coast and buy into what was and still is a far more expensive real estate market. Yet, twenty-six years later, he’s still here, with no regrets.

How good is Goolwa? That’s the favourite rhetorical question of a local who’s grateful to live here. The answer? The beach, the river and the Coorong. The wooden boats and the steam trains. Fish and the bird life; galleries and shops; pubs, cafes and restaurants; tours and water sport; and of course history and heritage.
Goolwa is packed with great businesses run by people who are eager to engage their skills and passion to accommodate, feed and inspire you. Here are just a few.

Martin House is in an enviable position in the old survey area of Port Willunga. The built heritage area has evolved over time, from the colonial stone buildings of the late 1800s, to fishing shacks, postwar holiday homes, sixties permanent residents, and now to architecturally designed homes dotting the area. Combining a sixties’ home with modernist additions and reconstruction, Martin House on Martin Street faces north adjacent to the linear park – a favoured dog-walking area – and is just a stone’s throw from the pristine waters of the beach.
