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

Excellent location on the river. If you love the sound of water lapping on the sides of a boat then Studio 1 is definitely for you. What a pleasant way to be lulled to sleep. Good kitchen amenities are provided, including a BBQ, as well as names of local restaurants. A couple of points to note are that the studio and bathroom are both small, so not a lot of room for storing bags; and some of the usual bathroom amenities weren't provided, e.g. shower gel/soap or tissues.

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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Boat Haven Studios. We were in apartment one and it was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was great having the BBQ on the deck to cook dinner on and close enough to town to walk to cafes/restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Good communication with the hosts so check-in was easy and Rebecca was great with helping to sort out how to return an item that we left behind. Loved being right on the water and would definitely stay there again!

Our 2 night stay at Boat Haven Studios was fabulous. We stayed in unit 2 and the views of the river were wonderful, we felt as though we were on the river. The unit itself was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower and also good heating. We were greeted by the owner who was very informative and friendly. Another very nice touch was a bottle of sparkling wine which we enjoyed. Overall it was a great stay in a very peaceful environment

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.

Our 2 night stay at Boat Haven Studios was fabulous. We stayed in unit 2 and the views of the river were wonderful, we felt as though we were on the river. The unit itself was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower and also good heating. We were greeted by the owner who was very informative and friendly. Another very nice touch was a bottle of sparkling wine which we enjoyed. Overall it was a great stay in a very peaceful environment

Great spot. Unique and really special. Everything you need in the one place. Excellent day trips and then back to enjoy the wildlife on the water.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Boat Haven Studios. We were in apartment one and it was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was great having the BBQ on the deck to cook dinner on and close enough to town to walk to cafes/restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Good communication with the hosts so check-in was easy and Rebecca was great with helping to sort out how to return an item that we left behind. Loved being right on the water and would definitely stay there again!

The studio is compact but well appointed and comfortable with everything you could need. Being over the water is a lovely, tranquil experience and the views delightful. It is a very relaxing place to stay. This was our second stay and it was as good as the first. We will no doubt be back again in the future.
