About this property
Piccolina Floating Accomodation
Welcome to Piccolina! Cozy luxury floating accomodation located in the historic Captain Sturt marina on the River Murray at Goolwa. This floating haven blends modern elegance with maritime charm, providing a one-of-a-kind escape from the everyday. Perfect for couples seeking a unique and romantic stay, Piccolina (meaning little one in Italian) features all the amenities needed for a relaxing and indulgent holiday experience. The space Piccolina features a queen bed with quality French flax linen by Bed Threads. We have a small ensuite bathroom with shower, toilet & sink. Toiletries by Jurlique are provided, and soft towels by Sheridan. Lovely linen robes & slippers provide you with some extra pampering. There is a comfy lounge to relax on, smart TV to stream from your device and a dining area. All with views of the river, marina, Hindmarsh Island bridge and historic wooden boats. There is a fully equipped kitchen with gas stove & oven, small fridge and pantry staples. The Nespresso Creatista Pro coffee machine provides the perfect coffee every time, with touch screen & 9 coffee options. The front deck features a bench with views up the river to watch the sunrise. The back deck is protected from the elements with a marine grade BBQ, dining set, outdoor lounge & festoon lighting. Plenty of space to relax! Privacy is important - therefore Piccolina has tinted windows for daytime seclusion, and blinds & curtains for night time solitude if desired. Guest access You'll have Piccolina all to yourselves! She is located in the gated Captain Sturt marina, slip way & boat building facility. There is free parking on site. The gates are open during business hours, and a code will be provided for outside of these hours. There is also a pedestrian gate. All within walking distance is the historic Goolwa Wharf precinct, main street with shops, restaurants and other tourist attractions. Other things to note Please note Piccolina is not suitable for children or pets due to its proximity to the river. There are cameras in the public areas of the marina, but not on Piccolina or the jetty she is attached to. Piccolina has a low ceiling height (6f7in) and beams (6f4in), so if you are taller, you might want to rethink your stay. There is a step up into the front and back of Piccolina so please be mindful of this during your stay. Also the jetty is located on the edge of the main river channel, therefore it can get a little rough & windy. There will be movement onboard during these times. Also when large boats pass by. Please reconsider if you suffer badly from motion sickness, otherwise you get used to any movement pretty quickly. We have restricted power supply at the marina, so no electric kettle or toaster. We have a gas kettle & grill for toasting.

We had the most wonderful stayThe House Boat is in a super safe gated locationIt was spotlessly clean and all the little extras were a welcome treatWalking distance to the main street,the subday marketWe especially loved the birdlife and the oassing boatsSuch a fabulous experience we honesty could not fault it
This little houseboat is a true gem. It is beautifully appointed - the hosts have thought of everything to create a truly relaxing break. Loved the location, views across the water and the peace and quiet; just the sound of water lapping around us. Thank you!

The Piccolina is beautiful! The host has created a wonderfully tranquil space for two, thoughtful tastful decor with lovely treats and amenities. Great location too. Thank you Monique, i didn't want to leave!
We LOVED our stay!You're within walking distance to the Cockle Train, Oscar W for a cruise or the main street of Goolwa for a coffee, lunch or dinner. Theres also heating and cooling for your trip, so you're comfortable for any time of the year.Piccolina is beautifully presented and a very relaxing getaway.
Thank you Monique. We had a quiet and peaceful stay. Very comfortable and cozy. Tastefully curated and very clean. Perfect location to restaurants, galleries and the Sunday market. We loved staying at your floating accommodation.
We really loved this accomodation, the houseboat was a joy ,the area was lovely ,waking up to the pelicans flying overhead and very peaceful. Would do this again in a heartbeat .
Staying on the Piccolina was a lovely and novel experience for us. The houseboat was immaculately kept, had all the necessities for our stay, plus our host had left a few little bonus items that made us feel very welcome and at home.Our host was excellent when communicating with us about our stay, being prompt and polite, which made us feel well taken care of. If you are looking for a cute, novel getaway experience, look no further.
We both were amazed at the quality of your accommodation. Everything exceeded our expectations, so much so that we have already booked another stay.My only concern (and this is not a complaint about the venue) was my ignorance as the working of the coffee machine. I'll make sure that I am well trained before my next stay. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.
Very cosy little houseboat. Furnished beautifully. Has everything you can think of and the host left some little treats/condiments for us which was very thoughtful. We lost power on the Sat night/Sun morning but my Husband found the meter box on the wharf bridge and flicked it back on again. Would go again at some point for sure :)
We had such a beautiful stay on Piccolina! The boat was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and luxurious getaway. Waking up on the water was such a special experience. The location was perfect, and the check in process was smooth. Monique was friendly and made everything so easy. Highly recommend this unique stay!
