Harbour Masters Residence - Goolwa Wharf Precinct

The Goolwa Wharf Precinct, gateway to the Fleurieu Peninsula, River Murray, Coorong, and Southern Ocean, is being reimagined, giving businesses a once in a generation opportunity to be part of the rebirth of a South Australian tourism icon.

In addition to a multi-million-dollar redevelopment of the Precinct, due for completion in 2024, a number of remarkable premises are up for lease and investment, including premium property, the historic Harbour Masters Residence.

Harbour Masters Residence:

This grand old residence is perched on top of the hill, in a prime Wharf Precinct location, and at the centre of the Goolwa visitor experience. The building invites transformation into boutique accommodation, a high-end function centre, or a restaurant. Alternatively, it could function as office space, an art gallery, or more. A large private garden to the rear, surrounded by banksias, offers delightful views to the river. Your investment in the redevelopment, which this building would require, promises an extraordinary outcome.
