About Us

The Australasian Circa 1858 is an award-winning, boutique private hotel offering luxury Goolwa accommodation only 70 minutes from Adelaide. It offers five totally unique, modern Asian-themed suites, daily room servicing, concierge and Chef-prepared breakfasts - delivered discreetly to your door on a tray-mobile. The Australasian Dining Room is exclusively for house guests except for our popular public Saturday night, when Chef Juliet Michell presents a three course, Asian-inspired set menu. The Australasian is adjacent the Goolwa Wharf from where Coorong cruises depart and is an easy 30 minute drive to the McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek wineries. Clean swimming and surfing beaches are minutes away and whale watching is a popular activity in the cooler months. The hotel is included in the Australian Gourmet Traveller Hotel Guide, the Lonely Planet guidebook for Australia and the Beautiful Accommodation collection. 2013 Winner (Hosted Accommodation) and 2012 Winner (Luxury Accommodation) in the South Australian Tourism Awards.
