Beautiful accommodation in a quiet setting

Smooth Sailing at Coobowie is a lovely 3 bedroom, beach front house which was clean and comfortable and well maintained. There was plenty of space for 6 adults and the house is also dog friendly, with a secure back yard. Its a very short walk down a well worn path to the beach and short walk to the pub where you can get a decent meal. There is also a general store in the town who have a large variety of takeaway food. Overall we were very impressed with the accommodation and found the owners very helpful. Coobowie itself has limited facilities however, it's a 5 minute drive to the next town which has an IGA, cafe, tackle shop and an interesting museum.

Relaxing, fun, stay

Partner and I and two pets stayed at Coobowie Smooth Sailing mid March. What a little gem of a cottage/ house! Soon to be even better with an ensuite glamour boost. We stayed 4 nights. Be prepared for a brisk sea breeze, (there is a reason you can see a wind farm across the bay), but the front verandah is reasonably protected as is the enclosed back yard. Lots of local eating options, walks, beaches, you can't go wrong. Pets were negotiated and our cats had some walks on leads out the front, lots of fun. They also loved staring at the ocean/birds as the view is really great. We hope to return.

Always Amazing

I have stayed here many times over the years and will continue to keep coming back! The hosts are fabulous communicators, and have set up the house very well. Safe parking, a secure yard for the little doggo’s. Nice kitchen with dishwasher, laundry facilities, comfy beds and a spectacular view from bedrooms, even providing you with a sink for cleaning fish if you’re lucky enough to catch one! Thanks again for a great stay Guy & Julie! - the Begley’s!
