AMENITIES

Life at Lakeside Resort extends well beyond the home, with a collection of amenities designed for leisure, connection and the relaxed rhythm of Goolwa living. Residents enjoy access to the established facilities, with more planned as part of the Lakeside Resort expansion, including the impressive Leisure Precinct. Spend your mornings sailing from your own marina berth, enjoying a game of lawn bowls, taking a relaxed walk or bike ride, or cooling off with a refreshing swim. The community also offers spaces to come together, from the Leisure Lounge for social gatherings, friendly games and shared moments, to bookable rooms ideal for family celebrations and community get-togethers. For those who love hands-on creativity, dedicated rooms and a fully equipped workshop provide space to pursue hobbies and projects. With secure on-land storage for boats, caravans, campervans and kayaks, Lakeside makes it easy to live well, explore freely and feel truly at home.
