The property sits on approximately 9,948 m² of land. This provides ample space for the house and surrounding outdoor areas.
The house is roughly 1–2 km from the Hindmarsh Island Bridge, which was opened in March 2001 and provides road access to Goolwa on the mainland.
Within about 1 km you’ll find the Hindmarsh Island Marina and the nearby weather station (GOOLWA HINDMARSH ISLAND MARINA). Dolphin‑watching spots and the restored paddle steamer PS Oscar W are each about 1.4 km away, while Goolwa Boat Harbour and Goolwa North are each around 1.5 km distant.
The island supports a variety of native animals, including kangaroos in the grasslands, blue‑tongue lizards among the pine forests, and Australian white ibis along the coastline. Birdwatchers also enjoy sightings of Australian magpies, barn owls, and Cape Barren geese.
Hindmarsh Island enjoys a Mediterranean climate similar to Adelaide, with hot, dry summers and mild, cool winters. This climate is ideal for outdoor activities and gardening throughout most of the year.
From Adelaide, drive south‑east for about 100 km (approximately 1 hour 15 minutes) to Goolwa, then cross the Hindmarsh Island Bridge to the island and follow local roads to Captain Sturt Road.
Yes, the Hindmarsh Island Monument honoring explorers Charles Sturt and Collet Barker is located on the island, and the area around the bridge has historical significance related to the 2001 bridge controversy, both within a few kilometres of the house.
