Versatile Goolwa property offers plenty of options

Juliet Michell bought this versatile Goolwa property – The Australasian – in 2003 in a derelict state and has worked tirelessly to bring the building into the condition it is in now.

“There had been an old lady living in the property by herself for many years and she just used a couple of the rooms and closed up the rest of the hotel, so it needed lots of help and love,” Ms Michell says.

“It’s been lots of things – a hotel, divided into flats, a retail space, and I used it as a BnB and a restaurant, so I had accommodation upstairs and a dining space downstairs. I’ve changed it a lot – the front retains its character charm but the back is quite contemporary. I’ve got six bedrooms with six ensuites and then there are some public bathroom spaces as well, and the long dining space could be used as one or two spaces – whatever you wanted it to be. I used it for 10 years as a business, but for the past two years I’ve used as a private holiday home, so it could make a fantastic home.”

The property is set over four levels and features quality fixtures and finishes throughout.

“We spent six years planning and renovating it and we’re super happy with it – there’s a beautiful connection between the old and the new.”

It also features an immense undercover carpark, a reading room, a dedicated and commercially outfitted kitchen and adjacent bar, games room, original and extensive stand-up cellar, vine-covered terrace and a private Zen garden.
