About Pelican Retreats

Our Journey

Pelican Retreats is not just a short-term rental company; it's a heartfelt creation born out of our deep love for the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia and the rich tapestry of experiences we've gathered during our travels across Australia and abroad. Through our journeys, we've discovered that it's the charming local accommodations worldwide that have the power to elevate a holiday experience, leaving an indelible mark on our memories.

Pelican Retreats has been crafted with a genuine passion for creating memorable spaces, both inside and out, inspired by our appreciation for the art of hospitality. We understand that the little things, the details, and the ambiance are what transform a stay into a cherished holiday memory. Our commitment stems from the joy we find in curating beautiful homes that allow guests to not only immerse themselves in the surroundings but also to rest, relax, and recharge comfortably.

Why Pelican Retreats

Passion for Beautiful Spaces

​​Creating inviting and beautiful spaces is not just our profession; it's our passion. We take pride in offering accommodations where guests can truly feel at home, surrounded by thoughtfully curated interiors and serene outdoor spaces.

Pet-Friendly Bliss

 At Pelican Retreats, we believe that your entire family, including your beloved pets, should be part of the holiday experience. Our homes are designed to be pet-friendly, ensuring a complete and joyous getaway for everyone.

A Name with Meaning

 Pelican Retreats pays homage to the majestic pelicans that grace the Fleurieu Peninsula. It's also a nod to our fondness for the classic 1973 film "Storm Boy," filmed in the picturesque locales of Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island.

We invite our guests to escape the demands of everyday life and experience the tranquility of staying in one of our comfortable holiday homes. Pelican Retreats is more than just accommodation; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local idyllic surrounds, letting the beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula unfold around you.
