Beach Huts Middleton

Fleurieu Peninsula


What are these? Modest little Victorian bathing pavilions? Something like that – except you can sleep in them, not just change into your swimming costume. A fastidiously maintained complex of dinky, stripy-painted weatherboard huts on the main road between Middleton and Goolwa – not a great location, but just a short drive to the action.
