Modern Australian restaurant on the Goolwa Wharf with uninterrupted views over the Murray and the PS Oscar W paddle steamer.
Dining on the Goolwa Wharf
Hector's (often called Hector's on the Wharf) is a long-running restaurant right on the Goolwa Wharf, looking out over the Murray River and the historic PS Oscar W paddle steamer moored out front. The menu is modern Australian with a strong seafood slant - local Coorong mullet, Goolwa cockles and Kangaroo Island oysters feature regularly.
Lunch, dinner and river views
The dining room runs over two levels with big windows, an alfresco deck and a relaxed riverfront feel. It is a popular stop for travellers heading to or from the Hindmarsh Island barrage and the Murray Mouth. Bookings are recommended on weekends and through the Alexandrina summer season.
