Quiet getaway

If you are looking for a perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the river this is the spot. It's so quiet that you can hear nothing but nature. The cottage is quaint and very comfortable. The breakfast supplied was very generous and the host was easy to contact.

Stunning

What an amazing place to spend some time. The accomodation is beautiful and so much extra was provided, I know I can leave a bunch of things at home next time. The river in this area was very quiet, I don't know if that's normal but we saw maybe 5 fishing boats go past the entire weekend, no water skiers, or jet skis. This was the beginning of May so possibly not the season for it. Really very peaceful. Instructions were clear and everything was very easy to find and use. Truly a great experience. We will be back.

Amazing

Well where do I start. It was excellent in every way. Nice modern kitchen, sepeeat bedroom, large seperate bathroom, seperate lounge room. The host rang on check in day to say its ready and could come early. It was a very hot day, the host even had the aircon on before we arrived. There were some items for us like a bottle of wine, bread eggs and bacon.Do yourself a favour and stay here. Highly reccommend it.

Superb location in excellent cottage

This is truly a perfect getaway in an historic cottage, within a stone's throw to the river. It is a unique location, in a comfortable and renovated old cottage. Words that come to mind are beautiful, secluded, private, quiet. The hosts were excellent, with a real desire to make our stay a unique experience.

Wonderful break!

Just the short break we needed! In such a beautiful spot, nice and quite in amongst nature. Seen a kangaroo and heard and seen kookaburras up in the trees having a laugh. Very tranquil and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
