Portrush on the River

We invite you to Portrush - a beautiful riverside property, perfect for making those lasting family memories! This is a large, heritage listed property that has retained so much of its original beauty. Sleeping up to 13 guests, ideal for large family groups, multiple couples, golfing groups etc.

Equipped with everything you could possibly need, spend your days kayaking, bike riding or fishing. Enjoy your evenings with a BBQ on the front deck watching the sun going down over the river.

The large yard will be great for the kids with a trampoline, swing and basketball ring, or plenty of room to kick a footy/have a hit of cricket! There is a bike rack with four or five bikes of various sizes, all there ready for guest use! This area is enclosed, guests are welcome to bring cars in to unpack or pack up your cars but we do ask that you park outside the yard during your stay so that we can keep our lawn in good condition.

The house is a lovely double story home. On the ground floor you have two bedrooms including the master which sits at the front of property with outstanding views out to the river. The master also has a desk for those requiring some workspace (with a view!), plus an ensuite. The main lounge has a fireplace for cosy winter stays, plus an additional lounge with large TV, surround sound speakers, and a great collection of toys and games.

The kitchen is really well equipped, and the dining area looks out to the river. The main bathroom is also on the ground floor and has been recently renovated, complete with toilet, bath, vanity and large shower. There is also a separate powder room.

Follow the original timber stairs up to the second level and you have a further four bedrooms.

On the river side of the property is where you'll likely spend endless hours! Deck area with outdoor furniture, outdoor dining table and chairs, plus BBQ. Guests are welcome to use the other various cooking setups out here if you're familiar with how to use them.

The river is obviously a great source of fun and its right there on your doorstep! Guests are welcome to use the kayaks and paddle boards, life jackets are available. Please supervise children in this area.
