The venue was excellently placed for walking distance to the wharf and main street restaurants. It was set back from the road with limited view of the water, but protected from road noise. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped for our needs. It was reasonably clean but it could have done with a quick once over to get rid of all the dead insects on surfaces. It was nice to find fresh milk and crumpets in the fridge for us. We would definitely stay there again.

Christin and John are very lovely and welcoming hosts!We enjoyed our stay at their Riverhouse Apartment very much. The apartment has everything you need.A little highlight is also that you can watch the historic steam train from the balcony. The wharf and city center are within walking distance and Hindmarsh Island is not far away, too.
