A lovely position on the banks of the Murray, this large house was comfortable and roomy, and had just about everything you could want for a couple of relaxing days in Riverland. We enjoyed our stay very much and the fact that the house is/ was also a loved home added to the sense of family and friends relaxing together

What a gem of a property! Our stay here was everything we could wish for. A large roomy house catered for 2 parents, 2 grandparents parents and 2 active grandchildren. The views of the river were stunning, the wood heater and air conditioner kept us all warm and the pontoon on the river provided hours of fun either fishing or as a dance floor.The kitchen and barbecue were well used as was a canoe.Apart from all of the great facilities were the number of birds. With 3 generations of bird watchers holidaying together, it could not have been better.Thank you so much to Jody for facilitating a wonderful family holiday. We would love to come back.
