The property was, as is listed, great spot, we caught fish on the jetty. My unhappiness was that the price had dropped by 50 a day when we stayed versus what we paid a month earlier, and to top it off we had to take our rubbish with us and pay at the local tip.

Amazing location ill give it that. Deck onto the river is fantastic. House is rustic but with plenty of rooms. A little bit too pricey given its not exactly luxury but has two bathrooms with good water pressure and most of the beds are comfy. Down side was Not enough wood for wood heater or outside fire and it was green wood, enough for maybe one night so it didnt burn hot enough to warm even the lounge room. Wifi very good considering the remote location

Sunrise Stay at Lune Mill River House

We had a wonderful few days staying at the Lune Mill River House. It was great to wake up, open the curtains, and see the sun rise on the river from the bed. The view of the river was amazing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this historic, character filled property set in such a beautiful location. It's not for those seeking ultimate cleanliness and new style interior but for us it had the atmosphere we enjoy. We look forward to returning in the future

We absolutely loved our 5 nights at Lune Mill River House over New Years. We were just a family of 4, but the house would also be suitable for 2 famillies. Yes, it is basic and a bit old, but that's what makes it so real. It was also a step back in time with old photos on the walls, and even multiple tape and cd players! We didn't use these but it was fun to explain to the kids how we used to listen to music. Sitting on the deck with a morning coffee looking across the river with birds to make the only sounds was just bliss. For those into fishing this might be a good spot too. Thank you for making this house available for holiday rental, it feels like it carries many good memories and is still making more.

This is a beautiful location, the house is very old and eclectic but well kept. Very suitable for our family. Fans are needed for hot days as the house can get stuffy.
