The perfect hideaway

Absolutely love staying here and know it will be a new favourite to return to! The hosts are lovely and the home secluded amongst a gorgeous garden. Very peaceful, comfy beds and perfect location to access nearby brewery, the river and a short drive into the town. Will be returning soon!

Peace and quiet

Great for a totally relaxing break. Lovely surroundings, house was comfortable, plenty of outdoor spaces to sit, read, think, write, paint - whatever your pleasure! Friendly hosts. No phone or wifi for us, but we understand there is a telstra tower nearby.

Peaceful relaxing stay in a top location!

Great value for money stay. The property was very clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious and provided everything we needed for our 2 night stay. It’s the first time staying at an orchard. The gardens were relaxing and inviting with an abundance of interesting birds. Excellent dark skies for those interested in seeing the stars. The host, while giving us plenty of privacy was friendly, interesting to chat to, and very accommodating. We definitely would stay at the property again in the future when we are next in the region.

Beautiful river retreat

Beautiful scenery surrounding the property with the orchid in flower and buzzing with bees. The bird life was flourishing and the bottlebrush outside the back garden was exquisite and full of birds day and night. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the beds were great. The house had a good peaceful vibe and very suitable for family and friends. The oranges were excellent for juicing and generous to allow us to access. Highly recommend staying here.

Great Riverland Break

Great location, wonderfully peaceful, remote from the 'madding crowd' but still sufficiently adjacent to everything you might need. House well equipped - even egg cups! Hosts very helpful.

Relaxing location

This property has the quiet getaway from the hustle of modern life, with the spectacular Murray river wilderness at your finger tips. The working team that stayed were as refreshed while still working, as a month leave would have done.
