The property was good but it is not right by the lakeThere are around 4 flights of stairs and no facilities there. From the listing i hoped that it was going to be right on the backyard as that's why i booked thisOther than that experience was good

You obviously didn’t look at the pictures & read the description before you booked. It shows the backyard & that the river is down the stairs. There are also facilities down there. Chairs, table, kayaks etc. My advice is maybe next time research the property properly before you book.
A great place to stay while we were down there for a car meet at The Bend, lots of secure parking, and a nice space out the back to wash cars too. Very pretty location by the water.
The home was beautiful, views were amazing. Games room was fantastic. Large outdoor area, large firepit. They catered to all ages. Owner easy to get in touch with and very helpful. Definitely will be going back.
Very impressive property that was all as described. Having a 43 degree day while we were there, all the fans and Air Cons worked perfectly. Everything is catered for particularly if you have a large family group. Great access to The Murray River as well.
Great place for a getaway! Beautiful house and great location. Very clean and modern bedrooms and furniture. Amazing back yard with heaps of space for the family. We had a great time and we would definitely be back!
We had a great time at a great location on the river. It had everything to make us feel comfortable, plenty of activities for the kids. A nice sandy beach for the boat and jet ski. We would highly recommend this place to stay to anyone looking for a get away 👍🏼
A quick getaway from Adelaide, calm and serene surroundings with lots of activities for both adults and kids. We loved every moment spent here with time spent on the Table Tennis rivalry to the Kayak expeditions till the fond memories made around the bonfire
