Heaven

We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful, serene location to celebrate our 50th Birthdays. The river, the cliffs, the fire pit, the sunsets, the birds....especially the resident kookaburra greeting us every morning and every evening. An unforgettable 6 days for special milestone. Thanks Greg.

Perfect rugged relaxation

Such an easy holiday experience from start to finish. Absolutely stunning location so close to Adelaide. Sitting directly on the river with a fire and water toys for hire was pure heaven. Thank you Greg. Very basic indoors but this only added to the charm, experience and opportunities to connect. Highly recommend.

The Shack - A little slice of heaven

The Shack is basic accomodation, but the out look, and serenity out ways that. It was cosy and the fire pit was perfect. Great there is a TV (for the footy). The water can be tricky at times but once the shower is running, it's excellent. A little home away from home. Thanks for a beautiful stay....

Piece of Paradise!

Had a lovely few days in this fully self contained shack in a fabulous location. Greg put up a marquee prior to arrival with table & chair setting for extra shade. Candles on the table were a lovely touch. Will definitely return.

Tranquility

Beautiful spot on the river to unwind and relax. Easy check in with great communication from owner. This shack had everything we needed, plenty of bed space, shower and bath, coffee machine a bonus. Amazing views, awesome fire pit, walking trails across the road, hammock and bench seat under the shade of a tree and lots of lovely green grass. Perfect little get away for a peaceful and relaxing weekend 😊 highly recommend this place.

Caurnamount

Can only reiterate previous guest comments. Great location, beautiful setting on the river. Lovely lawn down to the riverbank, nice deck, excellent boating facilities. However I'd say claiming you have "2 bedrooms" may lead some to argue otherwise.

Had a great time, amazing view. Relaxing watching the sunrise and set. Hammok is so nice under the weeping willow and gum tree, watching the birds and boats.
