Quiet getaway

If you are looking for a perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the river this is the spot. It's so quiet that you can hear nothing but nature. The cottage is quaint and very comfortable. The breakfast supplied was very generous and the host was easy to contact.

Perfect riverfront location! The cottage is beautifully renovated throughout and immaculately presented. Equipped with everything you need for a long or short getaway, all we needed to bring was food and drinks. The private boat ramp was a bonus and made launching the boat easy. The communication with hosts, Graham and Elspeth, was clear and simple. We loved our stay and can't wait to visit again!
