This property was so incredibly relaxing and great being off grid to get kids off devices. Definitely plan to book again for a longer stay to unwind more!
We loved Riverdale. Great little escape and the kids made their own fun collecting firewood and going for walks around the property. Close to everything you need to access but far enough away to be completely alone!
Would recommend.
We had a very peaceful and relaxing break thanks to a comfortable house and a stunning property. The views were amazing, mountains, ancient-looking gumtrees, rivers and beautiful gardens. Thank you.
Our stay was the perfect peaceful relaxing getaway. Long walks to the river and around the garden. Snug and cosy night's by the fire after spending time star gazing. The house is clean and well set up maximising the views of the garden. Beds were super comfy!
Thankyou for having us. We will be back!

Peaceful place
We really enjoyed our stay at riverdale. The house is very clean and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable , we all had good sleep there. Martina is a very lovely lady, she provided all the information we need, and she allowed us to pick fruit and vegetables in the garden. Thanks a lot !

Wonderful peaceful escape
Beautiful gardens, lots of seating, river to splash in and gorgeous clean house. All very relaxing. lovely host booked in with minimum of fuss. Make sure you understand that the house is off-grid, with everything that comes with being off-grid. We had the most lovely girls weekend away. Would very happily stay here again.

Beautiful Property
5 of us stayed at Riverdale in July for our annual girls weekend. The property was just beautiful and the house was very clean. The fire place in the living room made for a very relaxing time. The house is very eco friendly and electricity is generated from Solar. The only downside to that is there are quite a few restrictions on what appliances can be used and how long heating can be used in the bedrooms. Normally this wouldn't be an issue for me but I did find that over winter it was very difficult to warm up the sleeping areas.
