Great location. Walked around the port area and to the river everyday. Had relatives over for a bbq meal. Plenty of room to spread out, with 2 living areas indoors and great outdoor area. Dogs loved the yard and all the walks.
We loved it. The house was beautifully heated. A great big backyard for the dog's well secured. We were all very impressed by this property it was stunning, the grandchildren loved it. We had a wonderful time in Echuca everything was in walking distance from the property. 5 stars out of 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The house was as stated and photos accurate.
A large house and yard with lots of room for our family stay.
The heating was terrific for cooler nights.
BBQ and outdoor area lovely and spacious.
A very short walk to town and port. School across the which made for a very quiet weekend.
Our dog loved it and settled in straightaway.
A lower window lifted open slightly enabled a dog door, so an undisturbed sleep if your dog used to a dog door.
Overall a great stay. We wanted to stay longer. But we will be back.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for your review. Yes, the pool is amazing! We look forward to having you stay in any of our holiday homes in the future.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
The property was very clean, well decked out and in close proximity to the main shopping strip. It is a higher end presented property but we were not there much as we were out to a wedding and so forth but suited our needs perfectly.
The house is a good mix of old and new. The accommodation is more than adequate for a large group. Our comparatively small group were very comfortable. The house allows for a mix of inside and outside relaxing making the most of the weather in Echuca. The yard is enclosed and safe for our two dogs with morning walks along the river within easy reach. We would certainly consider staying here again.
The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was fantastic. A short stroll into town, sportsground and river for walking the dogs. Second shower at the back of the house could do with an adjustable shower rose to make setting water temperature easier and avoiding water going everywhere outside the shower cubicle. Backyard was great for the dogs except fairly large gap under side gate. Small dogs could possibly escape. Rear garage entry off laneway was excellent allowing for car and small boat access and storage.
Great place to stay. Excellent location. Every thing you could want.

Comfort and style in Echuca
This is a very comfortable and clean property which had everything we needed for our stay in Echuca. It is so close to the historic port area and within a short walking distance to many cafes and restaurants. Our family of four adults and two babies enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

Stunning property in a fabulous location fully kitted out with everything you could need.
5 Connelly is a stunning property situated in the heart of Port Echuca. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the Murray River, major attractions, cafes, restaurants and the town.
The house is spacious and comfortable to easily accommodate 10 people. It’s fully kitted out with everything you could need. There is a lovely garden and the entertainment room is bright catching the sun all day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back.

Lovely house close to everything
We really enjoyed our winter week here with our son and his friend. The house is very comfortable and we could easily walk to go for dinner and coffees during the day. Kye was also very helpful. We would definitely recommend it.
