Good location, lovely dock and roomy. Close to Mannum to pop into for meals and shops. Could do with more forks, loo paper, replacement bin liners, teatowels and more than one cloth to wipe kitchen etc. But a nice place to stay all the same

Family get away

great property had a fantastic time. My only feedback would be that there needed to be better kitchen equipment (quality of knives large pot) extra toilet paper, cling wrap and garbage bags. There was only the garbage bag in the bin and no others that we could find.Don’t get me wrong you have a lovely place there on the river and we would defiantly stay again.Thanks for having us.

Great venue for friends and family long weekend

This was the perfect venue for Anzac weekend for a group of family and friends. Peaceful part of the river, away from the incessant jetskis, but still close enough to Mannum to duck into town for top-up supplies when required.Our dog loved running around the safely fenced front and back yards and enjoyed the weekend as much as we did! We made good use of the decked balcony to sit and while away lazy hours over shared food, conversation, and board games. Two kayaks provided a reason to get out on the water nice and early, and earn our breakfast. The house was very clean and well stocked. Thank you for a relaxing break!

My Husband Ralph 70th Birthday

Very impressed! Comfortable and clean. Ideal spot for the 5 grandson's (7yrs- 16yrs) 12of us all together. Didnt feel crowded. The boys enjoyed the fact they had their own downstairs loungeWhere they were able play their switch without annoying adults telling them to quieten down.Very safe for them to swim, fish and kayaking. Once they had their life jackets on they spent hours enjoying the river life, while we adults enjoyed sitting by the river watching them have fun. Very relaxing Lovely family holiday. Making great memories.The boys enjoyed the downstairs

Amazing!

We have stayed at many places on the river and this property is a new favourite. Lots of thoughtful touches, beautiful location and a lovely place. Great for a large group or two families. We will be back. The owners are also great communicators and were very understanding when we had to shuffle dates. Thank you!

The property was unclean in some areas. We had to request more toilet paper and ran out of tissues. We did not realise that we could not drink the tap water and had to provide our own - or that the property did not provide drinking water. It was relaxing. The jetty was great.
