• Swim or laze by the Acheron River (700m river winding around the property)
• Yoga or meditation on the lawn, bridge or one of many peaceful spots along the river.
• Play table tennis or darts on the deck.
• Read on the verandah or inside on the 'cuddle couch' whilst watching the sun set on the Cathedral Range

    We had such a lovely trip and can't thank the hosts enough. They have thought of everything, had lots of games, open fireplace, comfy beds, 3 bathrooms. Gave us an amazing home base to explore the region. We love cooking that kitchen was well equipped with all the things you would need. Can't wait to visit again and highly recommend to all.

    Over all good. Minor problems: no aircon, no garbage bins in toilets and on veranda. Also the cutleries not perfect. Thanks anyway.

    Just as described. A perfect river cottage with all the modern amenities. Wrap around wooden decking and lots of sun drenched places to enjoy a coffee or wine. Tons of space for the kids. Beautiful strawberries and herb garden to gather supplies. The river is accessible and picturesque. Overall a very enjoyable relaxing stay.

    Was a great house for a weekend away with extended family. Lots of activities to keep the kids occupied and allow the parents to relax. Great size house to accommodate 13 people comfortably. Only negativity was ducted heating was abit noisy and wasn’t able to keep on overnight due to noise. Would highly recommend to others to stay
