Close to river

We stayed here for two nights. It’s not fancy but it has everything you need and is really close to the river.

Review

Great spot, quiet, Relaxing , however the venue couldve been a little cleaner, the matress on the main bed had a major dip in the middle and the outside toilet rubber needs replacing as water disperses when flushed onto the floor, both screen doors need new screen,

Holiday Feels with a Community Spirit

Small and quaint just as advertised. It worked for the 3 of us. What it lacks in size, it makes up for with amenities. The inside of the house was very clean. Situated in a lovely community. Kylie was excellent with communication. Easy access to the water. Only a short distance to the shops at Murray Bridge. We really enjoyed our stay here and so did our son.
