You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Grove Gunbower..

Due to the popularity of our other holiday rental property "The Ridge" we have renovated another house on our farm "The Grove".
The Grove is more spacious house with 3 bedrooms. With a larger living room and kitchen.
If you love peace, tranquillity and wildlife then this is the place for you. Abundant bird life and when walking along the banks of the Gunny Creek, you may spot a Wallaby or two..

We love people who bring their dogs and other pets on holidays with them. We do have a secure dog yard. Pets are allowed inside. But be sure to bring your own blankets/ bedding for them to lay on. Do not allow pets on furniture and bedding. And please vacuum dog hair from floor before leaving.

The Gunbower Creek is a great spot for fishing and in summer it is a popular place for swimming and water skiing.
Murray cod, yellow belly and carp are often caught in the creek. Boats can be launched at the nearby boat ramp, which is just a two minute walk from the cottage. It is currently difficult to fish from the bank of the creek due to the large amount of water lilies growing in the shallow water. But we have installed a fishing jetty nearby to make it easier for visitors without a boat, to fish. The jetty is a 5 minute walk up stream from The Grove
Kayaks are available for tenants' use at no extra charge. Life jackets are supplied.

NEW!!! Streaming services Stan and PrimeVideo available for free. Literally thousands of movies and TV shows to choose from.
Also have good range of DVDs if internet is out.

Free unlimited WiFi internet available.

The Gunbower Creek is lowered from mid May till mid August. A shallow stream flows in the creek at this time of the year. Therefore the mud banks are exposed and it is difficult to get to the water to fish. Fishing is possible ten minutes from Gunbower in the Murray River. Please contact us if you require further information.
In Gunbower there is a Takeaway Shop that also sells all basic needs, McGillivrays' Butcher Shop and the Gunny Pub for excellent meals .

Locality

The Grove is situated on the Gunbower Creek at Gunbower, Victoria, 40 kilometres west of Echuca.
From Echuca travel towards Kerang along the Murray Valley Highway. Just before entering Gunbower, turn right into Fox Island Road, then right into Richards Road. House entrance is 1.8 km on right amongst the very large gum trees.

Property

The Grove is situated on our cattle farm property of approximately 200 acres. We also have another holiday house on the farm (The Ridge is also listed on this website) which is about 300 metres further down Richards Road.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a private yard.

Swan is a lovely host to deal with. Made sure we had everything we needed and the directions to the property were very helpful.The house was so beautiful, homely and very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and so were the pillows. It felt very luxury. The loungeroom was great, lots of couches and seats to suit everyone, TV, wood heater, games to play, information about the area but also loves the information on the history of the farm.The bathroom is beautifully renovated and the shower pressure was fantastic. Kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook a decent meal.Overall the hone was exceptionally clean and one of the best places we have stayed.Absolutely love the outdoor area for the dogs, every well enclosed and safe. The cows, Pony and Goats made the trip even more special. We'll definitely be back again soon.

Great comfy place, good for dogs with a secure rear yard. Water is a stones throw away if you like fishing. Love the foreplace and wood stocked for your stay. Only thing l would say for cooking at home may need a frypan with a lid and over mitts. Overall enjoyed our stay. And Sean was great with directions and always got back to you quickly.

Cute spot for a getaway

Such a cute, little house on a gorgeous property! We loved being welcomed by the pony and feeding him carrots. Sean had amazing communication and even had the fireplace going before we arrived to warm the place up. I loved that the exterior doors' handles were up higher so I didn't have to worry about my toddler letting herself out. We brought our 2 dogs with us and it was a super pet-friendly location with a closed in yard. It's a lovely spot for a rest and reset. Our walk along Gunbower Creek was a highlight to our stay here.

We had a great time staying at The Grove. Sean is a great host, and the house is lovely. We really enjoyed having a fire going in the fireplace and feeding carrots to Harold the pony in the paddock next door

Great place to stay on a budget. We appreciated the improvements since our last stay two years ago, with aircon in two bedrooms making the whole house very comfortable in the cold of winter.

A lovely old farmhouse in a very charming little part of rural Victoria but close to all the amenities of Echuca. Ideal for families, and apparently pet friendly too although I wasn't travelling with pets on this occasion.

Not recommend

Location was excellent, inside was very dusty, laundry was disgraceful, electrical work not good, tidy up the outside area and make it more presentable, guests shouldn’t have to clean when they arrive there. Very disappointing as it was not like the pictures as advertised.
