About this property

The Ridge Gunbower..

Reopened! Brand new 4 bedroom house is finished. Have added some new photos. A few things need to be set up like paintings and tvs. Old house will be removed. House is situated on 8 acres of bush land with creek frontage.
If your preferred dates are not available make sure you look at our other holiday house "The Grove".
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 five 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.


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 provides all basic requirements and The Gunny Pub which provides excellent meals .

Locality

Cottage is comes with 8 acres by the Gunbower Creek at Gunbower, Victoria, 40 kilometres west of Echuca.

Property

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

House was so spacious and really well set up for families. The house was really clean and well set up. Beds were extra comfortable. My kids loved the basketball court. Sean was extremely accommodating, easy to communicate with and as there were no other bookings we were able to check in early and check out late. Would highly recommend the property!

Perfect piece of tranquil paradise. The house is bright, with a relaxed vibe that has everything you need. Comfy beds and an amazing swivel chair in the living room. The grounds were well maintained with secure fencing for children and dogs. The basketball court, archery and having the river across the road to fish means you can park the car and disconnect and relax. Sean was great to communicate with and checkin was easy. Loved it, will definately be back.

Holiday/work

Just 3 of us stayed which meant there was enough room to set up a portable in one on the bedrooms and work from “home” for the week. Quiet, comfortable, warm and the yard was big enough for 2 Jack Russell’s to remain occupied and safe.

Amazing! Property manager was amazing. Easy and fast to contact. Helpful and accommodating. Beautiful property! Words and pictures do not do it justice. Exceptionally clean and tidy. Has everything you need. Sooo much space. My mother and I stayed there with our two dogs. The perimeter was completely fenced off. The dogs could be let off and out of the house without a worry which abundance of space for them. Quiet and peaceful. I could go on and on. You get the picture! We will definitely be returning and recommending it to all our holidaying friends and family! Thank you Sean and Family!

Oh the serenity

As soon as we walked in the front door i felt relaxed and home. This hidden gem doesn’t miss anything. A very modern home, built superbly. Every modern comfort you need is there. Even electric car charger wow. Everything was super comfy from the beds with beautiful linen to the furnishings that where super comfy. Was so warm with the lovely heating. Electric blankets on the beds. It was everything we needed to reboot and refresh the mind. Mum loved sitting outside in the morning watching the sun break across the murray river and the fog lift up, such a pretty sight. Our furbaby was so happy, with the absolutely secured yard, she ran and ran, loved the cows coming up every evening on the otherside of the fence, so funny. I didn't need to stress about her safety either which was great. Communication with sean was on point, quick to reply and nothing he wouldn't accomodate. I highly recommend this stay. We stayed 5 nights. Thanks so much for an amazing getaway.

Relaxing stay

We had a nice relaxing stay in a newly built house. Very spacious, very clean, and river just over the road if you like fishing. Our doggies had a great time with the cows behind the fence, left them worn out! Only down side were all the flies and bugs outside. We went in April so maybe a different time of year would be better.

Easter stay

The new house is a real touch of luxury.The aspect of the house is positioned so you have an amazing view of the creek from the swivel couch in the loungeroom.I miss the old house as we have been coming to gunny every year for about 14 years.However it's really nice to enjoy our experience in a new very comfortable home.It is honestly the best way to de-stress and reset the batteries.Thanks sean

A rustic retreat

The Ridge was something a little bit different for me, but it gave me everything that I needed - a comfy bed, a comfy couch, hot water and all of the other neccessities for basic food preparation and getting away from it all. The location is ideal if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The host was also excellent to deal with. I recommend this accommodation, so long as you're not looking for anything too fancy. I will certainly go back there at some stage.

Wasnt what we were exspecting

The guy who owned it was very nice, the house was old and very run down, the sheets had yuk stains on them the towels were soo old , the water stunk and was yellow. Dogs keps getting out of the yard, the water near the house couldnt fish in as thats the only reason we chose this place :( the pub close by was amazing food and staff. Few pages had been ripped out of the guest review book, couches were comfortable though
