Naturally beautiful property and location. Lovely for us and our dog to have plenty of swims. The guesthouse was very comfortable and had all the facilities and kitchen equipment we needed. Rod the host was friendly and helpful, pointed us in the right direction and then left us to it - perfect!

All was as described. We all loved the quiet and seclusion for a couple of days - we needed some space. Also lots of space so the dog loved it too. Fishing is tough though if u terrible at it (like me). I really liked it, but I do note its not high end fancy.

A lovely getaway from Sydney (in close proximity) that was so good we thought we were hours from civilisation. Had everything we needed for a last minute weekender and the scenery, relaxing surrounds and active fishing made the whole stay leaving us wanting another visit!

Amazing getaway

We stayed for 5 nights in January and we can't wait to go back. Rod was so helpful and arranged a baby high chair and baby gate. The kids had a great time swimming, fishing and boating. The firepit was also a hit. Fantastic spot close to Sydney. Would also be lovely in winter with the fire place.

Beautiful location on the river

This was a beautiful relaxed spot, easy process to find and check in. Lovely spacious kitchen and wonderful outdoor table and BBQ area. We were 2 families with kids so one stayed upstairs and the other down, it's a bit awkward that you have to go through one of the bedrooms to access the bathroom, and shower and toilet in the same room. The kids loved watching the boats. I highly recommend checking out Paradise Pizza down the road

Fantastic getaway

We booked this location as my young kids were begging me for a fishing trip. This property stood out with its great location by the river. Absolutely magic. Rod greeted us on arrival - even offered us use of his boat but sadly I don’t have a license. He dropped off a stack of firewood too. A great host. A great property.

A relaxing paradise

It was amazing to escape all the stress of everyday life and relax in this cute riverside cottage. Our kids had a ball playing soccer, cricket and using the jetski. It was so convenient having our own private boat ramp to use. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would love to come back oneday.

We love it here its hard to come home this place is a slice of paradise. We are thankful for the table upstairs and the pantery. The only thing i say is it needs bigger freezer so you dont have to leave to get food from shops and have ice cubs or a ice maker would be awesome thanks to rod he is a really good guy see you all next year
