Stunning

What an amazing place to spend some time. The accomodation is beautiful and so much extra was provided, I know I can leave a bunch of things at home next time. The river in this area was very quiet, I don't know if that's normal but we saw maybe 5 fishing boats go past the entire weekend, no water skiers, or jet skis. This was the beginning of May so possibly not the season for it. Really very peaceful. Instructions were clear and everything was very easy to find and use. Truly a great experience. We will be back.

Amazing

Well where do I start. It was excellent in every way. Nice modern kitchen, sepeeat bedroom, large seperate bathroom, seperate lounge room. The host rang on check in day to say its ready and could come early. It was a very hot day, the host even had the aircon on before we arrived. There were some items for us like a bottle of wine, bread eggs and bacon.Do yourself a favour and stay here. Highly reccommend it.

Superb location in excellent cottage

This is truly a perfect getaway in an historic cottage, within a stone's throw to the river. It is a unique location, in a comfortable and renovated old cottage. Words that come to mind are beautiful, secluded, private, quiet. The hosts were excellent, with a real desire to make our stay a unique experience.

We loved that the host left some local produce to welcome us. The blending of old style with some essential mod-cons was well done. We liked that the place was warm and inviting when we arrived. The spot is so peaceful and near Banrock Station and other Riverland attractions. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Our stay in Wigley Retreat was too short! It provided the respite we so needed after a busy and challenging time and allowed us to completely turn off. Clean, cosy, beautifully provisioned and we loved sitting on the veranda watching the birds!
