We had such a good Xmas here. Away from the hussle and busy Echuca can be this time of the year. Great little town with a few gems. The Ridge was in a perfect location, peaceful and quiet with all the farm land around you. The house has great Amenities, I love cooking and the kitchen was a treat to use. Fabulous outdoor kitchen too right next to the Basketball court and archery. We also had full access to some kiyaks. So much fun. Sean the owner was so accommodating, and great communication. Would definitely love to stay there again.

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.

Grandkids loved the new basketball court and loved paddling on the lagoon. Our dogs love this home, they are allowed inside, the outside areas are all flat with visiting cows up to the fully fenced yard. Fabulous location across a small dirt road to the lagoon.

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.

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.
