Perfect riverfront location! The cottage is beautifully renovated throughout and immaculately presented. Equipped with everything you need for a long or short getaway, all we needed to bring was food and drinks. The private boat ramp was a bonus and made launching the boat easy. The communication with hosts, Graham and Elspeth, was clear and simple. We loved our stay and can't wait to visit again!

What a beautiful, tranquil and idyllic setting, perfect for distressing and relaxing. So quiet, you will see no one your entire stay (we didn’t anyway).The cottage holds so much history and the river at the doorstep is so peaceful first thing in the morning, with only the native birds giving their awakening calls.If you’re looking for peace and harmony, and reconnecting with each other, this is your place to be. You will find a spotlessly clean home for your stay with a comfortable bed and everything you need in the kitchen.Enjoy!

Quiet getaway

If you are looking for a perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the river this is the spot. It's so quiet that you can hear nothing but nature. The cottage is quaint and very comfortable. The breakfast supplied was very generous and the host was easy to contact.

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.
