Nestled into the banks of the Swan River is an off the grid luxury lodge powered by the sun and rain. Large sliding doors and windows spill in light and the sounds of the riverbank, drawing you into the panoramic views. A rare place, located at the heart of Riversdale Farm, teaming in bird life and surrounded by a number of award-winning wineries and world class beaches. Swim, paddle, sauna (book at our website) or float on the river, take a skinny dip, no neighbours, just open skies and you.
