Awesome Location - Just Perfect!
A perfect location being near bush but riverfront at the same time. Such a relaxing place to stay with great peace and quiet but plenty to do on the water or nearby. We had both houses with 10 people and it was plenty of room. Great hosts who made sure we had what we needed but gave us privacy as well. Couldn't recommend this property enough!

Paul and his guests were really excellent. Everything was left nicely and they were very respectful. Looking forward to seeing them again.
Location, Location & Location. These three words is the best way to describe Alan's property. The views are simply stunning and the location is truly secluded and a perfect way to relax amidst nature. The cottages super comfortable and I cant really find any faults in them. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick getaway from Sydney.
