Whistling Kite Cottage is super

Brilliant place to stay. Beautiful setting and views. On the edge of town and yet so secluded. Very well appointed, we wanted for nothing. Can't recommend highly enough.

Beautiful once again

Second time staying at the cottage, and we absolutely love it here. The cottage is very clean and the wood heater makes for a very cosy night in the winter when you can't sit outside and get lost in the magnificent view of the Murray. We will definitely be back for a third time. Thanks for sharing this lovely place of yours :)

Peaceful & Relaxing

We stayed for a week at the cottage and couldn't have asked for anything more relaxing, I could have stayed forever. The cottage was beautifully clean and very comfortable with everything you need to make the most of your break. The views are wonderful, we spent many hours on the deck just relaxing and enjoying the wildlife. We will most definitely be returning.
