Fantastic holiday home. Comfortable and very clean. Had a great homely feel that made us feel relaxed. Loved the front deck and the backyard fire pit. Comfortable bed, great heating and very well equipped kitchen. The host has thought of everything. One night was way to short. We are definitely going back for longer next time.

Thanks Helen, appreciate your kind words, glad you had a great time
Great little home with a great view. Excellent communication with the host. Everything we needed for a great stay. Beautiful area Morgan. Loved that they even had board and card games to play.
Spacious and very well appointed holiday home with all expected amenities and the 2 most important priorities - good bedding and shower. Variety of visiting wildlife including birds, possums and kangaroos.An excellent short stay for R and R.
It was lovely to experience the friendly local birds, be able to experience a camp fire, play billiards and all in an easy walk to the town. Getting down to the river was a bit tricky from this home but it was a quiet and peaceful location to fish.
It was a comfortable and relaxing stay.
Great price, and so many extra inclusions. Felt so homely.
We arrived late, and left early, but it would be perfect for a large family to stay. We had a lovely surprise with a kookaburra on the porch in the morning
We had a relaxing stay, with everything we needed and plenty of great spots to sit and relax. I liked being up on the cliff, with an amazing panoramic view of the river and floodplains, across the mallee forest. thanks!

About the host
Hosted by LEAH THOMAS
I currently live remote in an Aboriginal Community and you will see this influence reflected in my property name Tjunkaya, pronounced with a silent "T" and with art work that is displayed in my home. I have lived in Morgan for approx 2 years out of the 10 that I have owned the property, even though I work away, I still have friends and connections within the town, so if anything goes wrong there is always a helping hand just down the street. I grew up in Adelaide, went to Madison Park Primary School and Salisbury East High School. I love sharing my home with guests, its just got too good a view and atmosphere not to share it with people. All my friends and family tell me they love coming to stay because it is so relaxing and serene and you can make your holiday what you want, a fun filled sports holiday or a relaxing and rejuvenating one. Great for budding authors, contractors and workers visiting Morgan for work. Even though I am remote, i am still available 24/7 via mobile and will organise what I can to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable, just let me know. I am in the middle of painting and redecorating and setting up the home properly for your utmost enjoyment, so i appreciate your patience and feedback, i have kept prices low to reflect this.
