About this property

Longreach Riverside Retreat Cottage

Dog Friendly (by arrangement - contact owner to discuss)

The cabin has absolute frontage to the Shoalhaven River on the South Coast of N.S.W

The dramatic sandstone escarpment is at the back door, the beautiful Shoalhaven river is at the front door.

From the sandstone courtyard of this renovated "Cream Shed" you will be able to take in the magnificent river scene with Cambewarra Mountain in the distance.
A short 15 minute drive west of Nowra, Longreach is a very comfortable drive to Jervis Bay, Berry and Kangaroo Valley.

Minimum 2 Night Booking

The cabin is a perfect getaway for couples. We have been operating for over ten years now and many couples return to the cabin because of the beauty and privacy the property offers. At 'Longreach' you can walk, fish and swim. You can relax and watch the cows and horses graze on the river flats or you can do all of that and take some time to explore the beautiful surrounds of the south coast. Kangaroo Valley, Berry and Jervis Bay are all short drives away. Reverse cycle air conditioning for your absolute comfort.

If you choose to you can really escape and socialise with nothing but kangaroos and wombats, 'Longreach' offers complete privacy.

Everything was perfect

Longreach Cottage

It's a marvellous place, in a beautiful setting. The place is clean and is ideal for a couple who want a few quiet days. Our dog also loves the place. The owners are very friendly and so helpful. I can't praise the place highly enough. Sufficient to say it is about my 9th stay there (and my dog Spuddy's 9th as well).

A lovely break!

My partner Ruth and I had a wonderful 3 day break at Longreach and could not have enjoyed it more. The property is in a great location alongside the Shoalhaven river and is private from the hosts residence yet Marie can be on hand in an instant if required. It's a very comfortable cottage with a lovely view over the farmland where you might see wombats feeding or lyre birds meandering around. Marie went above and beyond the call of duty when she arranged the postal return of Ruth's rain jacket which we had inadvertently left behind. I would like to thank the hosts for the use of their property and we certainly return sometime in the future.

A few days R and R

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth and a down to earth relaxed attitude by our host. Our pup was welcomed to the property which is real important to us. The accommodation was clean spacious and quiet with all the essentials supplied. We even got some delicious fresh eggs. The property was amazing with the animals and birds and we would recommend this farm stay to all looking for scenery bush walks and feeding the animals. Loved it 5 stars

Anniversary weekend

The perfect little spot for a weekend away, we came for our wedding anniversary and brought our dogs, we wish we had booked to stay longer. Maree and George were wonderful hosts making us feel right at home. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.

Hidden gem

This is the best pet-friendly property we’ve ever stayed at and there is so much to do in the area. Maree is lovely, and the cottage has literally everything you could ask for. We also really loved the unique gardens and property. Can’t wait to come back again :)

Peaceful oasis

This cottage is as good as all the other reviews say. A perfect spot to just get away and exhale. The cottage itself is clean and well appointed and also a great dog friendly stay, we would definitely go back. Extremely comfortable king bed but the lounge needs replacing due to the support being all but gone. I would also add a wood fired pizza oven in the BBQ area for a nice pizza night in.

Beautiful Place

It is a wonderful place to stay for a couple and or a person with a dog. The owners are delightful and so welcoming. The place is very well kept and in a beautiful setting. It is about my 7th stay with my dog Spuddy, and won't be my last.

Great Stay in Longreach

We really enjoyed our stay in Longreach. The cottage is even better than the pictures and the grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed waking up and having coffee on the porch with the kangaroos each morning. The location is secluded but still close to area attractions. Thank you Maree for a great stay!!

Idyllic spot in the country

Beautiful little cottage in a quiet location next to the river. Just far enough from Nowra to feel a proper country vibe but close enough that it didn’t feel completely isolated. Maree was wonderfully kind and helpful and it was great to see the animals on the farm wandering happily around. Really relaxing stay.

Beautiful location!

The Riverside Retreat is a beautifully appointed cottage in a stunning location! Everything you could wish for to have a relaxing time away. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens, the walk to the lookout, bbq’s under the stars by the fire, and lunch in the lovely bbq area by the river. Our dogs loved racing around in the paddocks too! Maree and George were absolutely delightful hosts who gave us our privacy but were also up for a chat. So very lovely to meet them! We highly recommend this little patch of paradise!

Beautiful, stylish and relaxing

If nature restores you, this is where you want to be. We never wanted to leave this property and just wanted to listen to nature's sounds. Lots of kangaroos and cattle. The hosts are pure gems, very accommodating. The cottage is laid out very stylish, unique and perfect for spending quality time - I brought my daughter and a super cool dog. It was perfect, will come back again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us.

A charming cottage in a beautiful riverside setting. Maree and George are warm and generous hosts, welcoming us with fresh honey from their bees and a fine bottle of wine. The cottage is tastefully and well fitted out and the setting is green and peaceful with great local walks. Highly recommended!
