Unique, private cottage overlooking one of the best river locations Barham NSW has to offer. Please note no pets This 3 bedroom cottage has all the amenities normally found in a family home - split system air conditioning and a wood heater add to the comfort. The cottage is part of our lifestyle property where we live on 30 acres and has direct access to the Murray River and red gum forests. It is about 10km from the township of Barham NSW. Birdlife abounds - kookaburras, finches, rosellas, babblers. The state forest is right next door ready for exploring on foot or by bike.

Guests will have access to the cottage and surrounds, including undercover parking. No tents, swags, campervans or caravans - the cottage is only suitable for 6 guests.

Thank you Mandy, we sincerely hope you visit us again.
Karin was an exceptional host and the property was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The serenity and lovely gardens were pleasant additions.
This is our second time staying here after the first time 5 years ago and my family had an even more fantastic time. The cottage is very clean and is the most equipped place we have ever stayed. It has everything u can think of and even more. Plenty of space and a well maintained lawn for the kids to run around and play games. Awesome fire pit right by the river with a great view of the river. We enjoyed the warmth of the fire while watching our rods in the river. We even caught a nice 42 cm Murray Cod out of season, which we had to throw back.
Once again thank you Bill, Karen and Rob.
Ps. Rob (pet dog) is good boy, very well behaved and kept the kids company.
The instructions to find the property was great, but would also like the actual address as google maps is helpful too! I loved that you could park in the carport and that the fire was going when we arrived. The home had everything you could possibly need when away from home. We had a lovely stay.
This property is everything we expected and more.
Quiet, peaceful and right on the Murray. The house is beautifully presented.
Fishing was fun and the bird life is amazing.
Close enough to Barham to sample the local wares and food.
Karin and Bill are excellent hosts.
Highly recommended.
Such a Fantastic Stay tucked up on the Murray River! With complete River frontage Great Fishing!
Our second stay we always have such a great time! Peaceful & secluded surrounded by the River, also close to Barham Town Centre! House very well decked out with everything for all seasons! Thank you Karin for having us will definitely be back!
Barham was already a favourite holiday spot, and this secluded gem made it even more special.
Karin was a delight to deal with and we look forward to returning very soon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Having the river right there on the property was such a treat. We spent alot of time at the firepit while we were fishing. It was a bit cold while we were there but my husband still managed to catch a small cod. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to hopefully catch more fish.
Thank you Karin and Bill, we had a very relaxing time at you place, couldn’t ask for anything more.... you provided everything. We are sure to come back
