This property was fantastic, originally selected due to availability and location, but upon arrival there was a set up fire place, spacious rooms and an amazing view. I look forward to staying again for a leisurely holiday. Beautiful place and location!
Nice property, but it lacked some basics. Would love to see a microwave and perhaps a toasty machine. Outdoor furniture could be a little better too. The place is nice but a little tired.
All good, thankyou. Took me back to my Mums house in a good way. Fire was great. If the back verhanda was secure it would have been better for the curious dog but thats just an observation and thankyou for allowing my pup.
Returned with my family this time.
Could not find the instruction book, but as I had been here before all OK. After one cloudy day, the off-the-grid power failed, but quick response from management.
Peaceful secure property overlooking River Murray. Plenty of firewood for combustion heater. Lots of space (you could dance in the kitchen). Great verandah to observe the birds. Disappointed with no microwave but soon adjusted to cooking with gas cooktop.
Greeted by the happy resident border collie, we were presented with a large spacious open plan living room including beautiful views of the river during the day and clear views of the stars at night. A laid back and peaceful location close to Cadell and the 24hr ferry, onward to beautiful Caudo vineyard. Lovely for a quiet couple's retreat or a family getaway. We listened to the CD and cassette collection with curiosity; the technology was a little like Nanna and Grandpa's house and we would in future bring our Bluetooth speakers. While the river looked close, the house sits on a cliff, so a short drive down a gravel road or a 15 minutes meander takes you to the river. We had a wonderful time.
Peaceful, relaxing place to unwind.
Only negative- I've never seen so many red back spiders!!
Other than that, we really enjoyed
Our stay & being able to bring our dog was fantastic. Thanks to the hosts.
We had a great stay here.
House is neat and had everything we needed.
Location was perfect for trips to Loch Luna, Morgan, Waikerie, etc. as well as a spot on the river close by to launch the kayak and fish.
Friendly help close by if needed (we lost power at one point) otherwise you are left alone to enjoy the peace.
House is high up so has nice view and we saw a few great sunsets, but with those views comes strong winds.
Highly recommended property....thank you.
An open plan comfortable house with a wonderful sweeping view of the Murray River surrounded by birdsong - our kind of place. Cheese and beverage at sunset on the front porch a must and we will definitely go back. Do read all the information about the solar battery limits as we got caught out on a heavily overcast day.
The house is in a perfect position with beautiful views from high above the river. Perfect for watching the sunset over the river and distant hills. The living areas of the house were spacious and well furnished. we loved it. One drawback is that bedrooms 2 and 3 are separated by a doorway with a curtain which could affect some groups. With a snorer in the group one of us decamped to the living room - not good for those wanting more privacy either. Would work for families with children.
The property is a wonderful retreat for a relaxing stay.
Take some books - you will enjoy the peace and quiet during the day and the stars at night are awesome.
Sitting on the verandah admiring the view of the river is absolutely therapeutic.
A great place for a few days break.
We had a great weekend away and loved the house. Was very relaxing and the views are beautiful. Gilbert the goat is adorable, we loved him. Will for sure be back!
Perfect location to sit back, relax and let the world go by. Beautiful river views and lots of bird watching. Excellent wood fire to warm us on the chilly nights.
Disappointed with lack of access to river + and nowhere to walk. Place generally needs a freshen up.
What an amazing little gem of a home overlooking the Murray River! The view is absolutely stunning and the house is just fabulous! We were so pleased we booked and will definitely return!!
Highlight of the trip. Magnificent views and property,
Beyond expectation

Family friendly and fun.
With 4 adults and 4 children this was a great location. We enjoyed relaxing with a glass of wine at night watching the sunset after a full day of fun on the river. While the kids enjoyed exploring the outdoors and getting back to
nature. The owners made contact the day before we arrived to answer any questions. Would highly recommend.

Magnificent and restful
We thoroughly enjoyed the eco house with stunning views. The sunsets were very picturesque with the peaceful Murray river in the foreground. Spacious house with all facilities. Thank you for a great week-end.
