About this property

The Rivers - Kuratau Holiday Home

Tucked away just 4-minutes from the lakefront - welcome to The Rivers!

Exceptionally designed in a modern contemporary fashion, with a high-ceiling living area complimented with a seamless indoor/outdoor flow that opens out onto the deck area with expansive views of the local nature. Modern, spacious and comforting, this makes for the perfect Kuratau retreat spot for a family looking to explore the region.

With everything you need at your fingertips, from table tennis to relaxing spaces, you'll quickly lose track of time and be wholly encapsulated with the joy that this home brings.

Spend your days sitting out by the fireplace cozied up with a glass of wine in hand, embracing the peaceful atmosphere or head upstairs and walk along the bridge over the mezzanine to find yourself overlooking panoramic views of the stunning the river valley.

From day time adventures down by the lake, just a 3-minutes drive away or wine tasting the finest selection of wines on offer at the Omori Estate 2-minutes down the road, or stop by the Floating Rock Cafe just a 2-min walk away and explore their renown pizza menu. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway!

If you're ready to swap the work attire for days in peace, quiet, and sunshine, visit The Rivers!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Please note that while property is pet friendly, kindly keep your pets in the downstairs area only.

It was a wonderful property to enjoy catching up with friends and exploring the lovely area and great that it was fully fenced and we were able to bring our dogs with us. The deck area was a lovely space and the fire in the lounge made it very cosy in the evenings. We would love to come back another time.

Please note first downstairs bathroom door doesn’t open from the inside so people get locked in when it shuts

Thank you for letting us know about the bathroom door. We understand how inconvenient that would have been and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Our local manager has been advised so this can be checked and resolved. We are glad the rest of your stay went well and would be pleased to welcome you back another time.
