About the host
Hosted by Paul
We are very family orientated people and enjoy spending time with our family now including 3 grandchildren. Oh and a couple fur-babies.
We love simple relaxing holidays and have tried to recreate a similar experience for our own guests here in Barmera.

Why they chose this property
The Pelican Retreat is right next to the beautiful Lake Bonney with unrestricted views.
Quite often the simple things in life money just can't buy, and when you sit back on the deck with a glass of wine in hand, a cheese platter and experience nature's magnificence as the sun sets over the lake you'll feel the same too.
