About this property

Characterful 2BR cottage on the Murray River, sleeps 7

This cosy classic cottage is set in the most idyllic location, right on the banks of the river. With its own slipway, enjoy swimming or kayaking followed by cricket on the lawn and an evening by the firepit. The cottage has 1 Queen and a set of bunks plus single trundle and a fold-out bed, sleeping 7. The open plan living/kitchen/dining and veranda are delightful. This wonderful property is conducive to a relaxed holiday making plenty of special family memories.

- river frontage, kayaks provided, peaceful natural setting yet close to Pinjarra and Mandurah
- open plan living area with character features, beams, fireplace, wooden floors
- Bed 1: Queen, Bed 2: bunks (double and single), trundle, fold-out bed, bathroom w/ shower
- free Wifi, reverse cycle air conditioning, Apple TV, books and games
- veranda w/ seating, dining, outdoor heater, outdoor shower, cubby house, firepit

This is what holidays should be made of: lazy days out on the river, playing with the kids on the lawn, relaxing on the veranda and an evening BBQ under the stars. The River Cottage offers it all and more.

This pretty home is rustic in style yet beautifully modernised and decorated. With a soaring timbered ceiling in the main living area, wooden floorboards and a gorgeous white timber kitchen, it exudes character. The kitchen is well-equipped, including a microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine, and can seat 3 on stools at the island bench. The country style dining table seats 6, and the large comfy leather sofa invites the family to watch a movie at night on the smart TV with Apple TV provided (pay for your own movies). There is also a DVD player. If the weather gets cool, enjoy the warmth of the wood fire. Reverse air-conditioning ensures comfort in the summer and there are also ceiling fans.

Step out from the kitchen onto the spacious, cool veranda with its two comfy armchairs and another dining suite for 10. The level lawn meets the river frontage with its own slipway into the water. With only one neighbour, it’s private and tranquil. Listen to the trill of local birdlife and watch for twilight wildlife. Kayaks are provided for your use, and there is a cute cubby house for the children to play in, or try your hand at fishing or catching crabs. Enjoy the firepit in the cooler evenings.

The master bedroom has a Queen Bed and access to the veranda. The second bedroom is spacious, with a bunk (single above, double below), a trundle and a pull-out bed is also available. Plenty of storage is on offer in the built-in robe. The two bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom with a stained glass window and gorgeous original features. It has a shower, toilet and vanity. There is also a washing machine provided,

While the indoors is absolutely delightful and well-equipped for maximum comfort, you’ll be spending most of your time outside by the river, crabbing, fishing or kayaking, or cooking on the BBQ on the veranda. It’s truly idyllic!

Pets considered by owner for a $100 pet fee.

**PLEASE NOTE: CAMPING ON THE BACK LAWN IS NOT ALLOWED**

The setting is superb. Dolphins and pelicans are your local visitors and at night time a friendly possum or two. North Yunderup is a sleepy nest and you’ll wonder at the peace and tranquillity. There are some local pubs and restaurants on the opposite side of the river and Pinjarra is a 10 minute drive where you’ll find a cafe, bakery, Redcliffe’s restaurant and Coles, as well as the golf course and Ranger Red’s Zoo and Conservation Park.

Mandurah is a 20 minute drive away with large shopping outlets and an array of cafes and restaurants. The beaches along this stretch of coast are stunning and well worth a visit. There are plenty of local nature walks as well as the historic Coopers Mill to explore. South Yunderup also offers an amazing kids adventure playground and supermarket.

But you honestly will not want to leave the property once you arrive, River Cottage is so idyllic. Don’t pass this one by!

Peaceful getaway
Great little spot. Right on the rivers edge. Nice and quiet. Heaps of bird life. Pelicans, black swans swimming up to our back yard. You can fish and crab right from the property. Canoe up the river. We hired a pontoon and spent a day cruising the river and canals. Everything we needed was provided at the house. Our dog absolutely loved exploring the garden and the neighbours were super friendly. Highly recommend 😁
