Our second stay at River Cabana and it was amazing like the first time. A great place to relax and unwind, listening and seeing all the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see numerous birds, kangaroos, bunnies and even a fox! Fabia is a great and welcoming host.

Lovely guests who we had the pleasure to host again. We can only wish to host them another time soon. Thank you so much for returning and being such considerate and appreciative people.
Fabia made us feel very welcome and we loved the homemade bread. The pool was an added bonus and we loved the quirkyness of the accomodation. A short drive to town and not far to the beaches.
Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed every minute. The owners were friendly and looked after everything for us. We highly recommend staying here and we will be definitely returning. Couldn’t pick a more perfect location.
We absolutely loved staying here. Fabia greeted us on arrival and during our stay she presented us with home made bread and honey that my husband loved.
We loved the solitude and peace around us and will book to stay again loved every minute.
I would absolutely stay here again - a most welcoming host, clean and comfortable room, well equiped kitchen, and a lovely quiet, calm atmosphere looking out over the trees.
