My Husband Ralph 70th Birthday
Very impressed! Comfortable and clean. Ideal spot for the 5 grandson's (7yrs- 16yrs) 12of us all together. Didnt feel crowded. The boys enjoyed the fact they had their own downstairs loungeWhere they were able play their switch without annoying adults telling them to quieten down.Very safe for them to swim, fish and kayaking. Once they had their life jackets on they spent hours enjoying the river life, while we adults enjoyed sitting by the river watching them have fun. Very relaxing Lovely family holiday. Making great memories.The boys enjoyed the downstairs

Amazing!
We have stayed at many places on the river and this property is a new favourite. Lots of thoughtful touches, beautiful location and a lovely place. Great for a large group or two families. We will be back. The owners are also great communicators and were very understanding when we had to shuffle dates. Thank you!

We enjoyed the fire drum on 2 nights. There was plenty of carp to catch as well as a few callop. The kitchen & dining area is excellent. The downstairs screen door is broken. In general the 11 of us had an excellent time.

The property was unclean in some areas. We had to request more toilet paper and ran out of tissues. We did not realise that we could not drink the tap water and had to provide our own - or that the property did not provide drinking water. It was relaxing. The jetty was great.

River Raptures
Very spacious. There were 12 of us in all. Six bedrooms which worked out very well. The River in the morning mist was magical. Children getting up before the sun to observe the river and all its morning activities. A bit stressful breakfasting 12 people, packing up and cleaning up by 10.00 am on the the Sunday...... but apart from that.... all good

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
We are a river loving family who live in the city but stay at our own river property when ever we can. Our family consists of us, our 4 kids, their 4 amazing partners and now our 5 grandkids! We're all river loving South Aussies from way back & are keen to share this beautiful part of river with others.

Why they chose this property

We love this stretch of the river. Actually, we love the whole Murray but Pellaring Flat is peaceful and small, quite the safe community, with only 22 shacks on this stretch.

What makes this property unique

This property has everything you need and nothing you don't! It's pet friendly (outside only) and there's enough room tents for those who want a camping experience. It's a close knit community so it's guaranteed to be quiet, peaceful and safe. It's fenced to provide reassurance for young families and the gentle gradient and size of the front lawn provides ample safe opportunities for kids of all ages to run around and play.
