Nice house in Wellington Marina for sharing a weekend with friends and family, easy to launch your boat and tie up at the house mooring for daily adventures. Marina has a large wetland area, so also good for paddle boards and kayaks with kids

House and location
This is our second stay at the Casa, which is such a lovely house with lots of well thought through touches and is clearly well cared for by the owners. The new Spa was great to watch the stars from and have the boat moored out front, just a 5 minute motor across the lagoon to the Murray which is back at its best. Top spot!

The stay was overall fantastic love the spa. If I can only offer some improvements it would be parking undercover. It’s only a minor improvement. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic and had a great time.

Breathtaking views
My husband, myself and our adult children stayed for 3 nights and we could have seriously stayed longer. The accommodation was spotless and had beautiful decor and a loving kitchen overlooking the river. The x2 bathrooms are huge and the outdoor entertaining area with Spa is gorgeous. Thank you for our stay and I’m definitely booking again at the end of November for my Birthday. Thanking you, The Rowle family

Ideal place to relax & enjoy some quiet time!
Amazing house, couldn’t hear anything outside of the house itself. Beautiful home, pictures didn’t do the inside or outside justice. Much bigger than the photos & such a beautiful spot! Only downside was that the spa upon turning on, was very overwhelmingly strong smelling - assuming it’s the chlorine but we were unable to use due to it being so strong to breathe in. (We may have been doing something wrong though, I’m unsure) Very impressed & will DEFINATELY be back!

Amazing place for all year round!
We had an amazing time. The weather was rainy and sad but on the couch in front of the lovely gas fireplace was the weather through the massive windows was beautiful. Al through a veranda over the decking would be good we have no complaints. Would love yo come back in warmer weather enjoy the outdoor features! Thanks for having us 😀

Peaceful Retreat
This was our second time staying at Casa Carrera, and again we had a wonderful time! A fully stocked kitchen with every item you'd need, the whole house was very clean, neat and tidy. Casa Carrera has everything you need to feel at home, and even has games for the kids! I think the only thing needed is proper fixed solid shade outside as the deck receives all day sun. Thank you for having us once again!

Amazing view and beautiful home!
Loved our stay here! The home was very modern, extremely well kept, very clean, organised and had everything you would need for your say. The view and location right on the river was gorgeous to wake up to in the mornings. Owner was absolutely wonderful to deal with clear and easy to read instructions provided at the home. If your looking for a lovely and peaceful place to stay.. would highly recommend this home.

A great place to get away and unwind
This beautiful house situated on an inlet of the Murray River is outstanding! The view is beautiful both during the day and at night. The house was decently stocked with all the amenities you could need. Only a few nit picks: The provided towels were quite small, I would recommend bringing your own The coffee machine was quite finicky and hard to use During the day the spa was unusable as there was no shade from the sun It is impossible to close the front door without it also being locked so friends cannot come and go without knowing the door code

Excellent house & location
We had the pleasure of staying at casa Carrara for 2 nights. The house was beautifully designed, modern, exceptionally clean and the host was nice and informative. Great location being on the marina and only a 30 minute walk to the pub! Our furrbaby had a great time too, we’ll definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Iris Arnold

Host profile image
I am 30 years old and work as an interior designer. This is the first house my husband Cesar and I build together and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do! We live in Adelaide and absolutely cherish the tranquility of the river combined with the opportunity to spend some exciting hours at the Motorsport Park. We also like driving to Langhorne Creek for a nice lunch and wine tasting and renting a boat to wakeboard.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to the Bend Motorsport Park and the location right on the river.

What makes this property unique

The outdoor spa! Perfect to relax and enjoy the scenery or look at the stars at night!
