Perfect family staycation

The house is very spacious, clean and tidy. We loved the big kitchen, and the seperate areas of the house to chill out, and jetty to throw a couple of crab nets in. Especially loved the pool too. It had everything to make our stay comfortable. Host Sonya is very responsive and checked in to see if we had settled in ok once we arrived, which was lovely. We will be back. Loved it!

Annual Weekend Hetaway.

We five guys aged 70 plus have been meeting there for seven years and loving it. We put dropnets in at the private jetty and sit on the back veranda having afternoon drinks with the beautiful outlook on the Murray River. A grassy flat with shady trees leads to the river which has a multitude of river traffic and therefore providing a splendid and relaxing scene. As evening draws on we barbecue our dinner whilst watching and listening to the passing party boats on the Murray. An excellently equipped house and I strongly recommend a stay.

Great location and house suited our large family group perfectly. An older home as mentioned but large and comfortable. Kids loved the pool and handy having the jetty to tie up a boat. Would happily stay here again.

Great Family Christmas

Myself, my family, our friends and their family stayed here over Christmas and what an absolute joy it was! We were delighted to see that Sonya had already set up a Christmas tree for us. The property is huge and has everything you need, conveniently situated right on the Murray river where the kids would go look at the crabs every morning. We were even fortunate enough to wave at Santa going down the river on Christmas Eve. The property itself is great and has endless amount of things to entertain the kids, from the pool to the board games, foosball table, piano and we even got to roast marshmallows over the fire pit. Overall we were thoroughly impressed with the stay and would 100% book again! Thank you so much for accommodating us and our dogs Sonya! ❤️

Paradise Indeed

The house is in a fabulous location and the layout is perfect for a holiday home. We were very impressed with the size of the rooms and the presentation of the house. Being located so close to the river meant endless entertainment for the kids and the opportunity to take long walks every day. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Family Stay

Spacious well-equipped house in a great location on the river. Mozzies are friendly in the evening, so pack your repellent (some was also supplied at the property). Sonya the host was excellent with communication during our stay and also gave us a late check out. The cleanliness of the property was fantastic.

Paradise on Murray is correct Title

We had a great time at the Paradise on Murray. The house is old, but where it lacks in quality finishes, it certainly makes up for it in location, facilities, space and comfort. The lounge/living/dining/kitchen is huge and you never feel like you're on top of each other. The fire place made for a cosy place at night to watch the footy on the big smart TV. The outdoor areas are very nice and relaxing as you look towards the river. Having the private jetty was awesome for us to fish and crab from as well as moor our little boat to, to go exploring the river and canals. The host Sonya, was excellent! Very accommodating and responsive when we needed to contact her about a few things. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay there again if an opportunity arises. Thank you Sonya.

Large house with everything you need right on the river

This house is very big and spacious, perfect for a group of friends and families. 6 ladies had a girls weekends away and it was lovely that we could all have our own bedroom. Fireplace was lovely at night. The views of the river are wonderful. It is an older house but it has everything you need. Kitchen in really well equipped. Use of the pool was great. Shower pressure is not so great but you can still manage to wash. Kitchen fridge isn't huge but they have a second located in the laundry which can be used, as well. Sonya was easy to contact and responded quickly. All bedding and towels were clean and comfortable. one thing to consider is that there are heaps of mosquitos in the area due to proximity to the river.

Great Location

Big, very comfortable/clean but dated home with lots of open areas for a group. Great public open space in front of property down to river and private jetty. Outdoor areas/gardens including the pool area need a bit of TLC. We had a very good three days and the kids loved the area and walk to the cafe to get an icecream and it was special for them to catch fish and crabs from the jetty

About the host

Hosted by Sonya

Ken and I have been hosting guests at "Paradise on the Murray" for many years and many of our guests return year after year. As well as being property owners we also travel and rent holiday homes ourselves so we are able to relate with your expectations as a holiday maker. We strive to ensure that each and every one of our guests feels welcome and enjoys their stay.

Why they chose this property

This home is a very special place for our family as it is our escape from the hustle and bustle of day to day life. The river is beautiful and to walk through the property and discover the hidden "paradise" with the parkland reserve and the river is mood changing.

What makes this property unique

Yes, you can rent homes on the canals, but they can't be compared to being right on the actual river itself!! Especially since you can launch your boat and then tie it up at our dedicated private jetty at the rear of the house. Abundance of space to relax and Pool is an extra bonus! You got to get there to truly appreciate why it feels like "Paradise"
