Amazing getaway

We stayed for 5 nights in January and we can't wait to go back. Rod was so helpful and arranged a baby high chair and baby gate. The kids had a great time swimming, fishing and boating. The firepit was also a hit. Fantastic spot close to Sydney. Would also be lovely in winter with the fire place.

Beautiful location on the river

This was a beautiful relaxed spot, easy process to find and check in. Lovely spacious kitchen and wonderful outdoor table and BBQ area. We were 2 families with kids so one stayed upstairs and the other down, it's a bit awkward that you have to go through one of the bedrooms to access the bathroom, and shower and toilet in the same room. The kids loved watching the boats. I highly recommend checking out Paradise Pizza down the road

Fantastic getaway

We booked this location as my young kids were begging me for a fishing trip. This property stood out with its great location by the river. Absolutely magic. Rod greeted us on arrival - even offered us use of his boat but sadly I don’t have a license. He dropped off a stack of firewood too. A great host. A great property.

A relaxing paradise

It was amazing to escape all the stress of everyday life and relax in this cute riverside cottage. Our kids had a ball playing soccer, cricket and using the jetski. It was so convenient having our own private boat ramp to use. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would love to come back oneday.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We had an amazing long weekend enjoying the river, the fire pit and the beautiful house. We had 2 families and the accommodation worked well for us. Before going we were a bit worried about whether the bedding configuration would work but it turned out fine. All the kids caught fish off the jetty and they are keen to go back.
