Bowhill Weekender
Awesome house with great interior design. Location is excellent. For older/reduced mobility users, could do with ramp access. We had a great stay there.

Bowhill Stay!
Was a lovely stay, with a lovely property and a lovely renovated house. We didn’t like the location of the microwave though (up a bit too high.)

Gorgeous Getaway
The weekender is a fantastic place for a getaway. Being a 2 minute walk from the river and a 2 minute walk to the general store, it's in a prime location. The house was lovely and clean and lived up to everything in the listing. The check in and out processes were nice and simple too which was good! All in all, it's the perfect spot for a weekend away!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Host profile image
I’m a mum, a wife, and I work by day as a Corporate Trainer/Facilitator. I enjoy spending time at our holiday home - The Weekender Bowhill. As a host, I'm committed to providing a warm and inviting space where you can feel at home during your stay. I also believe that hosting is not just about offering a comfortable place, but also about creating a memorable experience with all those little touches.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I purchased this property in 2021 and undertook a 4 month, full scale update. The Weekender Bowhill is now modern and comfortable and is perfectly suited in the heart of Bowhill. Directly across the road from the boat ramp, the playground, the General Store and the tennis courts. Even thought it's not 'riverfront' you still have river views with the added security and peace of mind being a step back from the riverfront.

What makes this property unique

It's all about location, convenience, and space!

Picture this: You're sipping your morning coffee on the veranda, watching the sun rise over the water. Fancy a quick fishing trip? The boat ramp is right across the road! Got little ones? They'll love the playground just steps away from your front door. And when you need to stock up on supplies or grab a quick bite, the popular Bowhill General Store is merely a short stroll away.

But here's the real kicker - while you're close to all the action, you'll still enjoy your own slice of paradise. Our property sits on a generous block, giving you ample space to relax, play, or simply soak in the tranquil surroundings. It's your own private oasis, with the vibrant river community at your fingertips.
