Description

Gilgens cottage is fully self contained - a home away from home- sleeps up to 8 people and has magic views looking over the river. Watch the sunrise and set over the water and the full moon shining on the river making a spectacular sight.

You can rest in quiet comfort or if you prefer bring your friends and get active. Go skiing or fishing. There is a boat ramp at Hogwash Bend, a beautiful sandbar area 5 kms away. Have a round of golf on the magnificent Waikerie Golf Course a ten minute drive away. You and your pets can walk amongst the mallee along the clifftop and view the flora and fauna.

If you want to do the tourist drives the Riverland, Clare Valley and Barossa Valley are all a day trip from Gilgens. Waikerie and Morgan are just over 15 kms away.

We have a camp oven area and if you want we can cook this for you under the stars if you don\'t want to do it yourself.

Children are welcome by arrangement. It is a great spot for kids but there is a steep cliff drop to the water and children need to be strictly supervised.

On arrival you will receive a complimentary bottle of wine, continental breakfast provisions including a freshly baked loaf of bread, and a port to have after dinner.

Come and visit us and enjoy Gilgens cottage nestled amongst 6 acres of orange trees and overlooking the mighty Murray (no close neighbours). As we are between Lock 1 and 2 we always have plenty of water in the river.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Gill and Graham McInness

  • "We had a fabulous stay. Everything we could wish for was available. The fresh orange juice every morning was a treat. Only ten minutes to Waikerie too. The swimming spot at Cadell was one of the best we have seen on the River. We will be revisiting. Highly recommended!"

  • "Gilgens is an adorable property not far from Waikerie. It was spotlessly clean and all the linen provided was of excellent quality. The decore is tasteful and the 3 bedrooms provided plenty of room. There was nothing lacking from this very well stocked and thought-out house. The river views are great and the kids loved running mad around the front lawn area. Thank you Graham and Gill! You were very helpful and easy to deal with."

  • "We had a wonderful time at Gilgens. The house was literally spotless and immaculate. The bedrooms were beautiful and very comfortable. They had thought of every possible contingency and there were meat packs and fruit and Port left for us. The scenery out the back is breath taking and there is a huge bbq and table and chairs outside - we had a bbq breakfast and ate outside each day. Graham came and visited on the last day, just before we left. It was great to meet him and hear the story about the house. We were all very pleasantly surprised with the house and the service."
