Slice of paradise

Spent 4 nights over new years here and it was such an amazing, relaxing and enjoyable time with my partner. We went kayaking along the river bank, swimming, had a bath during sunset over looking the water, bbqs and a fire outside. We didn’t even need to leave the property. We disconnected from the rest of the world and enjoyed time together just the two of us. Don’t think twice and book this one in, we can’t wait to come back. Beautiful place.

Charming and peaceful

The house can be split into bedrooms, so if you are a couple, and don’t need additional bedrooms, then this may work for you. Functional kitchen, outside modern laundry, beautifully appointed en suite bathroom in the main bedroom, and comfortable lounge with open fire if you need it. Very private back entertaining area with bbq and outside bath, although sadly, it was a little cold for us to enjoy. Seamless check in with good communication from owner. Lovely and quiet, peaceful, beautiful gardens you can wander through, or sit on the front verandah with a glass of local wine and watch the birds and bees. You will need transport, Barmera is very close by with the beautiful Lake Bonney, drive to Berri and Renmark and visit the local wineries. In all, just the place to chill out and relax in a beautiful region…
