The pictures do no justice, this place is a jaw dropping beauty! Val was so accommodating and available for any questions, although we had few because the welcome book has all the thorough instructions to make your stay above and beyond amazing. Already thinking of our next stay. Thanks to Val for our much needed river spa retreat! Will definitely be back.

Host profile image
I've been in the hotel and hospitality industry for over 20 years and I enjoy creating spaces for people to experience and enjoy. I've also worked in the spa industry all of that time and relaxation and ambience are the most important part of those experiences. I've enjoyed crossing over to share pieces of all those elements in your big river retreat experience.
