About this property

Longreach Riverside Retreat Cottage



The cabin has absolute frontage to the Shoalhaven River on the South Coast of N.S.W

The dramatic sandstone escarpment is at the back door, the beautiful Shoalhaven river is at the front door.

From the sandstone courtyard of this renovated "Cream Shed" you will be able to take in the magnificent river scene with Cambewarra Mountain in the distance.
A short 15 minute drive west of Nowra, Longreach is a very comfortable drive to Jervis Bay, Berry and Kangaroo Valley.

Minimum 2 Night Booking

The cabin is a perfect getaway for couples. We have been operating for over ten years now and many couples return to the cabin because of the beauty and privacy the property offers. At 'Longreach' you can walk, fish and swim. You can relax and watch the cows and horses graze on the river flats or you can do all of that and take some time to explore the beautiful surrounds of the south coast. Kangaroo Valley, Berry and Jervis Bay are all short drives away. Reverse cycle air conditioning for your absolute comfort.

If you choose to you can really escape and socialise with nothing but kangaroos and wombats, 'Longreach' offers complete privacy.

Beautiful Place

It is a wonderful place to stay for a couple and or a person with a dog. The owners are delightful and so welcoming. The place is very well kept and in a beautiful setting. It is about my 7th stay with my dog Spuddy, and won't be my last.

Longreach Cottage

It's a marvellous place, in a beautiful setting. The place is clean and is ideal for a couple who want a few quiet days. Our dog also loves the place. The owners are very friendly and so helpful. I can't praise the place highly enough. Sufficient to say it is about my 9th stay there (and my dog Spuddy's 9th as well).

Great Stay in Longreach

We really enjoyed our stay in Longreach. The cottage is even better than the pictures and the grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed waking up and having coffee on the porch with the kangaroos each morning. The location is secluded but still close to area attractions. Thank you Maree for a great stay!!

What a wonderful romantic getaway. Perfect place to get lost in time, be inspired to paint and read. We loved exploring in the canoe, gardens and walking tracks and our fur babies just liked laying around. Highly recommended.
