About this property

The Ridge Gunbower..

Reopened! Brand new 4 bedroom house is finished. Have added some new photos. A few things need to be set up like paintings and tvs. Old house will be removed. House is situated on 8 acres of bush land with creek frontage.
If your preferred dates are not available make sure you look at our other holiday house "The Grove".
If you love peace, tranquillity and wildlife then this is the place for you. Abundant bird life and when walking along the banks of the Gunny Creek, you may spot a Wallaby or two.

We love people who bring their dogs and other pets on holidays with them. We do have a secure dog yard. Pets are allowed inside. But be sure to bring your own blankets/ bedding for them to lay on. Do not allow pets on furniture and bedding. And please vacuum dog hair from floor before leaving.

The Gunbower Creek is a great spot for fishing and in summer it is a popular place for swimming and water skiing.
Murray cod, yellow belly and carp are often caught in the creek. Boats can be launched at the nearby boat ramp, which is just a five minute walk from the cottage. It is currently difficult to fish from the bank of the creek due to the large amount of water lilies growing in the shallow water. But we have installed a fishing jetty nearby to make it easier for visitors without a boat, to fish.


NEW!!! Streaming services Stan and PrimeVideo available for free. Literally thousands of movies and TV shows to choose from.
Also have good range of DVDs if internet is out.

Free unlimited WiFi Internet available.

The Gunbower Creek is lowered from mid May till mid August. A shallow stream flows in the creek at this time of the year. Therefore the mud banks are exposed and it is difficult to get to the water to fish. Fishing is possible ten minutes from Gunbower in the Murray River. Please contact us if you require further information.
In Gunbower there is a Takeaway Shop,that also provides all basic requirements and The Gunny Pub which provides excellent meals .

Locality

Cottage is comes with 8 acres by the Gunbower Creek at Gunbower, Victoria, 40 kilometres west of Echuca.

Property

The Ridge is situated on our cattle farm property of approximately 200 acres. We also have another holiday house on the farm (The Grove is also listed on this website) which is about 300 metres further up Richards Road.

Have stayed at both The Grove & The Ridge previously but wow the new place is stunning. Love that most rooms open into the verandah & we noticed some great light fixtures in the living area. Would be happy to go back in any season.

Oh the serenity

As soon as we walked in the front door i felt relaxed and home. This hidden gem doesn’t miss anything. A very modern home, built superbly. Every modern comfort you need is there. Even electric car charger wow. Everything was super comfy from the beds with beautiful linen to the furnishings that where super comfy. Was so warm with the lovely heating. Electric blankets on the beds. It was everything we needed to reboot and refresh the mind. Mum loved sitting outside in the morning watching the sun break across the murray river and the fog lift up, such a pretty sight. Our furbaby was so happy, with the absolutely secured yard, she ran and ran, loved the cows coming up every evening on the otherside of the fence, so funny. I didn't need to stress about her safety either which was great. Communication with sean was on point, quick to reply and nothing he wouldn't accomodate. I highly recommend this stay. We stayed 5 nights. Thanks so much for an amazing getaway.
