About this property

The Grove Gunbower..

Due to the popularity of our other holiday rental property "The Ridge" we have renovated another house on our farm "The Grove".
The Grove is more spacious house with 3 bedrooms. With a larger living room and kitchen.
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 two 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. The jetty is a 5 minute walk up stream from The Grove
Kayaks are available for tenants' use at no extra charge. Life jackets are supplied.

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 sells all basic needs, McGillivrays' Butcher Shop and the Gunny Pub for excellent meals .

Locality

The Grove is situated on the Gunbower Creek at Gunbower, Victoria, 40 kilometres west of Echuca.
From Echuca travel towards Kerang along the Murray Valley Highway. Just before entering Gunbower, turn right into Fox Island Road, then right into Richards Road. House entrance is 1.8 km on right amongst the very large gum trees.

Property

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

The cottage was full of country charm, clean and everything we needed. Perfect base to get out and explore the area and so cosy and comfortable to stay in and relax.The kids had plenty of room to run around and games and activities provided were great. The carrots to feed Harold the pony was a highlight for the kids and adults.Sean was an exceptional host who made checking in super easy and ensured we were comfortable and had plenty of firewood.Highly recommend and can’t wait for our next visit.

Great place to stay on a budget. We appreciated the improvements since our last stay two years ago, with aircon in two bedrooms making the whole house very comfortable in the cold of winter.

A lovely old farmhouse in a very charming little part of rural Victoria but close to all the amenities of Echuca. Ideal for families, and apparently pet friendly too although I wasn't travelling with pets on this occasion.

Great comfy place, good for dogs with a secure rear yard. Water is a stones throw away if you like fishing. Love the foreplace and wood stocked for your stay. Only thing l would say for cooking at home may need a frypan with a lid and over mitts. Overall enjoyed our stay. And Sean was great with directions and always got back to you quickly.

Loved the location it was so peaceful, The kids enjoyed feeding harold the pony and seeing the cows .Unfortunately the house was lacking the cleanliness, my bed sheets had a stain on it black hair throughout , the couches were filled with hair and food scraps in the folds and most likely have dust mites , the kitchen benches havent been clean in years ! The sugar jar had ants throughout it . The worst part was finding the mop that had been used to clean the floors it was black and very unhygienic i had a toddler and the thought of her being on thoose floors . It was abit dissapointing if it was cleaner it would be great i did read reviews mentioning the cleanless of the property going back years but had of hoped it improved obviously not such a shame we ended up cutting our trip shoet and leaving early .

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful location and that the kids loved feeding Harold and seeing the cows. We’re very sorry to hear about the cleanliness concerns you mentioned. This is not the standard we aim for, and improvements will be made. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention
