Thank you so much for putting the aircon on before we arrived. 47 degrees was exceptionally hot and we had a very hot night. The house had everything we needed. The deck area needs a good clean and the side gate fixed so it's not banging in the wind, but we enjoyed our short stay. We couldn't see any mention on the stayz page of the additional 95 we had to pay for our dogs. Waikerie is lovely and we'd be likely to book again in cooler weather.

Enjoyed our stay at River Rest

Lovely cottage in the town very easy to walk to the shop, bakery and hotel. Rachel was very nice to deal with and came up with a few suggestions of restaurants etc for us to try. Cottage very clean and beds were extremely comfortable. Loved sitting outside on the patio enjoying the sunshine and a glass of wine. Would recommend a stay here.

Relaxing at River Rest

We enjoyed a really special weekend in Waikerie to connect with our extended family. River Rest was perfectly positioned to access all the locations where we wanted to gather, visit & enjoy. The home was comfortable, well appointed with all the essentials we needed. Beautifully restored & decorated. Plenty of room for 5 adults, great yard & outdoor eating/entertainment area. River Rest was well enjoyed all weekend, we loved it!

Excellent home away from home!

We had a wonderful stay for three nights. The house was very well thought out and had all the amenities one could need. Rachel and Sam were great hosts. The house was homely, large and very clean. The games were well appreciated. Also lots of blinds which was cooling. Backyard very secure and large. Overall, we would definitely recommend if you have a trip planned to Waikerie.

👍 River Rest

Good location, comfortable, light filled older house on large well fenced block (very secure for dogs and kids). Furniture is mostly modern with a few nice vintage pieces. Nice linen and towels. Thoughtful extras for children (games, toys). Highly recommend a visit to Waikerie Bakery and the very dog friendly balcony and dining area at the pub.

Clean open and spacious.

We really enjoyed our stay here and the host was very helpful and thoughtful. Arrived late with lights left on and Air con and Fans running which was appreciated. Its a great place if you have a boat as straight drive thru property so no reversing needed. Everything was clean and fresh. Will be back. Thanks 😊
