This is a fantastic location and a fabulous hone away from home for families. Beautiful river views, walks and water activities available. All the necessary white goods you need for a family. John is a friendly caring host. A super location to access great restaurants, places to explore and an easy drive into the city.

This house is one of the best houses I have ever stayed in. Conveniently located close to the local shops, it is also an easy drive away from the CBD. It has a multi-millions dollar view - everyone will love it. Very spacious and well equipped, this house is prefect for family trips or friends weekend getaway. Everything is clean. The host is a helpful, friendly and patient person who will go above and beyond to make your stay an enjoyable one.
