Long Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the cottage. It was tranquil, restful and had all the creature comforts of home. We took along our 2 dogs who had a ball swimming in the river and also walks in the nearby state park. Thanks to Andrew who was very pleasant and accommodating and we would have no hesitation returning or recommending the cottage to anyone.

Country living
Tranquil and peaceful. The cottage was cosy and clean with everything you need. Theres a running river that you can hear while in the cottage, green paddocks and cows. There is everything you need to keep a warm fire going but heaters are available as well. To top it off is a friendly dog that welcomes you like an old friend.

Cozy comfort in serene surrounds
Warm cozy cottage for a late May stay. Cold outside and lovely in. Comfy bed. Please note not fenced for dogs, so we had to keep our swimmers on lead outdoors which was fine. The dogs loved their “dog TV” watching animals on the farm through the windows. Short drive to good walks! Loved it.

River downs
My wife and I had a lovely week away at riverdowns, it was a lovely quite cabin. The cabin has river access and we enjoyed spending some time in the river. At night there is no light pollution and the stars were magnificent. The owners were amazing people, very polite and helpful, they provided us with half a dozen dress eggs at the start if our stay and at one point our car battery went flat and they came over and helped us jump start out car off of theirs. Overall my wife and I fully enjoyed our weeklong stay
