Peaceful, perfect location and great host
Property was excellent - exactly as advertised in the middle of the vineyard and perfect for a getaway with the family and dog. Bruce was fantastic, more than happy to help. Pizza oven cooked wonderful pizza's, and all the cooking appliances you could want including an excellent BBQ. Kids loved the hammocks. Location is perfect to base yourself in the Riverland and explore the towns and countryside around, as Monash is very central to so many areas. Very peaceful over New Years which is exactly what we were looking for.

Pet friendly and lovely host.
The property is nestled right in the middle of a vineyard. Enclosed safe front garden for your pets to roam safely. The host is a gentleman very friendly and welcoming. Confidently book this property knowing you will have an easy relaxing stay. Wish I had more time to enjoy the area unfortunately I was working.

The Picker’s Hut
Bruce was friendly and welcoming.. no hassles at all. Hut was basic but provided everything we needed for a short stay. Close to Renmark and we did some exploring of the area with some good recommendations from Bruce.

Relaxing retreat.
Lovely outdoor area with views of the vines which is securely fenced for dogs. The hammocks are a great touch. Even though the accomodation is basic, it is very comfortable and quiet. Bruce (the host) is very welcoming and provided us with a wine tasting of Top block wines. Great location.

Like Provence in the Riverland!
A very enjoyable and relaxing two-day stay. Particularly enjoyed eating breakfast and dinner outside under the shade of the large trees and surrounded on all sides by the grape vines (in summer). Nice enclosed grassy, shaded area for our dog, who seemed to enjoy just lying there ! Our host Bruce was very helpful and chatty. Will certainly stay there again when we next visit the Riverland!

Very relaxing
I was looking for an ideal place that can provide a contained outdoor space for the dog, so I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in the middle of a winery. There was WiFi and DVD for my daughter, a perfect little yard leading out from the house for the dog, and wine for sale in the kitchen (for me). We had a very pleasant and trouble free stay.

This is a great little house for a small group. we are a couple with a small dog, so pet friendly is a priority for us. There was everything there that we could need. My husband particularly loved the pizza oven. A really quiet, private place.

Comfortable and dog-friendly
It really couldn't have been better. Booking was easy, and the host, Bruce, was excellent to deal with. He was really understanding of our nervous dogs, and he made us feel very welcome, without being intrusive. The hut is comfortable, with good WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen, and everything else needed for an enjoyable stay. Setting is peaceful, and the fully fenced garden (with pizza oven and barbecue) completes a wonderful place from which to explore the Riverland.

A perfect base for our family (with furkid) in the Riverland. Close to shops and take-away options in Berri and to Lake Bonney where we spent Sunday at the Murray Man triathlon event. Easy check-in and clean but basic property. Thanks Bruce.

Very pleasant little cottage, great views. privacy assured, warm and cosy beds. sofa low in height. large table and chairs, but chairs squeak, I brought the outdoor chairs in, which I preferred to sit on. great facilities in cottage, was only missing Alfoil & Wrap, full kitchen facility, BBQ outdoors and Pizza Oven worked a treat. Bruce very helpful with starting the Pizza Oven whilst we where out enjoying the district. Highly recommend for private get away with the family pet.

Mid-week getaway…
Overall a pleasant experience. However, there are a few minor upgrades that would improve the experience: 1. Being the middle of winter the air conditioner struggled to keep the hut warm. 2. The shower head requires unblocking. 3. Bed linen was old and had some holes in it. 4. Crockery was chipped and requires replacement. 5. Hot water tap leaks in bathroom

Cute little hut in a quiet location
We enjoyed our stay at Pickers Hut! We took our little poodle, and he enjoyed being included. The yard is secure, and there is a lovely outdoor area to sit and enjoy the scenery with a bevvie, breakfast, dinner, cheese platter etc. There is even a bluetooth speaker for entertainment. Beds were comfortable. We even saw some emus whilst enjoying our al fresco breakfast. There is a bbq and outdoor pizza oven if you need to cook, or use the kitchen oven, microwave etc. Next door is a winery (20 steps) that is open only on Sunday. We went to the winery, and Bruce looked after us! He made us some herbal cocktails that were very nice, and we had ourselves a picnic bbq there and sipped on Top Block Wines.
