Great getaway

Lovely period home thoughtfully renovated and perfect for a family with 4 well appointed bedrooms. Lots of little extra touches made the accommodation extremely comfortable with a fabulous location. Some great walks in the area too, and close to the lovely Echuca Port. We felt right at home and did not want to leave. Highly recommend!!!!

Home away from Home

Our 3 night stay was great. We could not have asked for a better place. Such a gorgeous house and perfect location. Every little detail was thought of, from the torch at the key box, to the soap/shampoo etc in the bathrooms and the kitchen condiments and the house smelt amazing when we walked in. We will be back. Thank you! x

Everything was perfect for our stay. My elderly parents were with us & it was perfect for them, it was warm enough, no stairs, walk in showers, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen. It was everything we needed & more. Such a warm, comfortable vibe in the perfect location.
