Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Great place to relax and play at the creek. The kayaks and inflatable tube were terrific fun. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, shower was lovely. All round it is a lovely house to stay in, and would highly recommend it to families who need a reset from the digital world. Road in was good although would have been a bit more comfortable in a high clearance vehicle.

Our stay was absolute bliss. Pip was very clear before we arrived what we could expect with no wifi or reception. I thought we might struggled with this but we didn’t at all, and it was a nice experience not thinking of checking our phones.
The river was perfect for us, it was not cold or deep which made it perfect for our children. The house itself is kept very clean and tidy, and the refurbishments make it very comfortable. We had a wonderful arrival where Pip had made us yummy afghans, left some eggs and some fresh coffee for the plunger.
We got to collect the eggs from the hens, feed them and feed the friendly sheep. We walked up the hill to see a wonderful view where the house is. These were all fulfilling activities that we enjoyed together as a family. Time truely well spent. We also enjoyed playing the many outdoor and indoor games provided.
Hamish and Pip were both so welcoming and shared some interesting stories and knowledge.
We would recommend the river house stay for anyone looking to get away from the busyness of life.
