Beautiful location on the river
This was a beautiful relaxed spot, easy process to find and check in. Lovely spacious kitchen and wonderful outdoor table and BBQ area. We were 2 families with kids so one stayed upstairs and the other down, it's a bit awkward that you have to go through one of the bedrooms to access the bathroom, and shower and toilet in the same room. The kids loved watching the boats. I highly recommend checking out Paradise Pizza down the road

Fantastic getaway
We booked this location as my young kids were begging me for a fishing trip. This property stood out with its great location by the river. Absolutely magic. Rod greeted us on arrival - even offered us use of his boat but sadly I don’t have a license. He dropped off a stack of firewood too. A great host. A great property.

A relaxing paradise
It was amazing to escape all the stress of everyday life and relax in this cute riverside cottage. Our kids had a ball playing soccer, cricket and using the jetski. It was so convenient having our own private boat ramp to use. Thank you for a lovely stay. We would love to come back oneday.

We love it here its hard to come home this place is a slice of paradise. We are thankful for the table upstairs and the pantery. The only thing i say is it needs bigger freezer so you dont have to leave to get food from shops and have ice cubs or a ice maker would be awesome thanks to rod he is a really good guy see you all next year

Great Location to relax
It was a great experience. There are a few things I would like to recommend to the owner; need another toilet and a bathroom. No wash basin. Only they have a washer; handy if you can add a dryer as well. Also not providing fire woods and linen even for an extra cost. We have to carry everything. And then please change the beds with solid bed heads. But all those things can neglect with the great location.

beautiful lower portland
the property was delightful, I think one of the most prettiest views I've had the pleasure to sit and enjoy. The house itself was excellent, extremely clean and well stocked. The only drawback was the house and our immediate surroundings were about 20 metres from the boat ramp which was used by at least 5 or 6 different boats. At first it was exciting to watch the cars back the trailer into the water and launch the boats but after a while with different people being relatively close to us I began to feel uncomfortable. The owner's 2 sons were friendly and pleasant but the others didn't acknowledge us and it became awkward and I decided to go indoors when they were getting their boats on and off the water. Sadly this took away from the overall comfort of our stay.

Place to relax
Was a lovely place overall, and Rod was very pleasant when we met briefly. Relaxing and great views of the river, great little fire pit and bbq area. However, we didn't realise until settling in, that there is a boat building/fixing business on the premises. There was some sort of fibre glass resin spray used, which gave out industrial strength fumes at inconvenient times, mostly when we wanted to sit outside, resulting in us having to go back inside to avoid these fumes. I feel there needs to be a notice/warning to let guests know that spraying goes on at certain times of the day, so they are forewarned. Would be dreadful if someone with respiratory/asthma issues was to become sick because of these strong fumes. Also, one toilet for 10 people proved to be tricky, especially when we had to walk through someone else's bedroom to get to it. There is a washing machine provided, however, there is no clothes airer, clothesline or dryer to dry clothes. Despite all this, it is a nice place to stay. Thanks Rod

We had a great time, beautiful spot, clean house and owners were very accommodating. Will stay again
We tented this property for 11 days and had a great time. The location was quiet and the scenery picturesque. The property contained everything you needed and more (which was surprising). Just needed to bring your own linen. The owner was easy to contact and more than happy to respond to our queries in minimal time. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and family. Thanks Rod and family .

What a place!
Great place that ticked all the boxes - the convenience of the boat ramp and jetty cannot be explained. It really was what both families needed plus 2 little dogs only things I would note bring esky with ice as fridge and bar fridge are small and floor mat for shower would be great to have provided and you need to be aware 1 bathroom toilet is accessed through bedroom downstairs or externally ..close quarters - I would have happily paid for linen hire also. Overall we can’t fault our stay really appreciate the ease of the check in and check out and the overall house was great
