Stunning Location
We had a very enjoyable stay in Meningie. The house and cleanliness was outstanding and communication with Wendy was a breeze. This was a peaceful and relaxing few days, nice and quiet, spectacular views and plenty of birdlife. The Coorong is a special place to visit.

The accommodation was amazing. Everything you would ever need. Beautiful view from front verandah. Great outdoor seating area out of the afternoon Coorong breeze. We are just dissapointed we only stayed 2 night's. It's going to be a week next time.

Beautiful, peaceful house.
We stayed here for 5 nights. It was a lovely house with everything you could possibly need. The (help yourself) vegetable garden was a lovely surprise. The place was immaculate and the views and birdlife amazing. It was lovely to meet the owners who were a wealth of information about the area. Would definitely recommend to anyone. :)

Gem, the rear garden is well thought out and a wonderful place to walk/sit and enjoy nature and birds. The accommodation is clean and modern, if there is a drawback, shower time is limited due to tank water, limited supply. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very relaxing.

Coorong Calm
A much too short time on the waterfront. We found the property to be outstanding for the price, had absolutely everything we needed and more. The native garden and fresh herbs were an extra bonus. I enjoyed the office space to work from as well.

Coorong Peace
This lovely property is in our top 10 places to stay. 1st impression - this is a place well planned for comfort and ( important to us) excellent visual planning. We found the garden with herbs and vegetables a special plus. Across the road - there was “The Coorong” in all its splendour.. The birds the frogs and the peace made this stay very special. We hope there’s a “ next time” when we would stay longer. Thank you Wendy and Dean it was great to meet you both.

A peaceful retreat
Clean and beautifully presented, this lovely place has been thoughtfully created. Touches such as complimentary home grown seed packets, worm farm, vegetable garden, frog pond and decking with a beautiful view of the Coorong, are winners! Only downsides were the non light blocking blinds in bedrooms - good for early starts though; and the outside, persistent smell of rotting organic sea matter & mud! This can't be helped. It's just the environment. Does encourage indoor time, which is perfect if relaxing, reading books, watching DVDs or simply watching the pelicans is what you're after!

A true waterfront retreat
We absolutely loved this peaceful environment the many thoughtful additions that Wendy has thought of such as the endless supply of firewood, fine coffee, the Kayaks to the herb garden and more. We had a great time at the Waterfront retreat and would highly recommend a visit. Thanks, Heath

4 days at the coorong
Wonderful location for a quiet few days away in a well equipped house with a number of additional speciality surprises compliments of the owners. We kayaked across to the coorong dunes to see the national park up close. The weather was unkind however we visited a number of nearby locations including goolwa, Hindmarsh island and the vineyard centre of Langhorne creek taking advantage of crossing the Murray via ferries. We were also enjoyed to the mullet fish : a tasty local fish. Our hosts Wendy and dean were extremely helpful providing local knowledge as requested and we would certainly visit again.
