I googled 'shack on a river near me' and this is what I found! It was close by and a the shack was really comfortable and many extras provided. We spent most of our time on the verandah and on the day beds on the lawn reading, eating, chatting and looking at the river. I did a lot of swimming - the pontoon is great. We saw an echidna waddle through the place one morning. Magpies greeted us each day. Howard was extra helpful and it was good to have some time for a bit of a natter. We both felt incredibly rested and renewed from our 3 days. Thanks a lot Howard.
