Wow! What a location! The spot is amazing and the grounds are well thought-out so if you just want to chill, as I did, you have lots of options (and I’d recommend trying them all)! There’s a very comfy 3 seater chair swing with great views, a hammock (a bit deep for me - I couldn’t see out of it easily), Sun loungers with a fire pit, a pontoon, a dining table with chairs, and two outdoor armchairs with a little coffee table. Two timid water dragons kept me company from a safe distance for most of the day. In terms of outdoor chilling, what more could you possibly want? Be aware that during the day, the river can get busy with water skiers and loud speedboats, but for the most part, this really wasn’t an issue. If you’re lucky enough to be there on moonlit nights, as we were , you’ll have additional silent views of a perfect glass-surfaced river all to yourself.
The cabin is a small studio with a really nice ensuite bathroom and power shower. The bed is super comfy; the tv has Freeview channels from all over Australia, Netflix, YouTube, sbs and a few other things. The kitchen is small but has everything needed to cook decent meals, and is well stocked with oil, condiments, etc etc as well as breakfast stuff! However, remember to bring all your food/drink as there’s nothing nearby at all. (The closest place is probably Wisemens Ferry, 30 mins away along narrow twisty turny roads.)
Howard is a fantastic host and on hand across the road for anything you might need. In our case, this was a lesson on how to work the telly, as we’re muppets. We were pleased that he agreed to join us for a glass of wine on the deck afterwards -he’s fun and interesting company!
So all in all, a lovely stay. Thank you to Howard! We hope to be back!
