Absolute waterfront, absolute bliss. R&T's riverfront property. Pet friendly!

The renovations are complete and our place is open for guests!
Absolute riverfront with six bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, two living areas, a private jetty, and two upstairs decks. Ten kms upstream from Mannum in an exclusive clutch of shacks, this property is the ideal location for a quiet family holiday or the perfect getaway for 2 or more groups with ample living spaces and shared areas.
DESCRIPTION:
DOWNSTAIRS has 2 bedrooms with a queen bed in one and 2 singles in the other. There is a separate toilet and bathroom with basic toiletries, hair dryer and linen. The separate laundry is equipped with a washing machine and powder is supplied. The enclosed living area boasts a loungeroom with TV and kitchenette including a toaster, kettle, microwave, air fryer, fridge and dishes for four people.
OUTSIDE the large, fenced yard has ample space for parking. A large undercover area has a BBQ, fridge, dining and trestle tables, and pizza oven. A dart board and other assorted sports equipment are provided. There is a fire pit for ambiance and warmth and a 3rd toilet for convenience while enjoying the outdoor space. In front of the fenced yard is about 60m of lawn, perfect for a kick or the footy or a hit of cricket, with 2 large trampolines, leading up to your own private jetty. This 80m jetty leads out to deeper waters and a pontoon, perfect for swimming, boating, and jet ski action. Also available for an extra cost on application: 2 fishing kayaks.

Amazing!
We have stayed at many places on the river and this property is a new favourite. Lots of thoughtful touches, beautiful location and a lovely place. Great for a large group or two families. We will be back. The owners are also great communicators and were very understanding when we had to shuffle dates. Thank you!

We enjoyed the fire drum on 2 nights. There was plenty of carp to catch as well as a few callop. The kitchen & dining area is excellent. The downstairs screen door is broken. In general the 11 of us had an excellent time.

River Raptures
Very spacious. There were 12 of us in all. Six bedrooms which worked out very well. The River in the morning mist was magical. Children getting up before the sun to observe the river and all its morning activities. A bit stressful breakfasting 12 people, packing up and cleaning up by 10.00 am on the the Sunday...... but apart from that.... all good

We loved our three generation family stay at this great location. The kids played and fished and the adults relaxed. The fenced yard was secure for the youngsters. Communication with the owners was excellent.

Idyllic river setting
As a returning guest I was again not disappointed by this fabulous set up on the river. Everything we needed, great space to spend with the whole family, from the 1 yo to the 60 yo. The high chair and kids toys, games, colouring and cutlery make such a difference. The pizza oven a hit. Glorious views from the kitchen and balcony. A great base for us visiting Monarto and paddle steamer cruise. Will definitely come again.

Family Holiday
R&T's was a very spacious holiday home with all the comforts of home but with a stunning view of the River. The fenced area was really large and perfect to keep our dog secure. The only disappointment we found was knowing our checkout time was near and that we would have to leave such a wonderful holiday home. 😊 One of the best holidays we've had! Thanks Michelle and Steve.

Loved our little getaway here. Michelle was great to deal with, flexible & always responded promptly. The property was clean, modern and provided everything we needed. The layout suited us perfectly. Kids loved having the use of the jetty to go fishing & the trampolines were a hit as well. Great location, not even 10 mins out of Mannum so quick trips to the shops were easily done. Thanks again Michelle!!
