Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Private Jetty Private Tidal Beach

Swim on the high tide - the private jetty pontoon is a great place to jump in on the high tide. The white sand private tidal beach is also wonderful on the high tide...

Kayaking

Take a kayak trip along the river shoreline (two single kayaks w/life jackets and paddles provided)...

Fishing From The Private Jetty

Fish from the private jetty (BYO rods, hooks, bait & sinkers - best fishing from wharf is on the evening high tide)...

Row Your Boat Kind Of

If you're wanting to check out some of the local spots but aren't in the mood to swim, then make sure you organise a hire boat from the river taxi before you leave, pack a snack and go putting around the river in your trusty tinny. It doesn't move fast, but you're on holiday so you don't need to.

Whether it be searching for a fishing spot, enjoying a nap with the waves rocking you to sleep or just checking out the local scenery, it's always a fun time....

Fishing Without The Hard Work

Most fishing enthusiasts will tell you of the super duper secret spots to go to, but you're on holiday so who needs that? So go and grab a rod and enjoy hanging locally and pitching a spot on the rocks in front of the balcony or down on the jetty and enjoy being in nature. The longest trip you'll have to make is from your comfy spot to the fridge.

This spot is all about removing the clutter and minimising the hard stuff, so enjoy taking it easy and relax away....

Outdoor Equipment Provided

Enjoy the outdoors with the following equipment included in your stay.

Kayak (2)

Two single kayaks with life jackets and paddles.
Enjoy your own private jetty with pontoon....
