A Slow Stay By The River in Echuca

Escaping to this beautiful home by the river was the perfect time away with family. The home is situated right on the river where you can watch the sun rise, boats sailing on the water and is rich with wildlife. The home itself is beautiful, modern, with large kitchen windows where you can watch the whole world go by while enjoying your morning coffee. On days where you want to take it slow, there is the most stunning bookshelf filled with wonderful titles to explore. Read on the couch, or on the picnic bench by the river. It's completely up to you.

The goal posts, trampoline and fully equipped 'games room' make it any child's delight. There are endless things to do without even leaving the property. There is a gorgeous veggie patch full of fresh produce where the kids can water them and harvest.

The real highlight is the amazing campfire area, equipped with lights so you can see in the dark and roast as many marshmallows as your heart desires.

The town itself is full of things to do and see. The main attraction would be to take a ride on one of the historic paddle steamers along the river, before grabbing an ice cream from The Port Ice Creamery and maybe even stop at the confectionary shop on the way to the Twisted Science Museum.

The Waterfront brings you the perfect balance of peace and adventure with activities for all ages. It is the most unforgettable experience you will have, we already can't wait to return.

Be sure to stop by The Port Ice Creamery. It is family owned and has over 40 different flavours to choose from. Take a seat outside under the shady umbrellas and watch the world go by.

Science activities that are fun, engaging, creative and even a little messy. There's something for all ages, babies and adults alike. You can spend over an hour exploring all the things to see and do, with experiences that can include the whole family. There is lots of fun to be had!
