This has to be one of our favorite places we have stayed we got to unwind relax and absorb all the nature that was surrounding us loved being here it was so quiet the main sound we heard was the river. We will be back!
We all had a really amazing time, spent hours by the fire taking in all the surroundings. The property was perfect so much space and so warm with the indoor fire and had everything we needed so we didn’t have to go anywhere.. the kids said it was the best holiday house they have stayed in ♥️♥️
Rainforest River Retreat is a truly divine experience with healing powers. The beautiful location, clean air, green surroundings along with constant running water makes for a calming getaway and restores the busy person to a peaceful human.
What a lovely home and a beautiful spot on the Upper Kangaroo River! We had a lovely time at this riverside home, and especially enjoyed the nightly wombat visits in the yard! Yarrawa winery is walking distance and a fun afternoon of wine-tasting. Just take note, boots a good idea in the grass to avoid leeches….
Eveything about our home away from home was perfect! This property is beautiful, the surrounding is spectacular & peaceful.
The whole process was seamless and very easy.
If your looking to unwind and escape the city this is a place where you will feel recharge reconnect & grounded again!!
