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.

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.

Nice & relaxing
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.

The property was unclean in some areas. We had to request more toilet paper and ran out of tissues. We did not realise that we could not drink the tap water and had to provide our own - or that the property did not provide drinking water. It was relaxing. The jetty was great.

Amazing place and location
Absolutely amazing place, with a location to die for. Was a beautifully relaxing week, watching my kids in the river on their kayaks or on the boat with dad. Topped off by the most spectacular fireworks display for the new year.

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.

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

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.

Amazing!
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!!

Thankyou to Michelle for a great experience. The house was clean, modern and had everything required for a larger group! Even though the weather wasn’t great, the house provided plenty of undercover area so we could still have a great time! Highly recommend.

Outstanding
This property has everything you could ask for. The views, wildlife, spacious house, beautifully furnished, fully fenced and pet friendly! Michelle went above and beyond on making sure our stay was enjoyable as could be. Unfortunately we couldn't use our jetski but managed to get it repaired on the Saturday but ran out of time to use it. We were extremely grateful Michelle allowed us to have a late checkout. So we could enjoy the jetski as we were looking forward to it very much. I couldn't recommend this property and its lovely host enough!

Great weekend getaway
We loved having the jetty right out front which was where we spent most of our time as it was easy to dock the boat and go swimming. Great views from the top balcony and there was seating for 10 around the table which was perfect for dining. Unfortunately the power went out for 4-5 hours on New Year’s Eve which also meant the water was out. We had a bit of trouble reconnecting the water, instructions for this would be handy. It was 40 degrees every day so it was too hot to stay in the bottom room, we had to rearrange the bedding upstairs - a proper aircon in the bottom bedroom would fix this 🙂 Everything we needed in the kitchen and for the bbq! There were also lots of mozzie coils and candles which helped as we couldn’t get any prior. Great to have 2 fridges, the one upstairs we used for food and the one downstairs we used for drinks. We did have a bit of trouble with the dishwasher and had to wash things a couple times which was a little annoying - perhaps it just needs a clean out? A bug zapper would also be great for upstairs as we ended up having thousands of bugs in the lounge and kitchen. Ceiling fans on the upstairs balcony would have been great for when it was so hot - the little floor fan just blew hot air and didn’t move the air around enough. Loved having the dogs there as it was fenced off, they enjoyed running on the grass and coming down to the jetty with us. Neighbours dogs were also friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others 🙂
