Peaceful relaxing stay in a top location!

Great value for money stay. The property was very clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious and provided everything we needed for our 2 night stay. It’s the first time staying at an orchard. The gardens were relaxing and inviting with an abundance of interesting birds. Excellent dark skies for those interested in seeing the stars. The host, while giving us plenty of privacy was friendly, interesting to chat to, and very accommodating. We definitely would stay at the property again in the future when we are next in the region.

Beautiful river retreat

Beautiful scenery surrounding the property with the orchid in flower and buzzing with bees. The bird life was flourishing and the bottlebrush outside the back garden was exquisite and full of birds day and night. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the beds were great. The house had a good peaceful vibe and very suitable for family and friends. The oranges were excellent for juicing and generous to allow us to access. Highly recommend staying here.

Great Riverland Break

Great location, wonderfully peaceful, remote from the 'madding crowd' but still sufficiently adjacent to everything you might need. House well equipped - even egg cups! Hosts very helpful.

Relaxing location

This property has the quiet getaway from the hustle of modern life, with the spectacular Murray river wilderness at your finger tips. The working team that stayed were as refreshed while still working, as a month leave would have done.

Unique experience

We had a brilliant family holiday and were well looked after. This is a beautiful location with direct river access and very private. We loved hanging out down by the river as well as in the large garden area for family BBQs. Incredibly relaxing. Thanks

Absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to go back!

Border Cliffs Retreat is absolutely gorgeous! Leith & Mandy are delightful hosts and their communication brilliant. We hit the house on a ridiculously hot day and they did everything possible to make the house cool for us - not an easy task when it’s 47 degrees outside! The house itself is lovely, very well appointed and beautifully decorated. The view out over the rose garden to the citrus orchard beyond is spectacular! The river access and the view from there is amazing!!! There were peaches falling off the tree outside the house and we were free to pick and enjoy those. It was fun to be on a working farm and it was scenically beautiful! We could not have hoped for better hosts, more beautiful surroundings or a greater location! We would just have liked to stay longer!!!!! Thank you so much, Leith & Mandy
