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.

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.

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.

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 🙂

Thanks, Jasmin. I’ve worried about that bottom bedroom but you’re the first guests in 3 years to say that it was a problem, though I’ve asked. I will put a split system in their, though. I’m sorry you had to do that. We tried to put a ceiling fan on the balcony but unfortunately the ceiling is too low so the floor fan is the best we could do. It’s usually enough but nothing will work when it’s 40 degrees.
Got Steve onto the dishwasher and he couldn’t find an issue so we’ll run a commercial cleaner through it.
Glad you had a great time and thanks for the feedback,
Michelle 😊

Dad's 80th Mannum stay
We were very impressed with the cleanliness and location of the property and all the 'little things' that were provided. Providing all linen and towels was fantastic as was the fact that the beds were all made up ready to go - even the bunks which was a very welcome surprise. Handy having condiments supplied. Kitchen was very well stocked. Additional plates etc were a very welcome addition rather than 'just enough' for 11 people which you often find in holiday homes. Kitchen was good size allowing multiple people to work in there at the same time. Additional fridge downstairs was very handy as a drinks fridge. Great having outdoor chairs upstairs and downstairs so that you didn't have to carry them up and down.
We loved our time there and would be very keen to return in the future.
