Our accommodation caters to every traveller, from fully self-contained one, two, three, and four-bedroom villas to a wide array of spacious camping sites. Bring your caravan, motorhome, or tent and choose from over 50 powered sites with lush green lawns or 50 unpowered sites set in a natural, secluded bush setting. Many sites offer magnificent, direct views of the river, while others are situated closer to the main facilities, perfect for families with young children. We proudly welcome your furry friends, making us the ideal choice for a complete family getaway—your leashed pooch is very welcome throughout the resort.
There is no shortage of things to do, with an extensive range of free resort facilities designed for all ages. Take a dip in the solar-heated swimming pool, challenge the family to a match on the plexipave tennis court, or enjoy a round on our mini-golf course. For boating and fishing enthusiasts, our private boat ramp and jetty provide easy access to the Murray’s renowned fishing spots, home to Murray Cod and Yellow Belly. Nature lovers can explore kilometres of bushwalking and cycling tracks, spot local wildlife like kangaroos and possums, or simply relax on our private sandy river beach. With campfires permitted in provided pits, you can end your day toasting marshmallows under the stars.
