Ruston House is a lovely, super clean property. The heaters were on when we arrived which made it feel very cosy and inviting. The beds were nice and comfortable. There was milk and a bottle of local wine in the fridge which was greatly appreciated. The house is in a fabulous location. We walked down a laneway next to the neighbouring house and arrived at the Murray river. A walking path leads you to the port area in one direction or a scenic trail in the other. The outside areas are lovely and well cared for. We sat in the sun on the front veranda and it was so relaxing. We would definitely recommend staying at Ruston House.

Our 3 night stay was great. We could not have asked for a better place. Such a gorgeous house and perfect location. Every little detail was thought of, from the torch at the key box, to the soap/shampoo etc in the bathrooms and the kitchen condiments and the house smelt amazing when we walked in. We will be back. Thank you! x

Great getaway

Lovely period home thoughtfully renovated and perfect for a family with 4 well appointed bedrooms. Lots of little extra touches made the accommodation extremely comfortable with a fabulous location. Some great walks in the area too, and close to the lovely Echuca Port. We felt right at home and did not want to leave. Highly recommend!!!!
