Our time at Riverwatch
This property would be in one of the best locations at Winda Wopper. The view is amazing and the verandah is the perfect place to relax. There were a few concerns though. The staircase needs a rail and there was a concern about my mother falling down the stairs coming from the bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen window was filthy. There were crumbs in some of the drawers. The lounge next to the stairs is a real worry as a child could climb on the lounge and fall down the stairs.
The place needs a good spring clean.

Beautiful, Peaceful Spot
Stayed here for 4 nights - and we're already looking for dates we can stay here again. It's a beautiful house in a great location. Spacious main area upstairs, well equipped kitchen, (mostly) comfortable furniture. As another reviewer has said, the dining table is not somewhere you want to sit for long periods of time (very big table, with high chairs), but you don't want to anyway - not when you've got that view from the balcony. We spent much of our time watching the river (and spotted dolphins a few times, along with a bunch of different birds).
I wouldn't recommend taking small children - we had a 5 year old with us, I think anything younger would be difficult. Probably great for older kids though, with a playground a short walk down the road, and Jimmy's Beach one street away.

Relaxing stay
The property was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The location was perfect for us, as we brought a kayak, and so it was just across the road to get to the water. We enjoyed the warm northerly sun in late autumn. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, and the bathrooms were new and clean. We would stay here again.

Excellent 👌
This place is excellent. The view is spectacular. Bifold glass doors and an open plan kitchen perfect for entertaining. The deck is a perfect spot to sit and watch the dolphins and bird life. The lake across the road is great for fishing and swimming at high tide. We will be back had a lovely time 😊

Understated!
A very well renovated property in a very peaceful location with great outlook over the river. The beach on Nelsons Bay is about 100 metres away. The description understates the amenity and amenities on offer. The kitchen is excellent and well stocked with basics. And the windows were clean as, which is not always the case. An excellent 4 day break.
The dining table is interesting, but not conducive to a long lunch or dinner!

Fabulous riverside location
Immaculate and tastefully presented beach house. We loved all the generous touches...well equipped kitchen and laundry, books and magazines. The riverside location was better than television and excellent for a small child to explore. We were all extremely comfortable and would love to holiday again. Thank you so much for providing such an excellent house.

Perfect location for a holiday home.
Nicely renovated house in perfect setting overlooking the river and very close to the beach . The house contained all mod cons and was very comfortable. It was very quiet and was a great place for a relaxing holiday.
