River House - sleeps 6 Luxury

River House Retreat is a spacious home - with three living areas, and two bathrooms. Furnished with quality, bespoke linens and soft furnishings, with stylish touches and comfortable spaces, you will nestle into the sounds of nature around you. Wallabies and pademelons, possums, raptors, owls and native birds are abundant, you will enjoy the river views, especially at sunset. Dogs are welcome but must be under the owners control at all times to not disturb the wildlife. The space The home was established in 1972 by an Englishman who loved gardens and then a local GP who lived here and raised his family, developing an orchard and gardens into his retirement. It has recently changed hands and a local family now hosts guests to enjoy our amazing place on the planet. The wildlife, bird life and sounds of nature are a beautiful place to unwind. Located near Turners Beach, central to Ulverstone, Devonport and local farm gates and tourist attractions, and in the middle of the coastal bike pathways, it is perfectly located to explore the NW coast. 1 hrs drive from Cradle Mountain, and 15mins walk to Leith Beach, or 20mins to Turners Beach, or 5mins by bike (we hire e-bikes) to beaches and cafes, you will love your retreat. We can order and deliver a gourmet box of treats to go with your local wine or sparkling, and you may want to stay and not go anywhere! Books, games, silence and sunsets with your bubbles may entice you to stay! Guest access If you book all of River Retreat to sleep 6 you will have access to the entire house and garden. There is a completely separate studio on the property but will have your own facilities, entrances and full privacy, including the verandah, and all rooms, but share the laundry, and maybe the fire pit. There are external security cameras, for your security whilst staying at the retreat and for ours when you are not. No cameras are inside the house. We do respect guest privacy, and also invite you to alert us should you have any issues. Other things to note The main house has stairs, that are quite steep, and have open access despite the gate, so be careful with young children and small dogs. The property has some fencing, but it isn’t secure, so if you bring children or pets, you will need to supervise them at all times to keep them and the local wildlife safe. The river is across the road, so accessible to walk along, and provides amazing sunsets, it is however fast flowing water and not suitable for swimming. Turners Beach, is suitable to swim no matter the time of year, but you might need a wetsuit to stay warm! There is a wonderful off leash beach on the western end of Turners Beach and you can walk your dog in leash from the wonderful Little Riva Cafe - plenty to explore and good fishing too!
