House was so spacious and really well set up for families. The house was really clean and well set up. Beds were extra comfortable. My kids loved the basketball court. Sean was extremely accommodating, easy to communicate with and as there were no other bookings we were able to check in early and check out late. Would highly recommend the property!

We had such a good Xmas here. Away from the hussle and busy Echuca can be this time of the year. Great little town with a few gems. The Ridge was in a perfect location, peaceful and quiet with all the farm land around you. The house has great Amenities, I love cooking and the kitchen was a treat to use. Fabulous outdoor kitchen too right next to the Basketball court and archery. We also had full access to some kiyaks. So much fun. Sean the owner was so accommodating, and great communication. Would definitely love to stay there again.

Grandkids loved the new basketball court and loved paddling on the lagoon. Our dogs love this home, they are allowed inside, the outside areas are all flat with visiting cows up to the fully fenced yard. Fabulous location across a small dirt road to the lagoon.

Perfect piece of tranquil paradise. The house is bright, with a relaxed vibe that has everything you need. Comfy beds and an amazing swivel chair in the living room. The grounds were well maintained with secure fencing for children and dogs. The basketball court, archery and having the river across the road to fish means you can park the car and disconnect and relax. Sean was great to communicate with and checkin was easy. Loved it, will definately be back.

Holiday/work

Just 3 of us stayed which meant there was enough room to set up a portable in one on the bedrooms and work from “home” for the week. Quiet, comfortable, warm and the yard was big enough for 2 Jack Russell’s to remain occupied and safe.
