Incredible
We had a very relaxing few days. The location was just beautiful! Our two dogs had the time of their lives with the water being on our doorstep. We will definitely be back again.

Kow Swamp Getaway
We love coming to Swampy's because the house is so close to the water 's edge and Echuca and Cohuna not faraway for day trips. Unfortunately the men were only able to catch carp but better than nothing! The ladies were disappointed that the outdoor spa wasn't working as this was one of the main attractions for us. Hoping that if we go again it will be back working and we can enjoy it again.
