About this property

The Ridge Gunbower..

!!! Getting very close to starting construction of the New Ridge house :) The new house is going out the back of current house. Have made a new fenced off dog area. We will still rent out the current house on the weekends while the new house is getting built.!!!! Exciting times !! House is situated on 8 acres of bush land with creek frontage.
If your preferred dates are not available make sure you look at our other holiday house "The Grove".
If you love peace, tranquillity and wildlife then this is the place for you. Abundant bird life and when walking along the banks of the Gunny Creek, you may spot a Wallaby or two. Paddock can also be used for motorbike riding for the kids.

We love people who bring their dogs and other pets on holidays with them. We do have a secure dog yard. Pets are allowed inside. But be sure to bring your own blankets/ bedding for them to lay on. Do not allow pets on furniture and bedding. And please vacuum dog hair from floor before leaving.

The Gunbower Creek is a great spot for fishing and in summer it is a popular place for swimming and water skiing.
Murray cod, yellow belly and carp are often caught in the creek. Boats can be launched at the nearby boat ramp, which is just a five minute walk from the cottage. It is currently difficult to fish from the bank of the creek due to the large amount of water lilies growing in the shallow water. But we have installed a fishing jetty nearby to make it easier for visitors without a boat, to fish.
Row boat, canoe and kayak are available for tenants' use at no extra charge. Kids life jackets are supplied.

NEW!!! Streaming services Stan and PrimeVideo available for free. Literally thousands of movies and TV shows to choose from.
Also have good range of DVDs if internet is out.

Free unlimited WiFi Internet available.

The Gunbower Creek is lowered from mid May till mid August. A shallow stream flows in the creek at this time of the year. Therefore the mud banks are exposed and it is difficult to get to the water to fish. Fishing is possible ten minutes from Gunbower in the Murray River. Please contact us if you require further information.
In Gunbower there is a Takeaway Shop,that also provides all basic requirements, McGillivrays' Butcher Shop , and The Gunny Pub which provides excellent meals .

A great little pet friendly cottage
A lovely rustic farm cottage, a perfect spot to get away from it all. The dog and I enjoyed the walking track along the waterway and sitting in the shade , listening to different sounds of nature. I will be back again.

An absolute pleasure staying at the ridge
My family and I have been coming to the ridge for over 15 years and enjoy the stay to relax from our business life style as it’s so peaceful and quiet location which we love and cottage is so gorgeous has everything equipped for the stay. We would highly recommend to anyone that loves the peace and quiet like we do.

A rustic retreat
The Ridge was something a little bit different for me, but it gave me everything that I needed - a comfy bed, a comfy couch, hot water and all of the other neccessities for basic food preparation and getting away from it all. The location is ideal if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The host was also excellent to deal with. I recommend this accommodation, so long as you're not looking for anything too fancy. I will certainly go back there at some stage.
