Just love this place
Our second stay here - An Absolute break away from the big smoke of Sydney- so easy to just unwind here with the flowing Howqua river and night time cosy fireplace and spa. We just love staying here. The host Andy and his dog Ruffy are just amazing. Thank you- we will be back.

Long Weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the cottage. It was tranquil, restful and had all the creature comforts of home. We took along our 2 dogs who had a ball swimming in the river and also walks in the nearby state park. Thanks to Andrew who was very pleasant and accommodating and we would have no hesitation returning or recommending the cottage to anyone.

Complete relaxation by the river
This was our 2nd stay at Riverdowns and won’t be our last. The hut has all the comforts you need and a great escape from the daily grind.

Country living
Tranquil and peaceful. The cottage was cosy and clean with everything you need. Theres a running river that you can hear while in the cottage, green paddocks and cows. There is everything you need to keep a warm fire going but heaters are available as well. To top it off is a friendly dog that welcomes you like an old friend.

Cozy comfort in serene surrounds
Warm cozy cottage for a late May stay. Cold outside and lovely in. Comfy bed. Please note not fenced for dogs, so we had to keep our swimmers on lead outdoors which was fine. The dogs loved their “dog TV” watching animals on the farm through the windows. Short drive to good walks! Loved it.
