Elliot River Retreat, Riverside Walks & Fishing, Large Pet Friendly Fenced Yard

The Elliot River Retreat is the only fully self-contained modern holiday rental in the area and an ideal relaxed getaway. The retreat is situated in a picturesque rural setting adjacent to the Elliot River on the southern side. The Retreat is peaceful, private and secluded and provides a space all to yourself.
The Elliot River has clear and shallow sections that are safe for children to play in, and deeper sections where you can catch estuary fish and put in a crab pot. If you are up for a longer walk you can walk along the river all the way to the tidal creek landing on the low tide, a return distance of 6 kilometers. You will find shoes made from wet suit material with a rubber bottom are the best type of footwear as the sand is course with small rocks and river mud in parts. Take your camera as the scenery is picturesque and you will see several varieties of birds even the occasional black swan, kangaroos and wallabies.
