We stayed at Pelican’s Rest as a place to enjoy a reunion with another family after a few years overseas.
The location is breathtaking! Our kids spent most of the time in the water and made such special memories there. We really appreciated the use of the kayak. We’ll be back for sure!

Tony’s place was perfect for our family. Morning coffees in the back garden while enjoying that view were just too good. Tony showed the kids the best fishing spots and even let them take his dog, Jack out for walks.

First time in Australia, visiting some friends in Pottsville. This place was amazing. Loved eating in the back garden Was a little worried initially about river access being so close with young children but the back garden is fully gated.
