River Murray Escape - The Weekender Bowhill

Only 1.5 hours from Adelaide, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat is perfectly positioned across from the boat ramp, general store, and playground.

With spacious open-plan living, an expansive deck boasting river views, and an inviting outdoor space with festoon lighting and a fire pit you've escaped the hustle and bustle.

Whether you bring a book for a tranquil stay or your boat, jet ski, paddleboard, kayak, and fishing gear for an action-packed adventure, you're set for a memorable getaway.

When you arrive, the spacious living areas provide all the comforts of home, inviting you to unwind in a luxurious yet welcoming setting.

Step onto the expansive deck to enjoy serene river views, with cheeky kookaburras to greet you each morning and signal when it’s time to start the BBQ for dinner. The well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, and gas pizza oven invite you to create gourmet meals and gather with loved ones around the large dining table.

Awesome house with great interior design. Location is excellent. For older/reduced mobility users, could do with ramp access. We had a great stay there.

Bowhill Stay!
Was a lovely stay, with a lovely property and a lovely renovated house. We didn’t like the location of the microwave though (up a bit too high.)

Gorgeous Getaway
The weekender is a fantastic place for a getaway. Being a 2 minute walk from the river and a 2 minute walk to the general store, it's in a prime location. The house was lovely and clean and lived up to everything in the listing. The check in and out processes were nice and simple too which was good! All in all, it's the perfect spot for a weekend away!
