Our second stay at River Cabana and it was amazing like the first time. A great place to relax and unwind, listening and seeing all the wildlife. We were lucky enough to see numerous birds, kangaroos, bunnies and even a fox! Fabia is a great and welcoming host.

Close to nature

Fabia made us feel very welcome and we loved the homemade bread. The pool was an added bonus and we loved the quirkyness of the accomodation. A short drive to town and not far to the beaches.
