A place where mornings are painted with the golden hues of sunrise over the river, and evenings are best spent dining alfresco on the balcony as the stars reflect in the gentle current below. The Space: Set on the serene banks of the Clarence River, this private residence offers a sanctuary where time slows and nature takes centre stage. Here, the river is both your playground and your backdrop—a place for peaceful reflection or exhilarating adventure. Your Riverside Haven Surrounded by lush gardens and endless cane fields, this retreat blends charm and tranquillity. At its heart is a private floating pontoon, your gateway to the water. Whether you’re dropping a line for the catch of the day or launching your boat to explore the river’s winding beauty, the river invites endless discovery. The home itself is thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection. Four spacious bedrooms with luxury linen provide peaceful retreats, complemented by two stylishly renovated bathrooms and an extra toilet off the verandah. The airconditioned living room keeps you cool and relaxed, with ceiling fans ensuring every corner feels fresh and inviting. The kitchen is fully appointed and stocked with essentials such as salt, pepper and olive oil and the bathrooms are adorned with luxury Leif soaps to add luxury to your escape. Step out onto the expansive balcony, where a large dining table and BBQ set the stage for riverside feasts. Watch boats glide by as the water reflects hues of gold and blue and let the river’s gentle rhythm set the tone for your stay. Where Adventure Meets Escape For avid anglers and boating enthusiasts, Clarence River Retreat is a dream come true. Cast your line directly from the pontoon, explore the hidden bends of the river by boat, or simply enjoy the sight of the water dancing in the sunlight. Stroll Through Nature’s Embrace Step outside and lose yourself in the retreat’s lush, leafy grounds, where every path invites exploration. Wander among swaying trees and vibrant greenery, the air rich with the scent of the river and the gentle hum of nature. Find hidden nooks perfect for quiet reflection or a shaded spot to linger with a book as sunlight filters through the leaves. The gardens, a sanctuary of tranquillity, are a natural extension of the river’s calming presence, offering space to pause, breathe, and let the world fade away. Disconnect to Reconnect Without internet to distract, this is a chance to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of your surroundings. Let the kids ride their bikes in the spacious driveway, read a book in the shade of the garden, or simply revel in the quiet moments the river so generously offers.
