At 2520km it is the longest river in Australia , and the length of this river means that it passes through many different landscapes – and offers many different experiences including fishing, cruising and relaxing on the sandy beaches. Tokemata Retreat is nestled on 50 acres beside the famous red gum forests of the Murray and offers wonderful accommodation to suit a range of needs, and the peace and tranquillity of the delightful gardens is a bonus. The region is famous for many things, including challenging golf courses such as Yarrawonga, Tocumwal and Cobram Barooga.  But it would be a mistake to think that golf is the only option in this wonderful region&he...

This beautiful homestead features rooms with old-style detail such as 14’ pressed steel ceilings, but the owners Paul & Karen have married the old with the new in seamless style. Set in 6 acres and featuring well-maintained gardens (thanks to bore water), Yarriambiack enjoys glorious bush views and yet is only minutes away from the attractions of Yarrawonga/Mulwala.  First stop should be a relaxing drink or cup of tea on the sweeping verandah, which not only features great views of the gardens and surrounding bush, but is also the ideal place to allow the cares of everyday living to slip away. The property has a heated, salt water... Read more
