Wood fire warmed the whole place, and sunlit living area in the afternoon was great. Split system as an option. Coffee machine was a bonus. Very comfortable. Bushwalk through the paddocks over the river and into the bush and a chat with the cows. ##### Michael B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maree C.

Jan 16, 2019 #### Spectacular property Rivernook at Johanna Seaside Cottages was truly the perfect end of year getaway my husband and I needed. The views are one in a million, the property is so comfortable with everything you need and the surroundings are spectacular. Our dogs loved it too-great for walking and a secure backyard where they rolled and played in the sun. We were lucky enough to have a koala perch on our back porch! We loved the quiet on New Years Eve too-no fireworks, just the roll of the ocean. Now that we're home, we're finding we already miss it! We will definitely be back and look forward to it. Tom, their caretaker, was lovely too-even helping us with a flat tyre!!! ##### Jodie E. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsea C.
