Loved the peace and quiet at the River Cottage, the wild life - echidnas, birds, kangaroos and most of all the dolphins in the river. Loved all the bush walking, your maps and guides were great. Enjoyed the cafes in Bairnsdale and Paynesville where they made the dogs more than welcome. Larrikins in Bairnsdale even served them with bowls of water. Never seen so many koalas as on Raymond Island, and the dogs were welcomed at the cafes there too.

Just to let you know we had a great time at the River Cottage last week. It was just what we needed, peaceful and quiet and the beautiful weather was an added bonus. Another week there would have been better. Best of all the dogs had a great time, especially Sharnie trying to catch those rabbits that seemed to tease her every morning in the front yard. The facilities were great. We belong to a dog obedience club and would happily recommend your facility to other dog owners. Hope to visit again soon.

Neither of us were aware of how beautiful the Gippsland Lakes were. We hope to return. Lady says,"I've never had so much exercise and I also found out what salt water tastes like. I loved the inside/outside lifestyle with mum and dad. There should be more people like you who think about the 4-legged humans!"

We had a wonderful time at the River Cottage, particularly as we were able to have our dogs with us. I am sure if they could speak they would say thank you too. The wood fire is very effective. The dogs had lots of swims and enjoyed the walks. You will certainly see us again. We were specially pleased with the very comprehensive tourist information.

Thanks so much, I had a delightful time in your River Cottage. I so enjoyed the solitude. Had breakfast with bird song, watched the river silently move on its way, sketched tree trunks and sat on the jetty and spent a whole afternoon comtemplating the world. Thanks again.

The River Cottage is a very comfortable & easy way to relax. We loved the peacefulness, watching the boats go up and down the waterway. Kangaroo spotting an extra bonus! Our dog, Jedi, thinks he has died and gone to heaven! Great to have the fenced area at the front for him.

Thanks for your hospitality and great accomodation. All the tourist information provided was invaluable.

Just a quick note to say thank you for one of the best holidays we have ever had. We are all so relaxed, it is just heaven. Your hospitality and friendly attitude made us feel right at home and the peace and quiet of the River Cottage was so blissful, we didn't want to leave. We are looking forward to our next stay in the Christmas holidays with anticipation.

Had a great time. We came away for peace and quiet and that's exactly what we had. Lovely place, dogs had a ball. Will be back again when we need time out.
