• Karen and Des (10/5): A lovely modern cottage retreat - Emu Retreat is a lovely cottage attached to the back of the hosts house. It is beautifully appointed with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. It is newly restored with a clean, modern style. The cottage looks out over the backyard to a large gum tree full of birds and the front yard faces farmland. It is quiet and lovely.

• Christine (10/5): Warm, comfortable and safe. - What a little gem of a place. We were travelling from South Australia to home in Melbourne and used this place as an overnight stay. We were extremely pleased with this private little "stay away from home" place. Everything was so well appointed and the bed was extremely comfortable. Everything was provided for a lovely breakfast in the morning before leaving. Loved all the thought that has been put into making us feel at home. Thankyou Michelle and David.

A nice, quiet spot. Easy parking and the room had a homey feel to it. Well equipped, very clean and the kids especially loved their choice of breakfast (small bags of cereal, toast, hot chocolate/coffee/tea, orange juice). Comfy beds with electric blankets, good shower with shampoo etc provided and nice towels. The host was very friendly and accommodating. Would certainly come back if we had to be in the area. Nothing.

• Chris (9/5): Comfortable, compact accommodation in quiet surroundings - The unit is sparkling new and has almost everything you could wish for, down to the 2 chocolates on the bed. Although compact, it is very comfortable, including the bed. The location on the very edge of town is whisper quiet. The continental breakfast provides several choices of cereal and spreads plus 2 slices of white bread. There is only instant coffee as well as tea. The white bread and only one small serve of margarine, not butter. A personal choice, really, as we both prefer bread with more texture, but that's being picky. Instant coffee.

We ran accommodation ourselves in the Clare Valley in SA for 10 years and this B&B was exceptional. Everything was perfect and we mean perfect We looked hard and we couldn’t fault a thing with our background in the hospitality industry Spotless super comfortable plenty to eat just nothing to not like about this place Communication was instantaneous we knew where to go and what was on offer and we were 120% pleased with our stay and we look forward to returning Andrew and Carolyn Riverton South Australia
