## Overview

Escape to Coorong Island Retreat: Where Nature is Your Host

Wake up to the raw beauty of the Murray River and the Coorong. Whether you’re here to play, explore, or simply slumber, this is nature’s brilliance in its purest form.

The Vibe 
Think breathtaking scenery and local wildlife encounters. We’re a working rural property, so expect wide-open pastures, the occasional alpaca or sheep wandering past, and authentic country charm.

Adventure Your Way 
On the Water: A paradise for boaters, fishers, and birdwatchers.

On the Trail: Bushwalk through nature trails or bike straight to the Coorong.

Explore Further: Tackle 4WD tracks at Coorong National Park or take a "tasting tour" of Langhorne Creek, located about a 1-hour drive (approx. 86km) away.

The Setup 
We welcome self-contained campervans, families, and well-behaved pets.

Pro Tip: It can get breezy! While campervans have plenty of space, we have a "hidden" sheltered spot between the tree groves that is perfect for 2–3 tents or swags if you want to duck the wind.

Seasonal Essentials

Getting Here: In winter, 2WDs have no trouble. In summer, the sand gets loose—so bring the 4WD!

Campfire Vibes: Fires are welcome outside of Fire Ban Season (typically November to late April).

Ready to unplug? Your island escape is waiting.
