What a beautiful, tranquil and idyllic setting, perfect for distressing and relaxing. So quiet, you will see no one your entire stay (we didn’t anyway).The cottage holds so much history and the river at the doorstep is so peaceful first thing in the morning, with only the native birds giving their awakening calls.If you’re looking for peace and harmony, and reconnecting with each other, this is your place to be. You will find a spotlessly clean home for your stay with a comfortable bed and everything you need in the kitchen.Enjoy!

Perfect riverfront location! The cottage is beautifully renovated throughout and immaculately presented. Equipped with everything you need for a long or short getaway, all we needed to bring was food and drinks. The private boat ramp was a bonus and made launching the boat easy. The communication with hosts, Graham and Elspeth, was clear and simple. We loved our stay and can't wait to visit again!

What an amazing place to spend some time. The accomodation is beautiful and so much extra was provided, I know I can leave a bunch of things at home next time. The river in this area was very quiet, I don't know if that's normal but we saw maybe 5 fishing boats go past the entire weekend, no water skiers, or jet skis. This was the beginning of May so possibly not the season for it. Really very peaceful. Instructions were clear and everything was very easy to find and use. Truly a great experience. We will be back.

This is truly a perfect getaway in an historic cottage, within a stone's throw to the river. It is a unique location, in a comfortable and renovated old cottage. Words that come to mind are beautiful, secluded, private, quiet. The hosts were excellent, with a real desire to make our stay a unique experience.

We loved that the host left some local produce to welcome us. The blending of old style with some essential mod-cons was well done. We liked that the place was warm and inviting when we arrived. The spot is so peaceful and near Banrock Station and other Riverland attractions. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a great time. I We had all the essentials and even found some special items waiting for us in the fridge. It was a great spot to relax and unwind. We even had kayaks delivered to our door.

Our stay in Wigley Retreat was too short! It provided the respite we so needed after a busy and challenging time and allowed us to completely turn off. Clean, cosy, beautifully provisioned and we loved sitting on the veranda watching the birds!

Well where do I start. It was excellent in every way. Nice modern kitchen, sepeeat bedroom, large seperate bathroom, seperate lounge room. The host rang on check in day to say its ready and could come early. It was a very hot day, the host even had the aircon on before we arrived. There were some items for us like a bottle of wine, bread eggs and bacon.Do yourself a favour and stay here. Highly reccommend it.

Had a great time whether you want to relax,explore,fish,kayak or just de-stress this is the place secluded but still . within easy reach of Adelaide. It was the thoughtfull touches like bacon and eggs,and wine left by the owners that made it such a good experience.

Absolutely beautiful property, thoughtfully renovated and right on the river. Great communication from the hosts. The breakfast and local treats were a really nice touch. We'll definitely be back again.

If you are looking for a perfect place to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the river this is the spot. It's so quiet that you can hear nothing but nature. The cottage is quaint and very comfortable. The breakfast supplied was very generous and the host was easy to contact.

Couldn’t fault the hosts or amenities - the Radford’s (great name) were most welcoming and the retreat was lovely (clean, well appointed, with many thoughtful extras)
