Second time staying at the cottage, and we absolutely love it here. The cottage is very clean and the wood heater makes for a very cosy night in the winter when you can't sit outside and get lost in the magnificent view of the Murray.
We will definitely be back for a third time. Thanks for sharing this lovely place of yours :)

We stayed for a week at the cottage and couldn't have asked for anything more relaxing, I could have stayed forever.
The cottage was beautifully clean and very comfortable with everything you need to make the most of your break.
The views are wonderful, we spent many hours on the deck just relaxing and enjoying the wildlife. We will most definitely be returning.

Our stay was so lovely! The location itself was perfect with the view over the river, but the cleanliness, set up and feel of the house added a whole other level to our stay! It was the perfect place to unwind and slow down. We'd love to come back again.

Pure Perfection
Whistling Kite is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed at. The photo's, whilst totally accurate, don't convey the feelings of tranquility and peace that we felt while staying here. The view of the river is breathtaking, the decor is just lovely, the bed is so comfortable, the fire is amazing, kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. Hosts Kym and Chris are some of the loveliest people you could ever wish to meet and their thoughtfulness and warmth truly shine through in this lovingly restored accomodation. The sunrises, birds, stars, being surrounded by vines and nature made it a more than perfect stay. We can't wait to stay again!

River therapy
A wonderful and comfortable long weekend escape from the stress of 2022 life as it currently is.
Breakfast on the front deck is a must as is sitting out there whenever the need takes you. And if the weather is less cooperative, there are big windows and a comfy couch that you can chill on and simply take in the river view while watching the myriad of bird life chase around the garden.
Little touches like a cupboard with a variety of teas and pantry basics was wonderful to discover as well as the wine and chocolates included for us to enjoy.
A well equipped kitchen means you can happily stay in and cook, even though the cottage is close enough to Waikerie should you want to head out.
Most importantly, the bed is comfy and the shower hot.
Looking forward to returning with friends sometime in the future.

Perfect setting, wonderful stay
We spent two wonderful nights at this very well cared for, and beautifully presented property. As soon as we arrived we were blown away by the location!! Superb views, absolutely magical setting. The property itself is very comfortable and very charming. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay short, and our hosts were very accommodating. We could have easily spent weeks here, and will be back in the future. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing stay.

Amazing stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Whistling Kite cottage. It was clean and thoughtfully furnished. Kym and Chris were very helpful and replied to any questions very promptly. The cottage is ideally located just a short drive from Waikerie, and while we enjoyed exploring the town, we loved having the opportunity explore other parts of the Riverland as recommended by our wonderful hosts.

Weekend break
Very clean and comforable, well provisioned, very quiet location among the vines with beautiful view across the river yet close to the town for visits. Double rooms suit one/two couples but be wary of the cliff edge for children. In all a very relaxing time.
