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.

A spectacularly located cottage overlooking the River Murray in a peaceful, quiet vineyard. The cottage is beautifully presented with so many thoughtful details. Kym and Chris were very friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovey accommodation.....perfect for a short getaway. All the little touches are noticed...Wine & Chocolates on arrival...fire set up for lighting....everything clearly marked. Views are magnificent. Beds great....pleanty of everything.

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!

Perfect for those wanting to "chill"

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.

All good, been before and will go back again

Excellent property. Clean well maintained beautiful view. Peaceful

Jan 28th - Feb 1st 2022 Brilliant! couldn’t ask for a better location overlooking the river, spectacular!! Hosts Kym & Chris were most hospitable giving a friendly vibe welcoming us from day one. The charming cottage stay was amazing providing breath-taking panoramic views surrounded by nature from sunrise to sunset, sensational. We are looking forward to our next visit.

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.

Beautiful relaxing and peaceful place to stay with a wonderful view of the river and lots of birdlife. Close to town but far enough away too. Not far to travel to anywhere in the Riverland. Highly recommend.

Very well situated on the bank of the Murray. Very quiet, clean and supplied with everything for a great stay. Safe and secluded with lots of bird life to enjoy.

Kym & Chris were fantastic hosts we had the pleasure of meeting them and had a great conversation about the river, the local property, wildlife and places to visit while in the riverland. The stay was just what we needed and the view OMG Thanks for the memories Chris &Ally

The cottage is in a fantastic quiet location, away from town. A lovely clean and well provisioned cottage with an amazing view over the river. We really enjoyed the outdoor firepit and sitting out under the stars.

Cosy, easy access too local shops, servo & pubs, good spot to just slow down & unwind

Property was fabulous ideal for 2 couples.Everything we required was there.Lovely outside dining area looking right down to the river.Homely fire for cold evenings.Fantastic host Kym. We will return.

The cottage absolutely gorgeous and is perfect in every way. Great clifftop location with amazing views of the river. You feel like you're a million miles from anywhere, but really just a couple of minutes from town. Everything you could possibly need is generously provided. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be returning. Many thanks to Chris and Kym for this great place. Five stars all round!

Was a fabulous three night stay. Amazing location, worth getting up for sunrise on the deck!

Beautiful spot. Accommodation was spacious, comfortable and with a spectacular view. A lovely place.

This was just the perfect place to stay it had absolutely everything we needed they had thought of everything. It was perfect for 2 couples to stay in the setting was brilliant and handy to everything. Thank you so much for a great time away.

Perfect

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.

Great location, especially for a weekend getaway

You cant help but relax at Whistling Kite Cottage. Not only in a stunning and quiet location it is beautifully maintained by Chris and Kym who are lovely hosts.

Over the top

The cottage was really lovely, spotlessly clean and such a peaceful spot overlooking the river and surrounded by grape vines. I hope to go again.

Fantastic property, so peaceful overlooking the river with a short drive into town. Very comfortable and Ideal for two couples. Only have to bring your food as the cottage is so well supplied with everything needed. Chris & Kym were lovely hosts We will be back

This was a beautiful property very clean.

Beautiful house and surrounds. Views amazing! Quiet, peaceful, relaxing perfect place to unwind! We will be back!

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.

Had a fabulous 2 days post houseboat in this unique location. Beautifully presented, well equipped and super clean. Lovely hosts also.
