Border Cliffs River Retreat

We have just had an amazing week staying at Border Cliffs. Beautiful scenery,river to yourself, friendly service from all including Duke the dog. It made our holiday that We could take our dog as well. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Had a great stay and holiday. The owner checked on us once when we came and a day later took us on a ride on his boat on the river. We had our privacy throughout our stay. House is big and comfortable with big fridge, no mobile connection helped as we could focus on relaxing. Will return soon.

Never stay at a place when the OWNER lives 100 meters away

When booking our holiday I entered 4 adults and 2 children on the Stayz website, it gave me a quote. I changed the booking to 8 adults but there was no change in the price, so booked for the 4 adults and 2 children.

On the first night my 3 adult children came down to stay for one night and when I returned from the river the owner was standing in the doorway obviously counting people. The kids went home the next day and had two other friends’ visit for the night, so while cooking breakfast (no decent pans for pancakes had to use the BBQ) he approaches me again and tells me I had more than I had booked, so I told him about the booking experience with Stayz. He wasn’t listening and told me there was an ATM in Renmark and I could pay him Cash

This explained why he was so active on his motorbike around the house for most of our stay (only the 4 adults and 2 children remained, but he had to watch us). Then while we were going to the riverfront we drove past him and he waved and chased us down to the river to hassle me again about how many we booked.

We felt very uneasy on our holiday due to his actions and paid him the gap even though the website doesn’t allow you to book different numbers of people for the nights we stayed and the quote didn’t change when I entered 8 people.

When I paid and asked for a receipt he said he would bring it over in the morning, and even though he was 100 meters away he couldn’t manage to give us one within the 14 hours prior to our departure.

So if you like being watched and rolling into the middle of the bed to be close to your loved ones, then this is the place to go.

Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property we booked thinking we were staying in Renmark. It wasn't until directions were forwarded to us that we found out we were actully 30kms further on than Renmark. The bowling trip we were on was played over Berri, Renmark and Barmara. We got allocated Barmara so therefore a 120km round trip, so we found that inconvenient. Perhaps it should be mentioned on the booking site the house it actually 30 kms outside Renmark so people can make their own decisions. Nothing wrong at all with the house - wonderful! and Leith was very helpful so we did enjoy our time there.

Very comfortable and spacious character home with everything we needed and much more...The large secure area was a fantastic bonus with the river just at the back yard. We enjoyed every moment we stayed there, the sunrise , sunset. My family , with the three children had a lovely holiday there. HIGHLY recommend!!!
