Platypus Bend is an amazing, spacious property in a prime location. So many amenities, you can tell every little detail has been well thought out, for guests. The back gate access onto the river provides a beautiful leisurely walk into the town. Would definitely stay again.

Daniel - 13th November 2024

Thank you to the wonderful team at AVG, Platypus Bend was presented beautifully. The decor, cleanliness and quality was outstanding, and it's the best equipped home we've ever stayed in. The riverside location was like a dream, the beds were so comfortable, the roaring fire was a treat, and the living areas gave us so much room to relax. We also appreciated the attention to detail with the Welcome Book and communication, it's all these extras that make a difference to a guest's experience.

Emily - 10th October 2024

Great accommodation. Very clean and tidy. The furniture is all excellent and makes the place look very vibrant. Very warm and cosey place. Definitely would recommend!

Alexei - 8th August 2024

A very comfortable place with everything that you could need in a holiday home. The location is ideal. The sound of the river is very soothing and the walk along the creek in the Autumn season is spectacular.

Adam - 7th May 2024

Beautiful house in a great location. The beds were more comfortable than mine at home!
