The Grove Gunbower..

Due to the popularity of our other holiday rental property "The Ridge" we have renovated another house on our farm "The Grove".
The Grove is more spacious house with 3 bedrooms. With a larger living room and kitchen.
If you love peace, tranquillity and wildlife then this is the place for you. Abundant bird life and when walking along the banks of the Gunny Creek, you may spot a Wallaby or two..

We love people who bring their dogs and other pets on holidays with them. We do have a secure dog yard. Pets are allowed inside. But be sure to bring your own blankets/ bedding for them to lay on. Do not allow pets on furniture and bedding. And please vacuum dog hair from floor before leaving.

The Gunbower Creek is a great spot for fishing and in summer it is a popular place for swimming and water skiing.
Murray cod, yellow belly and carp are often caught in the creek. Boats can be launched at the nearby boat ramp, which is just a two minute walk from the cottage. It is currently difficult to fish from the bank of the creek due to the large amount of water lilies growing in the shallow water. But we have installed a fishing jetty nearby to make it easier for visitors without a boat, to fish. The jetty is a 5 minute walk up stream from The Grove
Kayaks are available for tenants' use at no extra charge. Life jackets are supplied.

NEW!!! Streaming services Stan and PrimeVideo available for free. Literally thousands of movies and TV shows to choose from.
Also have good range of DVDs if internet is out.

Free unlimited WiFi internet available.

The Gunbower Creek is lowered from mid May till mid August. A shallow stream flows in the creek at this time of the year. Therefore the mud banks are exposed and it is difficult to get to the water to fish. Fishing is possible ten minutes from Gunbower in the Murray River. Please contact us if you require further information.
In Gunbower there is a Takeaway Shop that also sells all basic needs, McGillivrays' Butcher Shop and the Gunny Pub for excellent meals .

Locality

The Grove is situated on the Gunbower Creek at Gunbower, Victoria, 40 kilometres west of Echuca.
From Echuca travel towards Kerang along the Murray Valley Highway. Just before entering Gunbower, turn right into Fox Island Road, then right into Richards Road. House entrance is 1.8 km on right amongst the very large gum trees.

Property

The Grove is situated on our cattle farm property of approximately 200 acres. We also have another holiday house on the farm (The Ridge is also listed on this website) which is about 300 metres further down Richards Road.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and an electric kettle.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Sean and family are beautiful people. The little touches like kitchen items, soaps and more linen than you can poke a stick at. Thank you for all you do, you are so loved and appreciated

We were in town for a friends wedding so staying only a few minutes from the reception was perfect. Very relaxing with all the comforts from home plus more. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing break.

We have stayed here quite a few times now we love it it’s a great break away from city life. The dogs love having a swim and running around which they don’t get to do when we’re home. This is one of our favorite places to visit and stay! Thanks Sean !

Our getaway at Gunbower
Was a great get away for us and our dogs. Plenty of land for pups to run around.plenty of beds to sleep in, had all the amenities there, wood for fire pit. Dogs area is decent but like our dogs they have anxiety if they can’t see us. If all fencing was chicken wired off would have been better as we had the cows come right up to our property which was nice to see but not for our dogs! Overall was a fabulous stay, would highly recommend it.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this country home. It was full of old world charm and character, and yet modern in the right places - great shower, comfortable beds, large TV with streaming, and an excellent indoor fireplace. We loved the beautiful and peaceful garden area around the house, the views of animals in paddocks, the abundant bird life and the proximity of the creek. The outdoor loo brought back some fun memories too. Thanks Sean and family for a terrific experience.

Perfect farm-stay experience!
We had hoped for a getaway experience where we could relax with our 2 dogs and experience a farm stay. What we got far exceeded our expectations! The yard was perfectly secure for our little Houdini, whilst being large enough for the soccer-mad staffy. The home was like stepping back into our grandparents’ home - with all the love and cleanliness and personal touches. But it had lovely modern surprises, including a smart TV and a huge updated bathroom! Our host had prepped the open fire to the point it just needed a lit match… with plenty of spare wood to see us through an ice age! The kitchen was well equipped, (loved the sandwich toaster!) But you can’t go past the famous steak meal at the Gunny pub! Worth every penny! Loved the town, loved the comfy bed, loved the views, loved the Gunbower people… will definitely be coming back! And will, most definitely want to stay here again!

Relaxtion Plus!
This is the second time that our family has stayed at one of the farm stay properties. We were not disappointed. The property was absolutely amazing boasting a fantastic location with serene water views peeking through the trees from the front yard, close proximity and a good walk or pushbike ride to the local cafe (a must visit for the best home - made pies, treats and great coffee), pub and roadhouse, a securely fenced yard for dogs and everything you really could ask for, including kayaks and a basketball ring. All basic cooking utensils / amenities are provided including drinking water. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, tucked away at the front of the house where you can spend hours overlooking the lush green garden and beautiful trees. Firewood is also provided for the indoor fireplace and there is also an outdoor fire pit and BBQ. There is a boat ramp within a few hundred metres where you can launch your fishing boat. A comfortable getaway to unwind and relax with your entire family including your fur babies. Sean was excellent with his communication.

Peace and tranquility.
We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing 10 days at "The Grove". This charming and quirky old farmhouse had all we needed for our stay. The "loo with a view" out the back was a blast from the past for us. Great bathroom with plenty of room and the best shower. We especially appreciated the secure back yard for our 2 little "fur kids" and they had a great time pretending to be farm dogs. We even caught some fish. Thank you to Sean and the Richards family for making their property available, especially for those of us who prefer to holiday with their dogs. Highly recommend to anyone needed a break from their busy life. Sean is very approachable and quick to reply to queries and we hope to return in the future.
