Superb location in excellent cottage
This is truly a perfect getaway in an historic cottage, within a stone's throw to the river. It is a unique location, in a comfortable and renovated old cottage. Words that come to mind are beautiful, secluded, private, quiet. The hosts were excellent, with a real desire to make our stay a unique experience.

Quiet, Comfort and enjoyable
We loved that the host left some local produce to welcome us. The blending of old style with some essential mod-cons was well done. We liked that the place was warm and inviting when we arrived. The spot is so peaceful and near Banrock Station and other Riverland attractions. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A delight!
Our stay in Wigley Retreat was too short! It provided the respite we so needed after a busy and challenging time and allowed us to completely turn off. Clean, cosy, beautifully provisioned and we loved sitting on the veranda watching the birds!

Which would of been very nice as that’s one of the reasons I booked the cottage Apart from that we loved the spot, host was super nice, bacon and eggs in the fridge along with a fresh home made loaf of bread Highly recommend

What a lovely piece of "Australiana." The thick walls and tin roof - and then the river which was the icing on top. Hubby couldn't resist throwing a line into the river - just for fun. At times the river was like glass. Perfection!

Self imposed Silent Retreat
I loved this place. The ease of finding Wigley Retreat was great. The home which was steeped in history was the perfect place to regroup my inner self. I loved the front door tread that has worn down from centuries of people walking in and out. The bed was noted in the guest book many times about how comfortable it was, i emphatically agree. The bed was soft and warm and enveloped when you laid down. I cannot explain how a simple pleasure of this bed gave me such peace. The small touches of warm welcoming by Graham & Elsbeth were noticed and appreciated very much. I highly highly recommend 'Wigley retreat' as a solitude haven for those seeking a chance to reconnect. Thank you Graham & Elsbeth for sharing this gem. Jo
