After 2 days working in Adelaide we decided to spend a weekend in SA before returning home, booking the boat house at Birks harbour as the centre for a Fleurieu peninsula break. After travelling through McLaren vale visiting wineries we were captivated by the boathouse and did not want to leave. The decor and atmosphere of the interior and the... More

We enjoyed our four days staying in the beautiful, spacious Garden Retreat. The weather & the setting were perfect for reading around the pool or watching the cricket - the most relaxing holiday in years. There was an amazing variety of birds & boats enjoying the waters of the Murray visible from our window through the pine trees. The house... More

We stayed in the boathouse and enjoyed every minute of it. The location is fantastic - beautiful views from so many of the windows. The decor is very tasteful and comfortable and made for an extremely relaxing and enjoyable weekend. I am aware that a previous reviewer felt that privacy was lacking but we really did not feel this was... More

We recently stayed at Birks Boathouse for a quick 2 night getaway. As soon as we opened the door we were impressed. It was a cold winters day and there was a roaring fire to greet us.

My husband and I stayed two nights at the lovely Birks Harbour Boathouse and our only wish was that it could have been longer. The beautifully decorated house was so cozy with all the comforts of home, even a pre-laid fire ready for a match. The lovely views from the private deck and out the large windows toward the marina.... More

Stayed here 2 nights in September 2010.The weather was a bit cool so made use of the cosy log fire but was not able to uase the deck but would love to come back in warmer weather to do that. I have always wanted to stay in a "waterfront" which it truly is now that the lower Murray has water.... More

The bay window in the master bedroom is unbeatable for an afternoons relaxing with a book and watching the... More
