River Song is a studio cabin with three beds: A master king four-poster bed and a double bunk bed with a single on top in a separate nook separated by a sliding door. The designer kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, 2 ring electric stove, espresso machine, airfryer and a full fridge freezer. The sumptuous black bathroom has a luxurious double indoor shower and a large vanity with plenty of places to put things. In front of the cabin you will discover a beautiful fresh water river pool to swim in with 2 kayaks (only at River Song) and a sea biscuit. There is a BBQ on the deck but no outdoor kitchen.

Laundry facilities are located 250 meters away at the homestead and are available for free (always open). If I'm home I'll gladly pop your clothes in the dryer and return them to you once they're finished.

Mobile phone reception is limited, providing “ bars” on the Spark and Skinny networks, while other require a 5-minute drive or a walk up the farm track.

WiFi is available through a rural wireless network, and you will automatically connect upon your arrival, however since this location is perfect for unwinding in nature, you might prefer to disconnect and enjoy quality time with loved ones.
