So nice to meet you! Do you come here often?

A quiet shift as the river slows — sunlight flickering through leaves, the scent of woodsmoke in the air.
Our river retreats rise quietly above the banks, wrapped in trees and open to the bush. Elevated for privacy, each one offers a front row seat to the Murray River, a bath facing the wild, and a wood-fired tub under open sky.
This is where the river breathes and the land listens. A place to watch the water drift — and feel yourself drift with it.
Natural textures and expansive windows blur the distinction between inside and out. There’s a fan overhead, a breeze through the trees, and just enough light filtering through to make the moment feel golden.
The hours drift, unhurried and unbothered. Maybe you’ll read, maybe you’ll nap, maybe you’ll watch the shadows dance across the deck and call that enough. Out here, even doing nothing feels like a full day well spent.
By evening, the bush begins to quiet out on the deck, and the time to draw your gaze up to the Milky Way draped across the sky has arrived.
It’s a space that leans into romance - slow mornings, shared silence, the luxury of time unfolding gently. But it welcomes more, sleeping four and holding whatever version of togetherness you bring.
This isn’t a retreat that boasts. It doesn’t need to. It wraps you in quiet, lifts you into the treetops, and reminds you how it feels to do absolutely nothing - beautifully.
Our vision has unfolded across 240 acres, taking shape like a dream beneath the endless sky. We opened our doors on December 15, 2025. See you soon!
Yes, indeed. We cherish our four-legged friends and have carved out special corners just for them: pet-friendly sites and villas, where tails wag beneath the sun. Elsewhere, we protect quiet spaces so every guest finds their perfect peace. All pets must be listed at time of booking. If you are unable to add your pet, unfortunately all of our pet-friendly accommodation has already been booked.
Absolutely. With over 240 acres to roam, including 5km of trails and 2km along the shimmering Murray, your pedals will carry you through stories written in wind and light. We do, however, have strict rules regarding E-bikes and E-scooters and enforce a 10km/h limit.
Visitors are always welcome to share your river story, whether to say hello or join you at Kokomo. For those who wish to splash in the pool or wander the grounds, a Swim Club Day Pass from reception unlocks the fun. Wristbands in hand, all guests can embrace the magic safely.
A way of life as irresistible as the river’s call - most arrive to play, but the lucky ones come to stay. Dive deeper into this exclusive lifestyle opportunity and discover what makes Trentham Waters more than a place, but a belonging.
At certain seasons, the glow of firelight returns. We supply and install all fire pits with no external fire pits permitted. Fire wood is available at Reception - please let the natural beauty lie untouched by foraging. Gather, share stories, and let the flames warm your night.
We welcome you from 2pm for villas and river retreats, and from noon for powered caravan sites. Goodbyes come too soon - departure is by 10am - but if your heart lingers, ask Reception about late checkout options to stretch the moment a little longer.
Yes, a little treasure trove awaits at Reception - essentials, keepsakes, and local delights to enhance your stay or remind you of your river story. And just nearby, our friends at Tasco Roadhouse stand ready for fuel and any extras you might need.
Bring your boat to our private jetties and ramp, reserved just for you - no queues, no chaos, only the ease of river adventures. We offer a coin-operated wash bay and storage options to keep your gear safe. Several cabins also have parking spaces sized for everything from a small tinnie to a triaxle wake boat. Just let us know your needs when booking.
At 10pm, the world softens, and the gentle hush of the river takes over. We ask all guests to honour this quiet time so every soul can rest beneath the stars.
