You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury couples' retreat beside the beautiful Barwon River.

A luxury private apartment for two, with its own balcony overlooking the greenery of the beautiful Barwon River valley.
Pour yourselves a glass of wine, relax outdoors or in front of the fireplace, then head off to the bliss of an amazing king sized bed that will have you sleeping like never before.
If you can tear yourselves away from the vintage ambiance of The River and The Owl, there's a shady, refreshing river track just a few meters away that winds its way along the edge of the Barwon.
And if you need to go further afield there's some brilliant boutique shopping and plenty of cafes and eateries just a kilometer away at Highton Village. Or head out for the day and discover all that the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula has to offer.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. Conveniences include a microwave and an iron/ironing board.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Would recommend The River and The Owl without any hesitation, beautiful and peaceful surroundings and very safe for anyone travelling alone as I was. Very well appointed apartment with eclectic furnishings, would have liked to be able to stay longer

Simply beautiful

The apartment is very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The attention to detail is outstanding. Enjoyed discovering all the large and small details that clearly show a lot of attention without being too much. Great place for couples.

The property is ideally set-up for a couple looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. It was roomy, but cosy and included all the conveniences you need to either dine in or dine out. It is very close to the Barwon River with easy access to the walking track. Overall, an excellent location for a couple to have a great holiday

Tranquil hideaway

Set in beautiful gardens the apartment was clean and beautifully presented. Perfect for what we were looking for set in a quiet court right across the road from the Barron river and great walking tracks. The apartment was a home away from home and the bed was very comfortable . Jennifer was a great host and was very responsive as we booked the day before we travelled. Her attention to detail and amenities provided exceeded our expectations. Would love to return in the near future.

Welcoming and comfortable

We had a lovely stay. It was a home away from home. The bed is incredibly comfortable. Nice touches with muesli, marmalade and wine made us feel welcome.

Luxurious and cozy

Definitely one of the best places we’ve stayed - the photos are great but still don’t do this place justice, it’s so much better in person. Beautifully designed and carefully put together apartment. Private with a great view of the Highton treetops. We really appreciated that the owners left a great red wine for us to start our weekend break with, and there was plenty of supplies like coffee and muesli in the kitchen Great location, only 10minutes from the centre of Geelong Would stay again and will recommend to others Thanks for the great stay!!! 😀
