The innovative design incorporates open living from front to rear, with floor-length windows and no side rails to obscure the magnificent river views. Café doors at the rear create an indoor-outdoor flow to the spacious outdoor deck, which has an inset six-person spa and electric roll back roof that slides away to reveal the stars or winter sunlight. Enjoy water activities such as swimming, fishing or just relaxing on the deck. Other activities can be arranged by prior arrangement, as well as transfers from Adelaide and to the North Star and Prairie Hotels (Flinders Ranges), as well as personalised day tours to the Barossa and Adelaide Hills
