An introduction to the Coorong
“River’s End” – the book – written by Jamie’s grandmother
River’s End Retreat is a completely remodeled, one of a kind, small group luxury historical accommodation destination located near Adelaide, South Australia.
Available for exclusive use by families, friends and colleagues – whatever the occasion.
River’s End Retreat is located in the historic town of Goolwa, South Australia – about an hour’s drive south of Adelaide … on the coast side of the Adelaide Hills and magnificent McLaren Vale wine country.
The Retreat property offers spectacular views of Hindmarsh Island and the magnificent Murray River, and is perfectly accessible to many of the South Coast’s delicious beaches, wineries and restaurants.
Jamie & Trudy Bishop are the third generation resident owners behind the design and 2 year painstaking redevelopment of River’s End Retreat complex… carefully integrating today’s technology and comforts into Younghusband’s original 1854 cottage.
River’s End Retreat is officially open for business from May 2019.
