Pike River Luxury Villas: Ron puts up his feet in the Riverland region of South Australia

Spend time in the Riverland and you'll discover its many hidden gems, like the Pike River near Lyrup, about 260 kms from Adelaide.

Here, you'll find Stone Cottage, the first of three Pike River Luxury Villas which owners Andrew and Bronwyn Caire have planned for the stunning view. When completed, the Ibis and Redgum Villas will offer similar indulgence with each focusing on a unique aspect of the Riverland experience. This one makes the most of the abundant stonework to found in the region… and its sense of space.

Andrew Caire, 'Pike River Luxury Villas': "It's really exciting to sit back at night time, turn all the lights off and just see the night sky. You can soak it all up, just relax and really feel like you are part of the outside as well as the inside. The emphasis in this region just how much sun we get - the Riverland gets more sun than the Gold Coast."

The interior design of the Villas capitalises on that abundant sunlight with the light and airy feel a feature of the state-of-the-art holiday retreat. From the balcony there's an overwhelming sense of space as you take in the view of the Pike River and its surrounding flood plain.

Andrew Caire, 'Pike River Luxury Villas': "Having the access to the river gives people the opportunity to kayak with Riverland Leisure Canoes or to get out themselves.. We have kayaks here for people to use."

The beauty for guests is that this really is a guilt free indulgence thanks to the environmentally sensitive approach.

The Pike River Luxury Villas take accommodation options in the Riverland to another level in an eco-friendly way. Electricity is supplied by solar panels which line the cliff-tops above.

Andrew Caire, 'Pike River Luxury Villas': "We have 495 solar panels. We're only allowed 495 to get to the 30 kilowatt system that is allowed. It was the first and largest privately owned sun farm in Australia."

The Pike River Luxury Villas are located off Pike Creek Road about 7 kms from Lyrup. To book contact Andrew Caire on 0428 831 045. If you have any further questions please email info@postcards-sa.com.au
