Riverfront seclusion
Water Gums is about 10 minutes from the village of Barrington and the house is just metres from the Barrington River. It features beautiful billabongs - one with an outlet to the river, wonderful wildlife and secluded bushland charm.

Abundant wildlife:
Platypus, wallabies, echidnas, goannas, bats, waterfowl and many other creatures are commonly seen here.

Water Gums is a bird-watcher's paradise, with the pre-dawn chorus an amazing daily treat. Nestled among the treetops the house looks out into the branches and greenery, with glimpses of the billabong and river in between the dense branches. It's also a getaway from technology. No phone - not even mobile reception at the house. No television and no DVD player supplied. Just you, your companions and the natural surrounds.
