Highlights

The Retreat — Your private slice of outback luxury in the heart of South Australia’s Riverland region

Romance abounds in your luxurious Collage Retreat. Beaming with architectural splendour and first-class features, this two-bedroom, two-ensuite retreat is idyllic for a double couple’s getaway or those seeking ample space to relax and unwind. From the luxurious private outdoor lap pool — heated to ensure maximum year-round enjoyment — to the ultra-luxe, indoor six-seater hydrotherapy spa with Smart TV, this exclusive sanctuary offers everything you need and more for an indulgent South Australian escape.

Whip up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen or sizzle a gourmet lunch on the state-of-the-art BBQ. Pop a bottle of wine and lounge in the spacious living area or dine on your private balcony while taking in sweeping sunset vistas across the Murray River. Looking for added relaxation? Enhance your wellness with a massage treatment in the comfort of your villa and let stress melt away at the hands of The Frames’ expert therapists (additional cost).

There’s no need to leave the privacy of your romantic sanctuary; but if you do, there’s plenty to discover in the Riverland region. Visit the 19th-century township of Renmark and its breathtaking natural surrounds. Find yourself in the heart of a landscape surrounded by national parks and dotted with vineyards, breweries and gourmet providores waiting to be explored. Hop in a canoe and paddle through the Woolenook Wetlands or go behind the scenes of the Riverland’s ecosystem with an Indigenous ranger on an inspiring cultural tour.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Daily breakfast provisions, e-bike hire, Twenty Third Street distillery tour and more

Cook up a storm in your gourmet kitchen, with daily breakfast provisions included as part of your escape. Once you’ve fuelled up, plan Riverland adventures with complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout your stay.

Swap four wheels for two and explore the surrounding landscape without breaking a sweat thanks to daily e-bike hire. En route to your next destination, enjoy an included beer-tasting paddle to share at Woolshed Brewery.

A complimentary tour awaits at Twenty Third Street distillery, a local institution responsible for an impressive selection of award-winning gin, vodka and more, all perfected with flavours inspired by local ingredients. Housed in a historic winery, the distillery is home to the barrel hall, where an Australian icon, Black Bottle brandy, is held for ageing. Visit the hall and taste your way through a variety of signature tipples or perhaps create your own blend with an optional gin masterclass (additional cost).

Romantic Sunset Cruise Upgrade: Sit back and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Murray River on a romantic sunset cruise with your choice of sparkling, red or white wine, or beer, and a delicious cheese platter. Watch the sun melt into the landscape as you glide through nature in The Frames’ beautifully restored, 100-year-old classic wooden gondola, surrounded by abundant wildlife and accompanied by a flavoursome feast of chilled bubbles and regional cheese.

Luxe All-Inclusive Upgrade: Pamper your palate with the very best of the Riverland’s regional produce as you indulge in a delicious all-inclusive in-villa dining experience (daily breakfast, lunch and dinner). On one night of your stay, succumb to the talents of The Frames’ exceptional chefs with a private chef-prepared three-course dinner. Watch as your personal chef whips up an incredible meal in your kitchen – an unforgettable experience.

The rest of your meals will be delivered pre-prepared to your villa, where you can heat them up and enjoy in the comfort of your retreat. This includes a one-time Supreme BBQ pack with your choice of meats, seafood and sides. Options include Murray River cod in red miso and ginger, mini beef filet mignons, BBQ corn, and tomato and halloumi kebabs.

Accompany each feast with a drink or two of your choice from the open minibar, replenished daily and filled with Twenty Third Street spirits, Angove St Agnes Brandy, white and red wine, champagne, vodka mixers and soft drinks. Or, save it for after-dinner sunset celebrations on your private balcony, while you take in sweeping Murray River views.

Luxe all-inclusive packages also include the sunset cruise and a wetlands safari tour. Led by an expert guide in a comfortable customised dinghy, encounter the spectacular and diverse creatures that call this beautiful region home. Traverse the creeks and wetlands of the Murray River, and enjoy an included morning tea, gourmet lunch and refreshments on this six-hour expedition through one of South Australia’s most picturesque landscapes.

All-inclusive longer-stay bonus: Extend your all-inclusive upgrade to 3+ nights to enjoy your choice of one of two exclusive tours: the five-hour Calperum Station eco-cultural tour or the exclusive six-hour Riverland flavour safari. Take a walk through nature guided by ecologists and Indigenous rangers on the Calperum Station tour, where you’ll visit Lake Woolpolool, Lake Merreti and the surrounding area, filled with unique fauna and bird species. This experience also includes homemade local saltbush damper with quandong jam for morning tea, and lunch with drinks served by Ral Ral Creek.

Or, you could choose to take your tastebuds on a wild journey as you savour the rich flavours of the Riverland region, labelled the ‘food bowl of South Australia’. The Riverland flavour safari invites you to meet the growers, brewers, winemakers and producers the region is renowned for as you’re escorted in an air-conditioned, chauffer-driven car. Experience the local pride and hospitality over six hours, with lunch served at one of the establishments.

Stays of 4+ nights will also receive a gourmet lunch hamper for two, once per stay, and an additional three-course, private chef-prepared dinner.

Could not fault this place, amazing on every level. The only possible downside is the distance away from the other coastal resorts. That said it was pretty incredible to see first hand the river and crops being produced.

This was our second visit and won’t be our last. Another couple joined us and we shared the largest 2 bedroom 2 bathroom retreat. Elegant, well appointed accommodations with excellent quality furniture and appliances. Breakfast provisions are generous and delicious. Lots of local touches and thoughtful additions to enhance your stay and connect you to the place. Excursions are fun, informative and fully-catered with the same attention to detail

Thank you so much for a truly special couple of nights at The Frames. The whole experience was just perfect. All of our communication with David was so lovely, fun and friendly, and we really, really appreciated being able to check in early! There are no words for the accommodation… it was the perfect place for us to stay and unwind after a hectic period on the road. We loved the pool, spa, sauna, and massage bed, and we also loved just sitting on the balcony taking in the relaxing view. And the food, wine and chocolate treats were delicious! We really enjoyed the Wildlife and Wetland tour – the scenery was great, the meal and setting were amazing, and we especially loved chatting with Tony, Rob and Rick. And then thank you so much for allowing us late check out… which made Sunday morning very relaxed.

The Frames is a genius creation of luxurious accommodations. Rick and Cathy have built something truly spectacular. My husband and I traveled from the US and stayed throughout Australia for 3 weeks, ending our trip with a 3 night stay at the "Montage" lodge in The Frames. It was, by far, the nicest place we visited. It included a private, heated pool, hot tub, infrared sauna, and a fully stocked house and kitchen, all for an unbeatable price. The best part, however, was the view from the balcony that overlooked the Murray River. You feel like you are looking through a picture frame with the most picturesque view of the Riverlands. A big reason for our trip was bird watching. Right from our balcony we were able to comfortably observe many beautiful species of wildlife, and watch stunning sunsets all while enjoying great wine and the WORLD'S BEST TANGELO JUICE!! Seriously, the juice is fresh pressed everyday from Rick and Cathy's amazing organic farm, and I've never tasted anything better in my life. Beyond the actual accommodation, Ricky and Cathy were so kind and down to earth. As lifelong locals, they were able to share the great history and ecology of the region and take us on tours of the river and surrounding area with delicious prepared lunches. Their staff were phenomenal and on top of any need or want. If I had to choose between the nicest place in Napa Valley or The Frames in Australia's fruit and wine region, I will always choose Rick and Cathy's fabulous place. It has a small town vibe, it's quiet and calm. The absolute perfect retreat.
