Self-contained apartment

The Pike River Villas are being established on 15 acres of riverfront at the gateway of the Riverland and in the proposed National Tourism Landscape region of South Australia. With direct access to the Pike and offering majestic views of both the Murray and Pike Rivers, our villas provide the perfect place to hide away or to spend time exploring our magnificent region by water, road or air.

With access to boutique wineries, national parks, quality golf courses and a diverse range of self-guided or guided tourism experiences, you will have the opportunity to choose how active your stay is and perhaps leave more to explore on your next visit. Pike River is your ideal luxury base and within a short drive of all major Riverland towns.

Pike River has succeeded in creating luxury accommodation within an environmentally-friendly and sustainable site. Pike River delivers some Australian firsts... come and be a part of a very special place.

Things to see and do

The Riverland is an amazing area. At first glance you are taken in by the peace and tranquillity of the magnificent river but when you look a little closer you find that there is just so much to see and do, and more is happening all the time...

Just outside your front door you have direct access to the Pike River where you can paddle for a short while in a kayak or spend a half or full day in your exclusive hobie kayak exploring the magnificent river system.

Or book in for a Pike River backwater tour aboard the purpose built photographic dinghy.

On site you can spend your day at the Pike River frontage, watching the birdlife drift in and out, take a stroll to see the site's own 'power supply' or visit a very special tree....

You can also take a stroll up Pike Creek Rd (about a 1.2km walk) to visit Yvonne at 'Coongalena Cottage' Lyrup's own art studio(by appointment) wandering past the vines as they meander along the road.

Days can be spent on site, the choice is yours.
