Quality self-contained accommodation and camping along with protected river ecosystems, uninhibited night skies, award winning landare, broad-acre farming, native flora and fauna, local history heritage and culture.

"Very easy to relax at Riverside. There's an activity shed with history about the property and area, and some toys for kids of all ages. The accommodation was very clean and very comfortable. Definitely stay there again."

"Friendly and helpful staff, basic accommodation but the local flora and fauna were great and kept the kids amused. Good stop over on the way to Coral bay."

"A perfect place to stay on the journey from Perth to Coral Bay (and return). Very clean and comfortable with linen provided. Excellent value for money. We enjoyed the short walk to the river to stretch our legs after spending the day sitting in the car. "

"We enjoyed our very peaceful time at 'Riverside Sanctuary' very much. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the friendliness of the proprietors is something to be remembered. We thought the variety of the accommodation was really great - from backpackers to large groups, and the set-up in the woolshed was excellent. Overall we couldn't have asked for anything better, if you like a quiet spot."

"Our stay was short but wonderful. The accommodation was excellent - it was so nice to stay somewhere that was so respectable rather than a grotty roadside motel or pub. The value was brilliant, we had everything we needed and more. We arrived late, so there was no need to rumage the car for bits and pieces, because everything was available to us. We only met the hosts briefly, as it was a late arrival and early departure, but they were so accommodating and helpful. We would have loved to have spent more time there and got to know the owners, as it really felt like you knew these people. Our family wish we could have been in a position to stay there a couple of nights with all the different facilities they offered, from walks to being with the animals. 'The Riverside Sanctuary' is definitely a place to visit, and I am sure it would be great for 4WD groups also, as it has plenty of room, and it is ran by a couple who love nature as much as those type of groups."

"Nanna's House was perfect for 2 families. Our 6 children loved the experience. Comfortable beds, beautifully decorated rooms(loved the piano, TV, view from the back verandah and special welcome)and nice hot showers. We had a fantastic 1 night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The farmstay is so Unique as was the shearers shed, emus, goats and chickens. Unfortunately, we did not have time to explore the river walks. Very peaceful and relaxing. Excellent value for money (especially when on a tight budget)...worked out to be $15 per person per night. All linen provided. Service was extremely friendly and prompt with bookings and information via email and telephone. We voted Riverside sanctuary 5 stars. Thanks for a BRILLIANT experience.
Excellent website also.


Perfect overnight stay while travelling North to Coral Bay and Exmouth."
