Luxury accommodation for two.

The River and The Owl is a unique hideaway, a world away from the hustle and bustle of life, but right in the action. The private path through the lush green garden leads you to your haven above the trees. It’s only when you reach the top and look out from your private balcony that you’ll realise you’re almost in the heart of Geelong.

Created just for you.

The River and The Owl is part of our property and an extension of our home - but is a fully private apartment with its own entrance, private balcony to enjoy the views across the Barwon River to Geelong city, and everything you need for a short getaway.

Head to nearby Highton Village or go across the river to Pakington Street for boutique shopping or to enjoy a meal at one of the many amazing venues our region offers.

Hit some golf balls at one (or all) of the three golf courses closeby, or go further afield to any of the numerous courses in the Geelong region.
