    Hilltop Riverview Retreat was amazing! So big and spacious. The view over the bay was spectacular. Had everything we needed and was a good base to explore the local area and Goolwa and Victor Harbor.

    I so liked the peace and quiet there, also the fact that Julie was on hand and helpful but was not at all intrusive. Much appreciated.

Getaway for Two Escape the hustle and bustle in a charming, secluded studio — thoughtfully styled for comfort and relaxation. Nestled at the end of a long private driveway, this cosy retreat sits atop a gentle hill, offering sweeping views of the River Murray and stretching out towards Hindmarsh Island. Inside, rustic charm meets practical comfort. The open-plan living area puts everything you need at your fingertips, making it easy to unwind without breaking the bank. Whether you're looking for adventure or simply craving some quiet time to recharge, this weekend studio — located on the owner’s property — is the perfect hideaway. Off the main living space, you’ll find a spacious queen-sized bedroom complete with a writer’s nook — ideal for journaling, reading, or simply soaking in the stillness. There's also a separate sitting area with a second TV, perfect for a quiet movie night or some solo relaxation. The bathroom is roomy and well-appointed, featuring a full-size bath, shower, and toilet. All linen and towels are provided for your comfort. Step outside to a north-facing back area where you can take in sweeping rural views. Fire up the BBQ under the sheltered outdoor space, or just relax with a glass of wine and watch the colours shift as the sun goes down. Savour our magnificent sunsets, and let the tranquillity of Clayton Bay wash over you
I am a lifetime river rat of Clayton Bay, and my love for this beautiful area runs deep. My husband and I are lucky enough to live on the property, just a stone’s throw from the retreat, where we’re surrounded by the natural beauty and peaceful charm of the river. We spend much of our time out on the water, enjoying both our motor boat and sailing boat — it's our happy place. This community holds a special place in our hearts, and we feel truly connected to the land, the water, and the people here. I’m also a proud mother of adult children and a doting Grammy, which brings even more joy and meaning to our lives.
Clayton Bay is a delightful hidden gem! Nestled away, it offers a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Being a part of the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula, you can easily soak up the sun on beautiful beaches or indulge in delicious local eateries. The nearby wine regions promise delightful tastings, while a leisurely cruise on a paddle steamer or a charming ride on the Cockle Train at Goolwa, adds a touch of nostalgia and exploration. It is the ideal spot for those seeking both relaxation and activities, all wrapped in a serene atmosphere. We will leave some tourist information for you in the retreat.
