It features beautiful billabongs - one with an outlet to the river, wonderful wildlife and secluded bushland charm. Platypus are commonly seen in the early morning and around dusk.
The slow combustion log fire keeps the house lovely and warm during winter and the large covered deck is an ideal spot for summer outdoor dinning. Fully equipped kitchen and BBQ on the deck.
The house was largely built from locally made mudbricks and features timber slab detailing fashioned from trees felled and milled onsite.
Platypus, wallabies, echidnas, goannas, bats, waterfowl and many other creatures are commonly seen here.

Summary: We had a fantastic catch up with our children (some visiting from Canada) and their friends. They loved being close to the Mountain Bike Park, they could even ride home for lunch. We also had a dip in the river, did some platypus, possum and bird watching and enjoyed relaxing in the evening around the slow combustion fire. The comfy warm beds were a luxury, no wet tents to pack in the morning.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Water Gums. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed.We spent our time swimming, floating down the river on lilos and playing games in the cool of the house.We will definitely be booking again.

Summary: Watergums is a pleasant place to relax. Staying there felt like being in a treehouse, a very comfortable one, and this is a nice experience even if one does nothing else in the area. It is a great place to stay out in nature, with the sound of the river flowing, yet it is not too far from the town of Gloucester, which was handy for us to get supplies for dinner and also enjoy a pub lunch the next day. The only negative was the fact that linen was not included in the cost of the accommodation, but in our case we had one guest that was not able to join us and the hosts kindly refunded us for this at short notice, and the refund covered the cost of sheets. I would recommend this place for anyone that needs some time out from their hectic life, regardless of whether they want to explore the region or just sit back and relax.

Summary: Water Gums is a real slice of paradise, quiet and peaceful with lovely pockets of nature to explore around the property. Very comfortable and cosy no matter what the weather. The evidence of past floods is quite remarkable, seeing the debris caught so high in the trees. The river was flowing extremely rapidly so unsuitable for swimming, but listening to its sounds at night was very relaxing. No platypus seen on this trip as the billabong was very murky due to recent heavy rains, although we did spot quite a sizeable eel. Water Gums is a great way to detach from the hustle of the city, we only had a few days but feel re-juvenated by the tranquil break. Sylvia answered every enquiry promptly and we would definitely recommend Water Gums.

Summary: We had the most relaxing and lovely holiday at Bindera. the house was so well appointed with everything we could ever need, tucked away in the treetops, right next to the river. Having no TV was an added bonus - we played games from the game cupboard, read books, drank wine on the hysteria covered deck and just really enjoyed being away from it all and in nature. Thank you for such a perfect holiday!

Summary: Such a lovely, beautifully built home and in a great location. We loved seeing all the birds and the platypus, turtles, eels and fish could be spotted at dusk while quietly sitting on the hidden bench near the billabong.
