Ferg’s Rest

There’s something about a family summer holiday by the river that feels timeless—where days stretch long and laughter echoes across the water. It’s a place that invites you to slow down and savour the simple joys, from early morning paddles that leave ripples in the glassy surface to sun-drenched afternoons spent sprawled on the deck. Here, adventure takes on many forms—whether it’s exploring hidden coves by kayak, teaching little ones to cast a fishing line, or simply floating lazily downstream without a care in the world. Evenings are for gathering—on the deck, around the fire, or beneath a starlit sky—sharing stories that will become part of your family’s river legacy. This is where barefoot traditions are born, where splashes and smiles go hand in hand, and where the best memories are made with the people who matter most.

Ferg’s Rest rises gently from the river’s edge, a sanctuary layered in nature’s embrace. From the water, the journey unfolds—first to the jetty deck, where sun-warmed wood meets the gentle lapping of the current, then onto the lush, open lawn that invites barefoot wanderings and quiet moments beneath the sky. Beyond, the property stands gracefully, its tones of soft beige and natural wood blending seamlessly with the landscape, while stairs ascend from the green expanse, guiding the way with quiet charm. It’s a place of effortless living, each layer offering its own invitation—to gather, to explore, to simply be. The gentle rustle of leaves, the golden glow of late afternoon light, and the echo of happy voices carried across the water—Ferg’s Rest is more than just a retreat; it’s a canvas for memory-making, where summers unfold in long, lazy days and every season brings a new reason to return.

Four bedrooms span the property – the first with one queen and one single bed, the second with a queen bed, and the third becomes a slumber party for children with two single bunk beds, and an additional three quarter bed. The main bedroom has a extra-length king-sized bed, with en-suite invites lazy afternoon naps, it’s door leading to the patio wide-open, inviting the gentle summer breeze.

Many a golden afternoon will be spent at Ferg’s Rest—casting lines from the jetty with eager little hands, while mom reclines on a sunbed, the pages of her book fluttering in the breeze. As the sun melts into the horizon, there’s no finer spot than the Kol-Kol hot tub, a sundowner in hand, as laughter drifts across the water. The ascent to the patio is a familiar ritual, the gentle pitter-patter of children racing across the lawn, and the comforting crackle of the fire setting the evening aglow. With a table set for merriment, stories unfold over generous helpings of food, the hum of togetherness filling the air. Every day offers a new delight—be it the joy of simple pleasures or the thrill of discovering something anew. And when it’s time to leave, a part of you will linger behind, nestled among the reeds and ripples, waiting patiently for your return.
