Beautiful lies

Dear Peter and Padma Thank you for sharing both your recreational and personal space with us. This was truly the "perfect holiday" in a well-kept secret paradise. We leave with many memories that will need to be topped up from time to time, so we look forward to returning. The week here has made us consider how much the pace of life dictates both our mental and physical well-being. Time to relax, chat, read, row and sleep have given us a new energy. Thanks again for all your hospitality and for Padma's fantastic rations. Max and Sharron, Wanniassa, Canberra Dear Peter, Padma, Malty & Rover Thanks for letting us share your beautiful Riverbend. We have had a fabulous time & Lizzy and Darcy have had so much fun swimming (for the first time), canoeing, chasing bunnies, and hanging out with Malty & Rover. Thanks also for your endless generosity & hospitality. It has made us all feel right at home. All the very best for the year ahead. Many thanks Andrew, Jo, Lizzy & Darcy Surry Hills, Sydney P.S. Lizzy & Darcy give Riverbend 6 paws!!! Padma & Peter, Thanks again for yet another wonderful stay. Will definitely be back, & next time for at least 2 weeks. Joy & Tim, Orange Dear Peter and Padma, What a beautiful place to spend our 28th anniversary - everything you need and nothing you don't need! Your generosity and hospitality was very much appreciated. As you give to others may you continue to be blessed in return. With gratitude and heartfelt thanks Ian and Jill Dear Peter & Padma, Don't let them drag us back to Sydney!!! You are two wonderful people who have gone to extensive trouble to make sure we have had a tremendous holiday. As if this beautiful piece of the world wasn't enough, you have provided us with everything we could possibly need & so much more. We will miss the tranquility more than we can say. It has also been wonderful to just sit & watch the wildlife (sorry, we couldn't resist giving Lulu a few grapes). Thankyou for your wonderful hospitality & for allowing us to experience "Riverbend". We will be raving about it to all our friends & family. Kind regards Michael & Yvonne Lane Cove Dear Peter & Padma Once again a lovely restful stay but all too short. One day, who knows, we might get the time to stay 2 weeks. All the best for your own travels which you are about to embark on. Take care. Cheers, Jan & Dick Clontarf Beach, Qld. Dear Padma & Peter, We (as before) had a lovely time. It's a beautiful spot. The dogs love the river. We loved the passionfruit butter. Thankyou for a lovely stay. You're the best hosts we've ever had! We'll see you again very soon. Tim & Joy Spring Hill (via Orange NSW) Dear Padma and Peter Thank you for a very special 'impromptu' weekend allowing us to share time in your lovely home with two very warm and thoughtful people. God bless you always. Robert and Lesley Pinelodge Pastoral Goulburn NSW Dearest Padma & Peter, It may have been 6 months between stays but the warm hospitality & serenity of Riverbend remains. This time we were able to share the wonders of the river with Lachlan (5 yrs) and perhaps a few lessons in patience. We bid you au revoir until the next time not sad but relaxed & peaceful for the moment in time at Riverbend. Colette Paddy & Lachlan Dear Peter & Padma Thank you for a very restful stay. Your warmth and hospitality was greatly appreciated. Grant loved the jetty (although it was I who caught the fish) and I loved swimming at your very private beach. Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to the terrible fires in Canberra - back to work I'm afraid! Best wishes to you both Rebecca and Grant Schults, Gundaroo NSW Dear Peter and Padma Thankyou for opening your private piece of nature to us. We've had a lovely, quiet and relaxing weekend - just what we needed. Your hideaway is a wonderful alternative to a sterile hotel room. Warm regards Heather and James Waverton, NSW
