Places to Stay

Ever thought of the Australian outback as being ultra luxurious? At The Frames in South Australia’s Riverland region, it is! Here, you'll discover stunning accommodation overlooking the magnificent Murray River. The outback is just at your fingertips. Designed for discerning couples, The Frames are three exclusive and private retreats setting the standard for Luxury accommodation in the region.

Located in Paringa, South Australia, right above the Murray River and 5 minutes from Renmark. Cruise the famous river on the fully renovated 100-year-old Gondola, or enjoy a Wetland & Wildlife Safari where you'll be greeted with spectacular scenery and iconic Australian animals. If food is your thing, then indulge your taste buds on one of their Flavour Safari’s showcasing the Riverland’s superb local produce.

After a safari on the river soaking in the abundant wildlife, couples can sit on their own private balcony watching the majestic sunsets over the Murray, sipping on their favourite champagne, while sampling a beautiful platter of local produce. Have a relaxing dip in your private pool (each retreat boasts one!) and dine in and enjoy romantic nights with your own chef to cook a special meal for you.  The team genuinely pride themselves on ensuring those special occasion getaways are, indeed, special. The attention to detail is second to none - starting with the delicious home-grown oranges dipped in chocolate offered as a welcome and continuing throughout your entire stay.

The three retreats at The Frames are exclusive and completely private, catering for couples with Montage and Pastiche designed as one bedroom hideaways and Collage offering two bedrooms. Each one has its own private pool, deck, therapy spa, and jacuzzi. They all provide those unique luxuries couples seek for a romantic getaway, including the highest quality fit-outs and luxurious en-suites.

Each of the retreats is perfect for couples, so you really can’t go wrong! Regardless of which one you choose, you'll wake to welcome the day with views over the river and the sounds of local birdlife. Go for a morning dip and enjoy a locally roasted coffee on your lounge chair by the pool. A fully catered fridge with the highest quality breakfast produce awaits so you are well and truly sustained and ready to enjoy another day exploring the magnificent Riverland.

Dining and leisure
All three retreats are self-contained allowing couples the choice of choosing from a selection of the most beautiful local produce to cook themselves or organising for the in-house chef to do the cooking for them. Either way, couples can indulge in the best flavours the Riverland has to offer. Within a short distance from The Frames are opportunities to sample the World’s Best Brandy at Angoves, St Agnes or participate in a gin flight at 23rd Street Distillery. The Riverland is home to Australia’s largest Almond crops and Almond Co. offer tours through their facility. Plus, the Woolshed Brewery offer you the chance to sip on a locally brewed ale on the banks of the Murray River - now there’s one for the bucket-list!

The Frames offers an in-house massage service, and this can be organised at any time via the hosts. Oh did we mention that each retreat has its own private pool, therapy spa and infra-red Jacuzzi? Just the tonic for the ultimate relaxation.
