The VisionThe Frames, Paringa
Bought the land in 2009 overlooking the river
With a view to retire????????
After a visit to Rawnsley Park we (the boss) decided,
“wouldn’t it be a great idea to spend lots of money and time building an
exclusive eco-sustainable luxury accommodation instead of retiring!!!!”
No accommodation like it in the Riverland or on the Murray River
A real need for 5 star accommodation in the region
The Riverland is Australia’s largest food bowl and largest wine producing region
Showcasing the Murray River and its wetland and wildlife assets
Built in 2014
Ultra world-class luxury accommodation in the Riverland
Architecturally designed to be exclusive and private
Market and world leading
Unique Australian outback experience
Setting the standard for self-contained accommodation
Complementing the accommodation we developed
tailored experiences for guests
Pure hands-on hosting for all guests
Experience is beyond expectations
Not to mention our famous our Chocolate Oranges
- Grown by Rick and handmade by Cathy
