Description
LATITUDE 33 is a classic river weekender that simply demands relaxation from it's guests. What makes this place especially unique is floor to ceiling folding glass doors that span the complete length of the front facade, bringing the spectacular views & light right in to the lounge & bedrooms . The rear deck offers the perfect cool space when the heat is just too much!!!. Alternatively a hammock hangs on a private lower deck - yet another perfect spot to relax & take in the surrounds. The lounge & main bedroom both open onto the front verandah. Below the main level is a spacious day room that is reached via an external path, with floor to ceiling louvres capturing the afternoon breezes & beautiful river views .
The ridge opposite LATITUDE 33 is part of Marra Marra National Park & is framed by spectacular river views in each direction. The shared jetty has a pontoon suited to those with own boat or those wishing to hire a boat.

"Super cool place to stop revive and survive from the stressful life." Had a great time with beautiful views and great place to relax away from the world.

Other than the most incredible view, and the total seclusion, this place is truly outstanding. The pictures don't do it justice, all the furniture and fittings seemed higher spec than I expected and owners had thought of absolutely everything we could possibly have wanted to relax and enjoy their special place.

Can not recommend this place highly enough. If you want to do nothing but relax, this place is second to none.

The pictures do not do the property or the location justice. An ideal retreat to escape the hustle and bustle. I will definately be returning
