- Waking up to Murray River views and vineyard rows from a 5 bedroom Echuca holiday home is a genuinely rare experience — Cape Horn Villa delivers this across both levels
- The heated large indoor spa room is a standout feature for a regional Victoria holiday house
- The cellar door is steps from the front door — wine tastings, award-winning wines to purchase and wood-fired pizzas on weekends make the on-site experience self-contained and memorable
- All five bedrooms are split kings — the most flexible sleeping configuration available in any 5 bedroom Murray River holiday home, ideal for mixed groups and families
- With Murray River frontage, guests can arrive by boat and keep a vessel on the water for the duration of the stay
-The open fireplace in the lounge and the scale of the open-plan living areas give the property a grand, country house feel that photographs consistently cannot fully capture
- 15 minutes from Echuca's Port, paddle steamers, restaurants and shops — close enough to explore, far enough to feel like a genuine rural escape
Living, Dining & Entertaining:
The open-plan lounge and dining areas form the heart of Cape Horn Villa, with extensive Murray River and vineyard views from the main living space and a fireplace that anchors the room in the cooler months.
The lounge is generously furnished with comfortable couches, a smart television with Foxtel, and the kind of scale that guest Simon described as "grand" — a space designed for extended family gatherings and groups of friends who want to be together without feeling on top of each other. The well-equipped kitchen handles self-catering for up to 13 guests with a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher and a full complement of cookware, crockery and glassware.
The large heated indoor spa room with vineyard views is the property's most talked-about feature — independently confirmed in multiple guest reviews as a particular favourite. The furnished deck with BBQ provides an outdoor entertaining option with the vineyard and river as the backdrop, and on most weekends and during school holidays, wood-fired pizzas and platters are available at the on-site cellar door.

Outdoor Living & Location
The furnished deck with BBQ overlooks the vineyard and Murray River, perfectly positioned for long lunches, evening meals and watching the river activity below. The Murray River is accessible directly from the property — guests can arrive by boat and moor on site, making Cape Horn Villa one of the few 5 bedroom Echuca holiday homes with genuine on-water access.
The working vineyard surrounds the property on all sides, and the cellar door with free wine tastings, wood-fired pizzas and weekend platters makes the grounds themselves a destination.
Cape Horn Villa is located at Stewarts Bridge Road — 15 minutes from Echuca via a scenic rural drive, with the last stretch on a dirt road that signals the arrival of something genuinely off the beaten track. Echuca's historic Port, paddle steamer cruises, restaurants and the Moama region are all within easy reach, and the property's courtesy bus is available for groups on request. The Luxury Holidays concierge team is on hand to help plan the stay.
