The Frames Luxury Accommodation, South Australia

Located where the river meets the outback in South Australia’s Riverland, The Frames offers the ultimate romantic getaway. Intimate and exclusive, these three self-contained sanctuaries – Pastiche, Montage, and Collage – feature private heated pools, state-of-the-art amenities and expansive river views.

Location

Perched high on a clifftop in Paringa near Renmark, The Frames gazes over the Murray River and the adjoining wetlands. Just a three-hour drive from Adelaide and 90 minutes from Mildura, this pristine natural environment is an oasis of orchards, vineyards and native bush, shaped by Australia’s longest river. The Riverland’s lush landscapes and abundant birdlife provide a spectacular backdrop to this ultra-luxury hideaway, while a rich array of food, wine and nature experiences brings the region vividly to life.

Accommodation

Three architecturally unique villas, each a masterpiece of modern design and indulgent comfort, pair meticulous detailing with an effortlessly luxurious feel. Inside, king-size electric beds, spa-like bathrooms and state-of-the-art kitchens are designed to spoil, while sparkling pools, spas and saunas sit beside outdoor kitchens and balconies with uninterrupted Murray River views. Pastiche boasts a sunken spa, sauna and river-facing bedroom, Collage accommodates two couples with two en-suite bedrooms and a six-person hydrotherapy spa, and Montage comes equipped with an outdoor freestanding bathtub for two, perfect for starlit nights. Each feels utterly private, entirely in its own world.

Dining

While there’s no formal restaurant, owners Cathy and Rick pride themselves in offering private, flexible dining tailored to each stay. Generous daily breakfast hampers are provided in-villa, along with a welcome platter of locally roasted coffee, regional artisanal goodies, and local beers and wines. For evening meals, choose from a private in-villa chef, gourmet dishes delivered ready to heat, or a BBQ hamper to sizzle in your open-air kitchen. All ingredients are seasonal, locally sourced and of the highest quality.

Facilities

Enhance your stay with a carefully curated range of signature experiences that showcase Riverland food, wine, culture and nature. Highlights range from a wetlands and wildlife cruise and a romantic sunset gondola cruise to tailored flavour safaris introducing you to local growers, brewers, winemakers and producers, and sampling their finest drops and seasonal fare along the way. Back at The Frames, refresh at the end of the day with an in-villa massage.
