Where is Riverview Rise Retreats located?

An hour from Adelaide, then a seven-minute ferry across the Murray

How far is Riverview Rise Retreats from Adelaide? Riverview Rise Retreats is an hour from Adelaide, about 80 km east of the CBD, on the Murray River escarpment at Cowirra, across the water from the riverside town of Mannum. The last step is the free Mannum vehicle ferry, two ferries work the crossing, one of them 24 hours a day, and the ride takes about seven minutes. Once across, turn left and continue two kilometres up Hunter Road. The drive is not only convenient, it is part of the experience: as you leave the city behind you pass through rolling hills, charming farmland, and glimpses of the Murray.
