✨ When visitors travel from Melbourne and say this… you know you’re doing something special. ✨

Today we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming this wonderful family from Melbourne to the Loxton Historical Village, and their feedback genuinely made our day:

“This is the best historical village we have seen. Great collection, staff were great.”

Thank you for visiting, and for taking the time to share such kind words. We hope the Riverland has left a lasting impression and that we’ll see you again one day .
