Spring is here a great time for fishing and messing about on the river

Dorado ( the champ)

Vagre

If you love fishing or just simply watching  the world go by now is a great time to be in Waterside Cottage as we were last week. It was great to get away from the craziness of Buenos Aires  and relax in the calm of Waterside Cottage. Sunny days, warm evenings and plenty of fish to catch and cook to eat over a hot barbie. This time we caught dorado  and boga plus I managed to catch a  the old lady of the water  a  strange name but elegant fish- that was a first for me. Can't wait to  get back there . The house is available to rent just email us on watersideuruguay@gmail.com

The Fish are Coming - Love Uruguay

More and more boats are now coming to Cufre 

Champion !!

Just back from a lovely break in Waterside Cottage Uruguay  . Five days of peace walking on the  beach and beating Nita ( she is  still smarting!)  in the Waterside Cottage fishing championship . Such a nice break didn't want to leave but all good things have to come to an end but a trip back will be in the  not to distant future  for  sure . The cottage seems to be getting more popular as we have renters coming on some  weekends now to enjoy life on a Uruguay River. Not five star facilities  but its a five star  break  for me for sure cant get enough of it

As All Hell Hits The Fan in Argentina Uruguay Ducks Out !!

Just shows you the world could be ending but if one doesn't have a TV continually tuned into the news (the say its bad for you anyhow) you could miss it. For instance while fishing on the banks of Waterside Cottage these past few days the Argentina (who cares what the world thinks!) Government decided to seize the largest company in the country the petroleum conglomerate YPF due to they say lack of investment. Ok I know I know its not the end of the world but its huge news here. Who knows the real story behind the coup but one thing is for sure it certainly has taken the pressure of the news of the gradual sinking of the Argentina peso which makes its weary route slowly downwards in spite of the Governments attempts to prop it up. Course all who own USA$ dollars in Argentina are laughing all the way to the bank as the country gets a little bit cheaper for them when they change their money on the black market - win some lose some eh. Comments about the coup from Uruguay were quite rightly the sitting on the fence type " we don't intend to get involved in another countries affairs" was one comments from a top Uruguayan politician - quite right too cos insanity could be catching best to duck out and enjoy the fishing.
The fishing is slow this time but the weather is fabulous so who cares

Water Side Cottage Uruguay:

Welcome to this charming house!

Location

Waterside Cottage (La Casa de la Boca del Cufre) is located in the small resort of Boca del Cufre, about 100 kilometers from Colonia. 

This charming house is situated right on the estuary of the Rio Cufre which means you can fish virtually from the house.  From the terrace you can sit and enjoy a wonderful view of the river and the beaches beyond. 

Boca del Cufre is a small charming resort which has some fantastic white sandy beaches located just a minutes from the house. 

 



















The House

Inside the house there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen plus a living room with a welcoming fireplace.


Outside there is a covered area for eating outside, a toilet with shower, a bar-b-que and roof terrace. There are stairs leading down to the river where you can sit and enjoy the peace and quiet of the location and watch a spectacular sunset over the sea and beaches beyond.

The house sleeps up to six adults on one double bed, two single beds and a double futon in the living room.  (there are also spare mattresses for children if needed).  It is fully equipped, apart from towels and sheets (but these can be arranged at an additional cost if needed).

The Resort of Boca de Cufre

Boca de Cufre is a small and extremely safe resort. The main season is December to February.  Outside of these months it is very quiet, apart from the weekends. If you are looking for a location to chill out, fish, go for long walks on the beach and generally be at one with nature you will love this small unpretentious place.

What is there to do in Boca De Cufre?

The resort is ideal to fish, go for walks and swim and generally chill out and enjoy the sea and beaches. Outside of the season it is a superb location do absolutely nothing and be at one with nature and go for long walks on the beach and in the dunes. In the season there is a Club de Pescadores which offers excursions to go fishing from boats. In the same building is located a rustic restaurant which offers freshly caught fish. In the high season it is great for small children to enjoy the beach and all that the sea offers.

The Fishing

As the house is situated right on the estuary of the River Cufre the fishing can be superb. The river has a variety of fish including the famous fighting Dorado – in fact it was from the terrace of the house that I caught my first Dorado which we then ate that evening - what a thrill!  In the house are a couple of basic fishing rods which you can use and we can arrange to get some bait to you – if the fish are biting you will have the time of your lives – and your supper too!

The Walks

The area is great for long walks on the beach and in the dunes - if you walk in the evening you will see some of the best sunsets you have ever seen.

The River Plate

The River Cufre flows into the River Plate. You will find beautiful white sand and swimming in the river is very safe – it is shallow and warm from November till April – some people swim in it all year round.

How to get there

You can get a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia. The fast boat takes one hour. On arrival in Colonia take the Route 1 in the direction of Montevideo. At kilometer 102 you will see a sign on the right hand side to Boca del Cufre. Take this road and follow it until you arrive in the resort.  Drive through the resort and just before the beach you will see the house on the right hand side.
