Just lovely

As we have regular visitors from the UK, we like to show them other places around our beautiful state of Victoria. We chose this property for its proximity to Marysville and its interesting features, plus the suitability of a 3 bedroom house. The grounds are spectacular and well kept with a delightful creek winding past the back garden. Our visitors were very impressed with it too.

Old boys getaway

We have worked together for more than 18yrs and try to get away for a weekend once or twice a year. Since we have retired we can take the opportunity for a midweek escape. We found our accommodation to to be very clean and comfortable. Set in a beautiful local, with well maintained grounds and backing on to a beautiful stream. We loved our stay and would be happy to go back again.

Why they chose this property

Its the perfect city getaway, As soon as you see the river in the backyard, all you want to do is open a bottle and relax

What makes this property unique

The river in the backyard is 20m from the back door and has plenty of fish, yabbies, crays, ducks etc. There are birds everywhere, a bower-bird nest in the front garden and 1 acre of very well maintained gardens to browse around with that same cold drink (or maybe the next one)
