Wonderful house, gorgeous views.
A very warm and welcoming house. The sound of the rippling waters was wonderful to sit and listen and watch. Also being able to walk and catch a trout! The house was clean and well presented, everything you want for a comfortable stay and we were very cosy. The bed was very comfortable with quality linen. Our two labs loved the river and the property as well and we hope to come back again.

This property is amazing!!!
We had such an amazing weekend. The property is just beautiful and the dogs had the best time. It isn’t fenced, but the yard is soo big, they always stayed within sight. Beds were comfy and the electric blankets were a nice touch. Place was nicely furnished, although spending most of the time on the deck. Can’t wait to go back.

Host profile image
I manged a ski lodge at Perisher Valley, NSW for nearly 20 years before moving to the Howqua in Victoria. I skied in winter and fly fished in summer, a program which I still do my best to stick to.
Penny and I bought this property after searching for about 2 hours.
We both knew it was the right place to be.

Why they chose this property

River frontage and a glorious location. Beautifully decorated, really comfortable beds and and fabulous linen.
