Such an amazing location! Perfectly suited our group of 9. Plenty to keep the kids entertained, amazing creek to cool off in and beautiful views. Great spot!
The property was good for our stay, kitchen well appointed and house well located. Some of the coments we had read was that it was noisy being on the main road we did not have a problem with this. There were lots of DVD's but the player was not working and despite a call to the manager no one could assist. There were only 2 dishwasher tablets for a stay of 4 nights with a family, so we had to purchase more. After we left I was accused of something we had nothing to do with and the accusations and discussions with the owner left a disappointing feeling to the end of our trip.

Modern and comfortable house with a gorgeous view
The house is modern, clean and spacious comfortably accommodating our families. Whilst the house is near the main road and you can hear cars go by, that didn’t bother us and is made up by the easy drive to Mt Buller gate and direct access to the river in the back where you can hear and see the rushing river from the living room upstairs! There were a few minor things that could be better, eg. Central heating instead of individual heater, the bbq has bottle be filled up, newer board games for the kids but overall it’s much better than other places we’ve stayed at.

Loan Tran family stay looked after the property left it tidy in most parts. I agree with Loan Tran the road is close and road noises are not noticeable to most people. Not many vehicles of a night makes it quiet and agree it is handy to access to the most direct road to places like Loan Tran says. The house is much further set back from a main road than city hotels/motels. The viewing deck where people can watch all the interesting vehicles like road bikes, vintage cars, rally cars, horse trucks its good country traffic going to and from all outdoors activities. Every type of traveler going to the Alpine country passes this location. I notice Loan Tran managed to use the BBQ and I keep a spare gas bottle for the BBQ. Unfortunately users have to be capable to change the bottles if they run out as the house is self contained. I am experimenting with the heating as it was all in place when I purchased the house. Having separate room heating has its advantages as some people get too hot and other cannot get enough heat. Central heating is a one control unit but is more effective for larger area and considering to do the same as upstairs which is very effective. Board games are old I can replace them but what are kids interested in these days when IPads are the rage nobody appears interested in board games anymore. New table tennis and not many use it. New date board not many use it. The river is probably more interesting. Thanks Loan Tran for your comments I pay attention to people views that's why the house is well kept and as new
All guests need to check and report everything on day1
For guest: need to record and report all damages and issues on day 1. Now i need to deal with landlord for soaked floor next to bathroom (i think the bath room tile is leaking and the water proof between tile and timber floor wasn’t done properly), and other issues, e.g. loose hinge, ants, unlocked front door which never used as we used side PIN code lock door all the time). Need to solve the issues/claims with landlord and prove the damages not done by our stay after happy holidays to Mt Buller :(
All seven of us didn't want our mini holiday to finish. We really liked the house, especially the river in the backyard. Kids do want to come back to this place because of backyard. The house was very clean, spacious with everything you might need during your stay. I wish we could bring our dog. The TVs in rooms could be upgraded. It would be great if there would be air-conditioning downstairs and a fen in the bathroom upstairs. We love our coffee, so brought our own coffee machine. Don't forget to bring marshmallows, we loved using the fire pit but didn't have any marshmallows. I love using bath sheets oppose to bath towels, bring your own if you are like me. Although the towels were new and nice. Beds were comfortable and firm enough. Would definitely come bavk.

I thank Irena and her family group for staying after having to delay a snow weekend away due to covid lockdown issues and arrive in Summer. A Merrijig holiday can be enjoyed in the coldest months and the hot months as there are optional things to see and do. My dear guests have enjoyed a stay at the property and all suggestions made will be taken notice of.
Excellent property in a great Merrijig location. Extra treat with the view from backyard including the river. Big backyard for the kids to stretch their legs. Only minus was no wifi and location has limited cellular signal for hotspoting. Still rate this property very high…thank you!
We loved our stay! The house and property were both emasculate, stunning location right on the river and close to the pub. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to be while we enjoyed our time away out of the city. Thank you!

Glad you chose to travel to Merrijig and had a good time. As well thank you for choosing this property and leaving it very tidy on departure.
Lyntons property was everything we needed given the chaos of the past 2 years. The house was well equiped, ample bedding and the location was really wonderful on the creek. Quick drive to Mansfield if you need groceries and Buller is just up the road. Would definitely stay here again.

Lynton has been very good at communicating.
It’s a beautiful property and have enough space for 8-9 people. River at the back runs a sweet sound in the background. Totally serene. Will visit again.
Amazing property by the river in a spacious house! Bigger than the pics!
Thanks for a wonderful spot for a family gathering! :)

Clair's group did leave the house in good shape and apart from the recycle bin with some wrong entries that had to be seperated I was pleased by the over-all standard.
We really enjoyed our stay in this property. It has everything you need for a really comfortable stay and it is wonderful having the river at the end of the property. We would definitely stay here again.
Comfortable, spacious house. Perfect for two families.
The house was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for two families. Wonderful view. The kitchen was well supplied. Very convenient to have the pub within easy walking distance. The owner was helpful and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay and would book again if visiting the area.
Beautiful modern, clean property. The location is great and the outlook from the backyard and balcony is stunning.
Lynton always got back in touch quickly with requests and questions. Everything was as advertised and this property exceeded all our hopes for our stay.
We will definitely book again if we are looking to go back to Mount Buller. Thanks Lynton!

Absolutely fell in love with this home and also the location! Having the lake in the backyard is a bonus, not one issue with the home and we definitely will be returning. Lynton was very helpful and prompt. This is a perfect house for a weekend away

Why they chose this property
The location is by a river and at the foot of the snow fields.
What makes this property unique
Ever have a fountain or garden pond or dream of having some form of water display about your property? At the foot of this property, the river is the best water feature anyone could dream of. To create this water feature the Delatite River offers, would cost millions of dollars and more money to keep a river flowing. But this feature is free to all who wish to visit the area. Prints of past creatures may be found in the rock formation around the river, so you can imagine what animal may have roamed the area in say prehistoric times.
