Gorgeous farm stay

We stayed at river bend with three family groups- it was fantastic. Beautiful to wake up to views of the farm and the mountains, the kids loved going out to look for eggs, it was a great spot to base ourselves for days up at mount Hotham and in to bright and porepunkah and wandi for meals. We had a ball.

Just the sounds of nature. A short ride to lovely towns, but lots of interesting and involving things on property. Table tennis, feeding and looking of chooks, feeding sheep (learning that after been fed they will follow you for days. Lazy river on prop.
