We had an amazing stay! Communication with the host before arrival was excellent, making everything smooth and stress-free. The house was beautifully set up, especially for families—everything was neat, well-maintained, and in perfect working order. We loved tubing down the river; it was such a fantastic experience. This place is definitely worth a return visit!

The backyard was amazing with the clean, running river and a fireplace to sit and chat by. The house was very comfortable and accomodating and the owner was always helpful. All age groups ranging from 3 to 60, loved our stay.

Great house, great location

We stayed at Mountain River House for a quick spring ski trip. The house was perfect...very spacious, clean and welcoming. It's set right on the bank of the Delatite River which provides the most beautiful outlook and is just 5 minutes from the Mt Buller park entrance. We'll be back for a longer stay next time.

Blissful Lazy River Getaway

This is a beautifully maintained property that met all our expectations. The river and outdoor setting were our favorite and floating down the river every day and sitting under the waterfall was devine. We loved the house it had everything we needed for 4 families. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Family Friendly Property.Great Location.

This is a great property. The house is fantastic for a couple of families. Layout is perfect with bedrooms seperated from living area. For summer the outdoor area is fantastic with a fire pit, outdoor dining table and the river well situated from the house. The river is shallow enough for the kids to play in. A 20 minute walk takes you to a great water hole for swimming. Everyone loved this stay. I highly recommend a stay with friends and family.

A great escape

We spent a lovely long weekend in Merrijig. The house is great - very well appointed with everything we needed (and more) for a comfortable stay. On the sunny days, the kids loved playing in the (icy cold!) river at the end of the garden, followed by marshmallows over the fire pit under an incredibly starry sky. When the rain finally came we had a cosy fire indoors and a great selection of dvds. A very beautiful part of the world, and very generous hosts.
