Comfortable, practical house in a superb location on the Howqua River. River is right out front and the garden that surrounds the property rich with birdlife and flowers. A lovely spot to ground and find peace.
The views are absolutely sensational, the location - perfect!! To be able to experience this beautiful property with our dogs was an added bonus! We will definitely be returning!
This lovely Howqua house is perfectly situated with stunning views of the Howqua river. Very clean and well set up house for a very relaxing break. Property Managers are fabulous.
A stunning property.
The location and serenity ensured that our family had another wonderful stay at River Downs.
Thank you again Andy and Penny for your hospitality and we look forward to another visit.
Stunning location on the beautiful river. Very private outlook with no other houses visible from the veranda.
The house and beds were very comfortable with everything we needed.
We enjoyed our stay
Thankyou
Beautiful spot on the river- river views from bed were stunning! Large deck was the perfect spot to enjoy a beer after a good day’s fly fishing with Andy. Feeding his pet trout in the swimming hole was even more fun! Would love to go back.
The moment we arrived the dogs were in the river. Everything you need is there. Spent time 4WD around Howqua which was awesome. At night you can lay on the deck and look up at the stars - it was awesome.
The house was right on Howqua River, very peaceful location. Beautiful veranda to sit on & relax and the house was very clean with lovely furniture & everything you could need in the kitchen. Added bonus it is pet friendly & Andy was very friendly & welcoming.
Thanks for our lovely stay

About the host
Hosted by Andrew Matenson
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.
