Amazing place had everything you could ever need!

We had such a lovely trip and can't thank the hosts enough. They have thought of everything, had lots of games, open fireplace, comfy beds, 3 bathrooms. Gave us an amazing home base to explore the region. We love cooking that kitchen was well equipped with all the things you would need. Can't wait to visit again and highly recommend to all.

Beautiful getaway

Lovely property set in beautiful surrounds. The fire place was amazing, and the house is a great set up for a couple of families with lots of space and bathrooms/toilets. Inbuilt trampoline and basketball ring were massive hits with our boys. Flora was a lovely host and very accommodating.

Great house for a weekend away with family

Was a great house for a weekend away with extended family. Lots of activities to keep the kids occupied and allow the parents to relax. Great size house to accommodate 13 people comfortably. Only negativity was ducted heating was abit noisy and wasn’t able to keep on overnight due to noise. Would highly recommend to others to stay

We are glad you had a great weekend Nicole! Thank you for the feedback about the heating. We know it gets very cold overnight and hope you were able to stay warm with electric blankets and portable heaters instead of leaving the heating on overnight. Thanks again for your stay

Country Victoria Paradise

Just as described. A perfect river cottage with all the modern amenities. Wrap around wooden decking and lots of sun drenched places to enjoy a coffee or wine. Tons of space for the kids. Beautiful strawberries and herb garden to gather supplies. The river is accessible and picturesque. Overall a very enjoyable relaxing stay.

Good area and silence

Over all good. Minor problems: no aircon, no garbage bins in toilets and on veranda. Also the cutleries not perfect. Thanks anyway.

Perfect place for a winter getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the River House. It was so inviting and cosy! So much space for the kids to run free around the property. The outdoor fire pit was a highlight and the serenity that comes with the river running through property and the kookaburras and frogs in the background. Perfect place to unwind. Thanks Flora and Steve!

An amazing getaway to a beautiful home on a river w mtb track a couple hundred meters away.

This was organised for Dad’s 70th birthday and kids and grandchildren. Family only event and it delivered! Mum & Dad we’re so delighted to have everyone under the one roof for the entire time we were there. Didn’t leave the property to go anywhere apart from ride out bikes. The kitchen facilities were amazing, the bedrooms were large enough that we felt like it was our our home. Parents have spoken about it and would love to make it an annual getaway house to go to. Many thanks to our hosts Steven & Flora for making it happen.

Ideal for large family groups

We travelled to Buxton as two families and couldn't have loved the house more. Plenty of room inside and out for everyone to relax and unwind. Beautiful wide windows in every room. Gorgeous fireplace. Spacious and well-appointed kitchen. Two of the four bedrooms come with en suite bathrooms, which were a luxurious treat. Lots of games and books. There were also some outdoor toys as well. Would definitely recommend it and will likely stay again.

Blokes Motorbike Weekend

A lovely home on a lovely property. Half a dozen fellas on a motorcycling weekend away. Had a great time enjoying the house and the grounds at a beautiful time of year. Brilliant road and rail riding at the doorstep. The house has everything you could possibly need and was very comfortable and warm through a chilly weekend.

Dream week away in Buxton

This is the second time we have stayed here. Because we love it so much. The property is massive and well maintained gardens. The adults could sit back and enjoy, as the kid explored, played basketball and scooted around the deck. The kitchen is amazing! Wok burner, griddle hot plate and deep fryer made mealtimes delightful. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Perfect house for a family celebration

Our stay in River House was a very memorable time to celebrate a milestone birthday. Everything worked well and the house very comfortable for our 3 family groups who ranged in age from 4 to 80 years. The position of the house is beautiful with many areas to explore safely - from wombat burrows to walking by the river. The many toys and games were a great hit with all ages and the verandah is made for scooters! Our thanks to Flora for making our time so special. Hopefully we'll be able to have a return visit in the future.

Spacious and beautiful

This property has it all for those who want to enjoy time away from city life. The lovely garden has shady trees and green lawns right down to the river. The house is so comfortable and there are lots of activities for children. Thanks for the strawberries, Fiona. We loved our stay.
