Lovely location on the Delatite River with a nice wood heater inside and a log fire outside. Very clean and comfortable. Appropriately secluded but on 10 minutes from Mansfield. Highly recommend.

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.

If you are 2 or 3 families looking for accommodation in the area, don't look any further. The house offers all one needs and the scenery from back veranda is a bonus. Communication with Daniella was super easy too. Thank you for sharing your home. Looking forward to returning some other time too. Highly recommended a stay here.

A unique and special escape!
What a stunning location, right on the banks of the Delattite river, at a home with all the amenity you could want! It was perfect for our group who wanted some time in nature, but also the comforts of a lovely home and backyard. We travelled with 10 adults and an infant who were all comfortable here excited by the beauty of the place and all that we experienced. Thank you to Daniella for being a fantastic host - communication, cleanliness and information were all excellent.

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.

Really loved our stay. Fantastic location, perfect place to book for a group of up to 12. The house is set right on the Delatite river with beautiful gardens surrounding it. The house was clean and tidy and there is heaps of space for everyone. Excellent communication by owners. I would highly recommend this property as a base to explore the high country or to just get away for a few days to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the property and the river right out the back door.
