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.

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.

Beautiful modern house at the foothills of the Alpine National Park
From the moment we arrived we realised that the property was as good as the photos.
Everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay.
Our stay was in summer so the river was perfect for cooling down after days exploring the region

A really special place with the house right on the beautiful Delatite river. We were a group of 11 adults who had a very relaxing time there, sitting round the fire pit outside, and dining inside with a warm fireplace. Good communication with Daniella.

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.

River retreat
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.

Perfect family getaway
I would highly recommend this property for a family getaway. Our two families (with six children) spent a fabulous long weekend here - there was plenty of room for us all. House was so well equipped, with everything you need. The river was such a bonus - provided hours of entertainment for kids and adults, with rafting, fishing and walking along the banks. Outside fire pit was great - all the fun parts of camping without having to sacrifice any home comforts! Our kids are already asking when we can go back! Thanks so much Daniella for sharing your gorgeous home.

5 star holiday!
We stayed at the property with two other families over the long weekend and had a fabulous stay. Daniella was amazing during the booking process and was quick to provide us with all the required information. The house was fully equipped with everything that we needed, was very clean, and in a stunning location by the river. It was also an easy drive to Mt Buller for us. We wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again or recommending the property to friends. Thanks for hosting us!

Relaxing River Getaway
The house was Beautiful.
Welcoming, clean & spacious.
It had everything you need for a relaxing & enjoyable stay.
Not having to bring linen was a bonus. The beds were so comfortable.
Having the river so close was a treat. At times it was like camping, but with the luxury of a house.
The owners were extremely helpful & accommodating to our needs. Clear instructions made it all effortless.
We are hoping to make this an annual family destination.

A wonderful stay
Mountain River House is a wonderful property, easy to access with all the amenities you could need. The river running behind the property is beautiful and the gardens are so peaceful. The house is spaced out nicely for larger groups with lots of bedrooms and seperate bathrooms, all very clean and comfortable. The owners were also extremely helpful with directions and any questions we had. The only issue was a lack of phone reception inside the house but this was easily solved by walking outside to the driveway and in turn it was a blessing in disguise to have some real peace and quiet! A wonderful stay.

Absolutely loved this beautiful home. Spacious and perfect for large families!
This beautiful home is by far the best property we have booked thus far. The family and I thoroughly enjoyed the spacious home and the well equipped kitchen. The kids absolutely loved the kids room and the fire pit out the back. On top of this amazing home, the owners were great to deal with and even allowed us to check in early and check out late. We had such a great time that we are considering another stay at the end of the year during summer. Thank you for making our annual family snow trip relaxing and memorable!

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.
