About this property

Luxury Family Getaway|Pool|Open Fire|Chefs Kitchen|Sleeps 10

Banksia House High Country Retreat is a family‑friendly Mansfield accommodation offering four bedrooms plus a separate, dedicated baby nursery, a private swimming pool, and a cosy wood‑fired fireplace. Located in the heart of Mansfield and just 45 minutes from Mt Buller, this spacious home is ideal for extended families or relaxed group stays year‑round and comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests.
Designed for flexibility and comfort, the home features two living areas, including an open‑plan lounge and dining space and a separate rumpus room. During winter, the wood fire creates a warm and inviting setting after a day skiing at Mt Buller or exploring the Victorian High Country, while in warmer months the layout encourages easy indoor–outdoor living.
Large sliding doors open to a covered alfresco terrace that runs the length of the home and connects seamlessly to the well‑equipped kitchen via a servery window. This makes outdoor dining and entertaining simple and enjoyable.
The private, fully fenced backyard includes a swimming pool, level manicured lawn, BBQ, and outdoor dining area, creating an ideal space for families and groups to relax and unwind. With Mansfield’s cafés, shops and local attractions an easy walk away, Banksia House offers the convenience of a central location with the comfort and space of a true High Country Retreat.
