About the host

Hosted by Briony McSwan

Host profile image
We are a father and 2 sons and their families with very strong ties to the area. We love to surf and fish and love the Clarence River.

Why they chose this property

Our family hails from Chatsworth Island, Ashby and Maclean. We watched the old Ferry House slowly deteriorate when the last tenants moved out many years ago. When it came up for sale we couldn't resist. The renovation was a loving family project with a strong nod to the history of the house and the region. We live on the Sunshine Coast and Mackay now but come back to Chatsworth whenever we can because it has a magic and serenity all its own.

What makes this property unique

So beautiful So peaceful. Access to world class surf and miles of river and beach fishing. Dog friendly, dog heaven.
