Gorgeous converted barn nearby picture petfect Bright
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely accom in Freeburgh. Warmly greeted on arrival by Bel, we couldn't fault the accom, right down to the health&eco friendly bath&kitchen products 😁 Our daughters loved the novelty of the loft bedroom &the outdoor fire pit was enjoyed each night. An approx 10km bike ride to town was a bit of a challenge for the little legs of our 9 yr old, but it was easy to take the bikes into town to access the rail trail. Hikes in nearby mt Buffallo are a must! I would highly recommend this accommodation and beautiful part of Victoria.

About the host
Hosted by Belinda Raveane
Brendan and Bel Raveane moved to Freeburgh with their two children, Gus and Lola after a 5 month caravan adventure. They spotted Riversedge whilst on the road and could not stop thinking of the property. When fate had it's way in May 2015 and they broke down on Fraser Island,they immediately decided that it was time to settle down. Turning the property into a farm stay has been an amazing adventure and many of the guests have become friends. They look forward to sharing Riversedge with you.
Why they chose this property
Nestled in the Ovens Valley and with direct river access, Riversedge is 10 acres of manicured orchards. In all seasons the variety of trees, both native and planted provide stunning colours.
What makes this property unique
The mountain views, river sounds, fresh air and bird life will mesmerise.
