About this property
Play Shack® river front 6 bedroom Winner Best Family Accom in AUS, Riverfront
Winners of Stayz Best Family Accommodation in Australia, we know that Play Shack® is the perfect family accommodation and will surpass all expectations.
Play Shack® will provide the ultimate luxury outdoor getaway for your family and friends. If you are looking for that perfect family location, then look no further - you have just found it. Whether your family consists of young children, grown up children or none at all this stunning rustic log cabin which collides with modern architecture has it all. Enjoy skiing in winter, only 25 minutes’ drive from the property, and the rest of the year enjoy endless activities that the region and Play Shack® has to offer.
We cannot help but boast that the back door leads directly to the Delatite River and wonderful outdoor scenery of the Victorian High Country. Trout jump out of the water to tease you and daily visits from kangaroos, birds and deer make the stay even more exciting. A wonderful location for professional and amateur photographers, nature lovers and anyone who desires something very special.
The main accommodation comfortably caters for 3 families with 3 master king bedrooms, a bunk room for all the kids, and plenty of living and dining areas - all with beautifully designed interiors. Plus, there's an abundance of play equipment, both inside and outside. Play Shack®2 also features a drying room for guests' convenience during the damper months.
Inside Play Shack® 2, families are extremely spoilt. Two distinct wings of the house provide peace and quiet: on the ground floor there are beautiful vistas of the river and hills, while upstairs caters for fun and games for kids and adults in a spectacular games room with floor to ceiling windows and a rumpus area full of play equipment. Who can resist such classics as pool, ping pong, air hockey, foosball table and the classic Pacman arcade games console table. Our cupboards are full of games, books, toys, DVDs, and drawing items.
Outside there is so much space and privacy for the entire family. Adults can enjoy a quiet rest or drink by the river while the kids use the play equipment such as the trampoline, swing set and bikes, followed by a play in the river. There is a large second fridge located in the undercover 4 carport for easy access in the summer months.
For families with toddlers, we make life a little easier when packing the car; no need to pack porta cot, high chair, booster seats, a step to reach the sink, child's loo seat or even a potty.
Located on the same one acre of land, consisting of a semi-self-contained two bedrooms, one king & a bunk room with a double bed and 3 singles cabin newly constructed from recycled materials, it is perfect for another family, the in laws, or a private love shack for a couple. The price includes this cabin.
After 21 years in business, known to be simply the best in the area, we have a wonderful reputation with local businesses, we have negotiated some exclusive specials and discounts for our guests.
Please enjoy scrolling through our photos, all taken from the grounds of the property or received from our appreciative guests (except snow scenes). We are often asked "is it really as good as the pictures?" We are sorry to say it's not - it is even BETTER. Our guests tell us "it was beyond our expectations." We look forward to hearing from you soon.
We welcome bookings here, however please note in the quote you received, you will see a "SERVICE FEE" added to our base rate. This commission/fee you pay VRBO and is out of our control. For single night bookings a $600 surcharge will apply.
Play Shack®... Play or just kick back & relax
Please note the following:
- Please ensure you read all the T'c & C's before making a booking
- We request photo ID's for all adults and only a list of names and ages of children
- On arrival you will be greeted with a condition report which we ask you to complete, in order to protect our guests from being accused of any pre-existing damage.
- Security camera monitor driveways and boundaries
Feel free to reach out if you require any clarity.
