Two days on the Howqua
A very well maintained and comfortable property overlooking the Howqua River. We stayed two nights in December, whilst my partner went horse riding I fished the Howqua upstream from the cabin. I caught and released some nice rainbow and brown trout. Below the cabin in the evenings we saw a platypus. The cabin itself is comfortable, clean, and contains all the amenities that one would need. Well located between Mansfield and Jamieson, it is the ideal place to relax and explore. The host Andy is a top bloke and an experienced flyfisherman who provides guiding services. A highly recommended property to book and enjoy.

Lovely weekend away.
Beautiful spot on the river- river views from bed were stunning! Large deck was the perfect spot to enjoy a beer after a good day’s fly fishing with Andy. Feeding his pet trout in the swimming hole was even more fun! Would love to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Matenson

Host profile image
I manged a ski lodge at Perisher Valley, NSW for nearly 20 years before moving to the Howqua in Victoria. I skied in winter and fly fished in summer, a program which I still do my best to stick to.
Penny and I bought this property after searching for about 2 hours.
We both knew it was the right place to be.

Why they chose this property

River frontage and a glorious location. Beautifully decorated, really comfortable beds and and fabulous linen.
