About the host

Hosted by Daniella

Host profile image
Two hard working parents of two energetic teenage boys. We love taking trips to Merrijig and always enjoyed going up to the Victorian High Country with our family hiking, skiing and cooling off in the river over summer. Travelling is something we love to do and we are always excited to explore more of Australia. We love to share our lovely home with you which we have restored over the years (Built in the 70s) since we fell in love in 2017.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact you can relax all day at the house and along the river, there is no need to get in a car sight seeing. We can fish, swim and go walking from the front door. If you feel like some action you can head up the mountains for hiking, skiing, road cycling or a shop in the lovely town of Mansfield only 15min drive away. The area is growing fast, so lots of new restaurants popping up which is always exciting as well as wineries close by.

What makes this property unique

Hearing the sound of the river from the house (from your bedroom in the morning) and the birds in the day are amazing. We never get bored of sitting on the verandah and just listening to the surrounds with a good coffee. Favourite memories are having lunch with family and friends under the walnut tree listening to the river.
