About this property
River Retreat
The River Retreat is a family friendly home located on the beautiful Delatite River that promises a luxurious and clean stay. It is a self contained property with great views overlooking the river and Timbertop Mountain.
Just a 10 minute drive from the gates of Mt Buller & Mt Stirling, & a 15 minute drive to Mansfield for all of your families needs.
The River Retreat is a modern 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comprising of open plan living and enough space in the backyard for an abundance of activities. From the house you are able to view the Delatite River, Merrijig and surrounds and the popular Alpine Mountain of Mount Buller.
There is plenty of space for cars, boats and motorbikes as the property is located close to many lakes (Lake Eildon & Bonnie Doon) and a great choice of dirt bike tracks too. This property is located in a small court of only a few homes and is placed at the back closest to the river.
The large Primary bedroom with a King bed looks onto the backyard and river and encompasses an ensuite bathroom. The other two large bedrooms include a Queen bed and two bunks with one having a double bed below.
The open plan kitchen area has all European appliances with a large island bench to enjoy as well as a family sized dining table.
The outdoor decking has a fireplace and tv that overlooks the backyard and the river. After a long day on the ski fields, why not relax and unwind in the 10-man spa located at the rear of the property next to the outdoor deck area.
The photos do not justify what is there. All linen and towels provided.
Please refer to the information booklet for discounts on Ski & Snowboard rentals at Black Mountain Equipment. Conveniently located next to the bus depot on the mountain so you don't have to carry equipment of the hill.
Guest Access: At the front door there is a coded lock, which the code is given out the day before arrival.
