About the host
Hosted by Darian

Don Valley Lodge is proudly run by myself and my husband. We have called the property, where Don Valley Lodge is located, our home for the past 5 years and have spent the last 3 years lovingly renovating Don Valley Lodge, removing the dated 1960's interior and replacing it with brand new fixtures and fittings.
We live on this gorgeous property, in the main house, with our 2 boys and our 2 Labradors. We love this property so much and thoroughly enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the beautiful wildlife that visit everyday. We are thrilled to be able to share this magnificent property with the Guests of Don Valley Lodge.

What makes this property unique
Don Valley Lodge is set on a picturesque 10 acre property, filled with beautiful tall trees, lush green grass and a dam filled with gorgeous Waterlilies. We love watching the ducks dive into the dam and hearing the Kookaburras laugh daily. During Springtime there are often baby Ducklings waddling around, which are a joy to watch.
The birdlife that visits the property daily are a superb sight and they love feeding on the bird seed we provide them with. Some of the King Parrots even let our children feed them out of their hands.
Fellow Deer visit the property most days to feed on the grass, they are truly beautiful animals.
Most nights you can hear Wombats munching on grass and we have one Wombat who visits during the day sometimes.
Bunnies can be seen daily eating the grass and hopping around and quite often chasing each other around.
We hope our Guests get as much joy out of the property surrounding Don Valley Lodge as we do.
