Very comfortable accommodation, host was very approachable and attentive to any questions. Quiet location but close enough to get to all of the must do things in the area. Weather was extremely hot but we were very lucky to have a home with plenty of a/c’s and fans. Highly recommend for those visiting the area.
Nice quiet location with easy access to the town centre and river front. The house was well set up. Plenty of room for the family. Would happily stay again.
The house was as described & exceeded all expectations with first class facilities & amenities.Excellent & prompt communications with Penny which was very reassuring after a mishap at the property.Would highly recommend & would return again.
A lovely stay in this recently renovated home. Host very communicative, extremely friendly and helpful. Thankyou for a lovely stay. The welcome goodies were a nice touch.
Lovely tidy & welcoming property with all you could need. Plenty to do in Mildura - we didn't fit it all in & hope to be back. Ambling along the Murray was a delight & very easy from this location. Hosts kept good communication & we were well looked after.

Thank you for your kind words Virginia. It was a pleasure to have you stay at the Faraway House. We would welcome you back with open arms when you return to Mildura ☺️
We loved our stay here. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything including some special touches like fresh milk and bread. It’s clean, modern, spacious, with great indoor and outdoor spaces. Fantastic hosts too. 100% recommend and hope to be back. Thanks Penny and Ricky!
Plenty of room, table tennis to keep all ages entertained, enough indoor seating for all, which is not always the case. Nice outdoor lawn area and secure parking off street. Kitchen fully equipped
It is a great home. Small but spacious. We really appreciated the bottle of wine, loaf of bread and other bits and pieces. We thank you so very much for allowing us to use your home. It was truly lovely
Amazing house with every space thoughtfully designed for luxury and comfort. Also, a nice quiet location with a very short walk to river parkland.
Penny and Rick were great hosts with clear communication, instructions and also pleasantly surprising us by leaving a very generous gift of a bottle of wine and bread to enjoy during our stay.
Highly recommend - thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Faraway House!
We travelled to Mildura for a family funeral and this was the perfect house to distract us and the kids with games and ping pong. It had a really well stocked kitchen. All the space allowed us to have other family members drop over for drink and it feel like it was our home we were entertaining from. The fire was the cherry on the cake.
The Faraway House was the perfect place to stay for my work trip.
The beds were very comfortable, and with a few hot days, the air conditioning worked very well. The hosts even left it running before we arrived for our comfort!
We unfortunately didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space or games very much, except for some TV in the evening, however we enjoyed our time in the house nonetheless.
Thank you for an excellent stay.
Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen with good quality cooking utensils and saucepans etc. and quality washing machine.
Outdoors is a lovely grassed area and security with a lockable car garage.
We stay in Mildura often and this is the best place we have stayed. Perfect for our family and trips to the river with our boat. It was a very hot week but the house was set up perfectly to accommodate our family. We could come home from the river, unpack the boat, organise dinner and then relax outside under the pergola while the kids played table tennis in the shed. Would definitely recommend for families. Close to the river and not far from supermarkets. Everyone felt at home and we all enjoyed our stay.
Like the loungeroom nice place to relax. Kitchen/Dining works well, outdoor table good, the shed would have nice if the A/C worked, I didn't want to bother Penny with this, maybe nice with a T.V. Really liked your house. Thank You
We had an incredible stay at The Faraway House in Mildura! This property exceeded all our expectations, perfectly catering to our large family of 7 (5 kids!). The house was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The Faraway House truly felt like a home away from home. The spacious layout and family-friendly amenities made it ideal for our clan. We appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches that made our stay so relaxing.
We highly recommend The Faraway House to any family seeking a warm and welcoming base in Mildura. We can't wait to return!
