Emma was a wonderful host to my family and I. My daughter lived feeding and interacting with the chickens and sheep. The accusation was clean beautifully decorated and spacious and had everything we needed. Location was great. Less than 10 mins drive to the Wangaratta CBD but far enough out to be peaceful and quiet

Farm stay

This stay exceeded my expectations. My daughter had such a great time visiting the lambs and sheep in the paddock. The river was also amazing - so close to the house. Emma and Max were just lovely, wonderful hosts. The lodge was lovely and very comfortable.

Peaceful getaway

Had an enjoyable stay in a lovely, peaceful location within easy driving distances of both Wangaratta & Yarrawonga. Would happily stay here again but as a bit of constructive feedback, we would have preferred cotton bed linen as opposed to the flannelette ones provided which were a little rough.

Pleasant and relaxing winter getaway

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of staying just north of Wangaratta in a rural setting near the Ovens River. The house was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the wood heater on the cold nights and the small tokens of hospitality from Emma and Max like the bottle of local wine and jar of chocolates. We used the place as a base for exploring the nearby Warby ranges and local wine regions (Rutherglen, Glenrowan and the King Valley).

family fun

We had a wonderful stay at the river retreat, with lovely touches by Emma that made this stay really easy with kids. It's a well appointed place with some books for kids and adults, games, extra pantry staples that helped make it feel more a like a home than just a rental. Our kids loved meeting the day-old chicks, and exploring along the river bank. and the tourist advice was great, and made last minute plans easy to figure out.
