About this property

The Far-Away House: River + Boat Ready!

Far from home but close to everything in Mildura, this newly renovated, spacious home offers 3 bedrooms (each with 1 bed), 2 bathrooms, a dedicated workspace, open-plan living, and a large outdoor area—perfect for families, couples, or friends. Walk to the Trail of Lights, explore riverfront tracks and parklands, watch paddleboats pass by, and enjoy Mildura’s vibrant café scene, one coffee at a time. Bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, The Far-Away House is the kind of place you'll want to return to year-round. Whether you're visiting in the warmth of summer or the cool of winter, we've got your comfort covered. Stay cool with evaporative air conditioning throughout, ceiling fans in every room, and split systems for extra chill. In the cooler months, snuggle up by the cozy slow-combustion fireplace or warm your toes in no time with the split systems.

The garage doubles as a games room, complete with evaporative cooling, a ceiling fan, and everyone’s favourite: a ping pong table! Grab yourself a book and relax in the hammock in between Mildura adventures or play board games with the family in the lounge.

Our bedrooms include:

1x king bed with ensuite (split system)

1x queen bed (split system)

1x double bed (portable Dyson heating/cooling unit)

1x optional double pull-out sofa bed in lounge (split system) * additional charge of $50 p/night*
- please advise us if you require this for your stay.

All beds are fitted with luxury bedding and the bathrooms are stocked with soft, fluffy towels. There's also a separate toilet adjacent to the main bathroom for added convenience.

Fast Wi-Fi & multiple USB charging points

Smart TVs - include Disney + access (lounge, outdoor area & double bedroom)

Webber Q BBQ for alfresco meals

Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need—plus a Nespresso machine and Nutribullet for coffee & smoothie lovers

Undercover storage area with space for multiple cars or small boats—perfect for those bringing their own gear

Whether you're planning a relaxing weekend or a longer getaway, The Far-Away House is the perfect base to unwind and reconnect. Walk or ride to the nearby riverfront, explore scenic parks, or enjoy local shops and cafés just minutes away. Head out for a morning stroll and brunch by the river or pack a picnic and spend the afternoon under a palm tree.

Take a stroll to the Trail of Lights, visit Lock 11, the Mildura Arts Centre, Mildura Station Homestead or enjoy a family afternoon at Apex Park River Beach (with boat ramp)—just a 25-minute walk or a 3-minute drive. The Far-Away House offers convenient self-check-in and ample on-site, remote-controlled secure parking—enough space for up to five vehicles. For larger boats or caravans, the extra-wide driveway provides additional room for two more vehicles or trailers.

Carport clearance (remote-controlled):
Width – 2600mm | Height – 2100mm. The Far-Away House includes an optional pull-out sofa in the lounge, comfortably sleeping an additional 2 guests for $50 per night. A porta cot is also available and can be set up upon request.
