Tranquil stay with adventure close by

Peaceful and comfortable property. Plenty of room for the kids to run around and adults to chill. Stream and fire pit out back were great. So close to Buxton MTB park for cycling and Marysville for hiking. Local pub within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Just lovely

As we have regular visitors from the UK, we like to show them other places around our beautiful state of Victoria. We chose this property for its proximity to Marysville and its interesting features, plus the suitability of a 3 bedroom house. The grounds are spectacular and well kept with a delightful creek winding past the back garden. Our visitors were very impressed with it too.

Old boys getaway

We have worked together for more than 18yrs and try to get away for a weekend once or twice a year. Since we have retired we can take the opportunity for a midweek escape. We found our accommodation to to be very clean and comfortable. Set in a beautiful local, with well maintained grounds and backing on to a beautiful stream. We loved our stay and would be happy to go back again.

Perfection in every way

Our weekend away was perfect. House is beautiful, clean and comes with everything we needed. Comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen and the kids had a great time exploring the lovely gardens and playing near the river. Nights reclining by the fire were so relaxing after a big day at the snow. David was a great host and a must have is a Buxton burger when in town. Will definitely be back here again next winter!

Another wonderful time in Buxton

This was our second trip to Buxton. The first time we came was only for a few days so we felt the need to come back for a week, and were so glad we did. It really is a wonderful property and the river in the backyard is just amazing. Like last time we stayed, the house was spotless and well appointed. Plenty of firewood for the wood heater and the house was always toasty warm. David is a great guy and very easy to communicate with. Nothing was a bother and he is a pleasure to deal with. Have already booked our next trip to Buxton!

A little piece of paradise

My wife and our three kids stayed at Buxton Gardens by the river for 5 days in January this year. We were blown away by the property in so many ways. The river at the bottom of the garden is an absolute highlight and we spent many hours sitting on the bank with a beer enjoying the sound of the water. The house is spotless and has everything you will need, and the gardens are just spectacular. Lots of room for the kids to ride their bikes or kick the footy. The playground across the road is a bonus and the trout farm is a short walk away. We have already booked our next trip. Just sensational. Thank you David.

Picture perfect location.

We spent Christmas Day eating and drinking outside under a weeping willow beside a babbling brook. Does it get any better? The grounds of this property are divine. The house is much larger than expected (photos don’t do it justice at all) and although it’s an older house with older style furnishings it was perfect for what we needed. Super comfy beds and it was equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. Great communication with David on Christmas Eve when we couldn’t get the TVs to work. Highly recommend.
