Parsons Flat River Barn - Enjoy a world of adventure or unwind on the porch
Enjoy getting out and about in Dargo from this newly completed river barn, perched near on the rivers edge for a truly enchanting retreat. Secluded and private, this tranquil haven immerses you in the untouched beauty of the Australian wilderness. Wake up to the gentle sights and sounds of wildlife all around you – kangaroos, wallabies, and deer grazing peacefully while colorful birds create a symphony of melodies. The nearby river is a sanctuary for elusive platypus and trout, offering an opportunity to witness nature’s wonders up close.
For a taste of local cuisine and community spirit, venture to the nearby Dargo River Inn and Dargo Pub, where hearty dinners and warm hospitality await. Start your day with a delectable breakfast at the Dargo Store, a convenient option for a quick bite before your day’s adventures.
Revel in the comfort of full amenities, ensuring your stay is nothing short of luxurious. Step outside to a world of adventure or simply unwind on the porch by the firepit, listening to the river’s gentle flow. Additionally, a communal camp kitchen awaits, equipped with a 6-burner BBQ, a cast-iron camp oven (fire-heated), a fridge, toaster, and kettle—bringing the joy of outdoor cooking to your fingertips.
Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature at our riverside barn. Whether you seek adventure or tranquility, this retreat promises an unforgettable experience amidst the stunning backdrop of the Dargo region.
Please take note that there is one other private accommodation on site, and the attentive owners are also on site to ensure your stay is as enjoyable and personalized as possible.

Lovely place in Dargo
The newly constructed River Barn is a great spot with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. You can wander down along the river which is part of the property, our little dog had a great time exploring. The listing on Stayz was unfortunately misleading, stating a travel time of 53min to Mt Hotham whereas the road is actually closed in winter so it's 3+ hours which scuttled our snowboarding plans. The driveway is a bit dicey - if you have a car with low clearance you might struggle. Otherwise we had a great time and the host Trish was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Thanks for having us!
