About this property
Lazy Daze River Retreat
Perched right on the banks of the stunning Goulburn River, this newly renovated retreat is the ultimate place to slow down, reconnect and soak up nature — without giving up your creature comforts.
Wake to the sound of flowing water. Spend your days floating down the river, reading on the deck, or feeding king parrots as they visit. As the sun sets, light the fire, pour a glass of wine and sink into the riverside hot tub under a blanket of bright country stars.
This is river living at its absolute best.
The Experience
• Riverside sauna with cold plunges in mountain-fresh water
• Wood-fired hot tub overlooking the river
• Expansive deck with uninterrupted river views
• Indoor wood fire for cosy winter nights
• Starlink WiFi (because we all “disconnect” differently!)
• Board games, gold pans & smart TV
• Complimentary quality linen & fluffy down pillows
Every season here is magic — summer river floats, golden autumn leaves, crisp winter mornings (Mt Buller snowfields are not far away), and blooming spring gardens.
