We love Mary’s house! We’re fast making a winter trip here a tradition, having just spend a week there for the second year in a row. It’s stunning in all weather conditions and provides such a comfortable base to read a book, enjoy the sauna and connect with the beautiful nature that surrounds.

I booked bridge rest for a winter escape and to switch off for a few days.
The house itself is absolutely stunning, the use of space and finishing touches really makes this place feel like somewhere y...ou could live forever,
It’s so cozy and the fireplace heats up the place exceptionally well(was walking around in shorts like it was summer).
It really feels like you are up in the tree tops, absolutely loved the big windows up stairs.
Wish I could have stayed longer!
We adventured out to triplet falls, the Otway tree top walk and the red wood forest.
After a day adventuring out in the cold we came back and warmed back up in the sauna.
I definitely recommend this stay for anyone that wants to switch off for a few days or just wants to stay in a beautiful place.
Will definitely be back!
Thanks for having us.
