Start your day with coffee on the riverside picnic benches or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets, listening to the Delatite river flowing over the rocks and stones. During the cooler months, gather around the large open fireplace in the spacious kitchen, featuring a rustic brick floor, where you can warm up and toast marshmallows for a cosy evening.
We supply tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, porridge, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. We have also provided books and games to make your stay enjoyable.
As part of the farm cottage’s historic design, access to the bedrooms is only via the veranda. To access the bathroom from the bedrooms, guests must enter from the veranda. There is only one toilet which is located in the one bathroom. Please consider if this will be suitable for your group before booking the property. The bathroom is clean but does have wear to the enamel.
This is a working farm. It is really important that guests do not enter any paddocks or open any gates in the property, as we just cannot guarantee your safety in these areas. There are lots of fantastic walks in the National Parks and State forests which are recommended in our guidebook. Any longer hikes happy to discuss.
If you wish to bring a pet, please discuss with us prior to booking.
Please note, there is no child safety fence between the cottage and the river and as such there is a significant risk for young children that may find their way down to the water.
Chris's cottage is a 15 minute drive from Mansfield and Lake Eildon and close to Mount Buller.
