Phoebes place sits on a gorgeous, peaceful corner of land, about 15 minutes north of Dargo town. It is ideal for those looking to detach from the busy life in the city. We had a great time fishing, re...ading, enjoying the campfire. The hut and kitchen are well stocked with what you would need for the weekend. Even a bit of rain didnt affect our weekend as the hut is the perfect spot to sit in and enjoy a movie with the indoor stove lighting!

We hopefully will be back again.

My partner and our kelpie stayed at Roy’s Hut for a week and it was honestly the most perfect getaway we’ve ever had. Phoebe and John (and their kelpie Lucy!) were so accommodating and wonderful. The... amenities were just enough to make this holiday off-grid experience luxurious and comfortable. The outdoor shower was just glorious too. Quite literally didn’t want to leave! We had forgotten our fishing rod and Phoebe and John had generously lent us theirs, as well as providing the campfire grill for us which was just awesome. Dargo Hotel was fantastic as well to enjoy for a beer and parma. Definitely a good idea to bring more than enough supplies/food as the general store can be quite costly should you need to grab anything extra. Will absolutely be recommending this to our friends and family. Thank you guys for making our anniversary trip one to cherish.

A beautiful stay with delightful hosts. We had a lovely weekend away with the family, using the on site cabin and our own caravans. Instructions and directions that were provided leading up to our stay were clear and very helpful. We do not have a bad thing to report with our time away.

From a young age I have enjoyed the excitement, relaxation and cultural emergence associated with travelling. I have spent extensive time in the Victorian High Plains. Living between the Yarra Valley and Dargo I have a deep attachment to the Australian bush. In particular my family and I have discovered the many health and relationship benefits of intermittent time spent off grid.

River Swimming

The pristine Dargo River flows through the property. Its crystal clear waters is the perfect place for a dip in the warmer months, or grab a cold drink and plonk a deck char in the river.

Mountain Bike Riding

Probably Victoria's second-toughest sealed climb, after the infamous Mount Baw Baw. A combination of very steep, irregular gradients, a rough (though sealed) road surface, relatively little shade, and the position of its toughest section near the top, make it a very tough challenge. The Dargo hillclimb begins a few kilometres north of Dargo, Victoria, on the Dargo High Plains Road. The climb is easy to find, as there is only one sealed road in to and out of Dargo.

Mitchell River National Park

Mitchell River National Park has impressive river scenery, serene rainforest gullies, rugged landscapes and some of Victoria’s more unusual vegetation communities. From open forest to remote river gorges, the park is home to a vast array of indigenous flora and fauna, some at the furthermost extent of their range. The park is an exciting destination for outdoor enthusiasts and boasts unspoilt natural beauty and remoteness.

Mitchell River Walking Track

From river to gorge top, the semi-remote Mitchell River Walking Track follows the west bank of the river downstream from Angusvale through the Den of Nargun gorge, which is lined with remnants of temperate rainforest. There are spectacular views from the river to the top of the gorge. (One hour drive from camp site)
