This was our second time staying at Marloo and it is one of our favourite places. The place is so peaceful, clean and cosy. The hosts are just wonderful and I could not recommend them more

We had a lovely off the grid stay at Marloo. It was very cold but the outdoor and indoor fire kept us toasty. The outdoor bath was the real winner. Only wish we could have stayed longer but it was eve...rything we could have wanted for a romantic weekend away. Cathy and Boh were great hosts, very responsive and lots of little touches throughout the home were noticed. Thank you again and we are already looking forward to returning!

I am passionate about designing and building with what is available without increasing demand on already stretched precious natural recourses, recycling and reusing materials that were destined for landfill. I believe a building should enhance the life of the people that inhabit it I also believe that a building should be self sustaining ie it’s own electricity managing its own waste having minimal impact on the earth.

Adventures Nearby
Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.
Glenlyon General Store
Great pitstop for coffee and a chance to create your own picnic hamper! This store is loaded with ALL the local produce and snack goodness!
The General Store
A quant general store on the main road into Glenlyon, stop off after the falls for food & coffee, local produce & wine.
Loddon Falls
Just a short drive from the small village of Glenlyon you will find the beautiful Loddon Falls. Follow the dirt road through farmland until you reach the gate to the reserve. Park the car and take the track to the information board, from here walk towards the river to find the rocky track down to the falls. Be rewarded with picturesque views of the falls. A great place to for a swim to cool off in summer.
Picnic At Loddon Falls
A short walk to view the falls from the top, although if you want more like me to get up nice and personal, you'll need to climb down the natural stone steps and follow the tracks. Great spot for a picnic too on the giant rocks. I spent all afternoon watching the day go by..
Local Winery
There's plenty of local wineries to discover but Atwood's Wines was close to the falls. I did a little tasting but didn't take long to figure out which one I was after.
Porcupine Ridge
We asked our wonderful host Angeline if she had any recommendations for scenic drives in the area and she recommended Porcupine Ridge Road without hesitation. Naturally, we follow her advice and we definitely weren't disappointed. The entree to Porcupine Ridge Road is only about a 10-minute drive from Poets lodge and you can drive it to end in about 30 minutes.
The entire time we were surrounded by rolling grass hills (think Windows screensaver green hills), the sound of birds, castles and absolutely no cars or people in sight. We stopped multiple times along the road to just take in the country air and soak in the sights.
