Wonderful house, gorgeous views.
A very warm and welcoming house. The sound of the rippling waters was wonderful to sit and listen and watch. Also being able to walk and catch a trout! The house was clean and well presented, everything you want for a comfortable stay and we were very cosy. The bed was very comfortable with quality linen. Our two labs loved the river and the property as well and we hope to come back again.

This property is amazing!!!
We had such an amazing weekend. The property is just beautiful and the dogs had the best time. It isn’t fenced, but the yard is soo big, they always stayed within sight. Beds were comfy and the electric blankets were a nice touch. Place was nicely furnished, although spending most of the time on the deck. Can’t wait to go back.

Two days on the Howqua
A very well maintained and comfortable property overlooking the Howqua River. We stayed two nights in December, whilst my partner went horse riding I fished the Howqua upstream from the cabin. I caught and released some nice rainbow and brown trout. Below the cabin in the evenings we saw a platypus. The cabin itself is comfortable, clean, and contains all the amenities that one would need. Well located between Mansfield and Jamieson, it is the ideal place to relax and explore. The host Andy is a top bloke and an experienced flyfisherman who provides guiding services. A highly recommended property to book and enjoy.

Lovely weekend away.
Beautiful spot on the river- river views from bed were stunning! Large deck was the perfect spot to enjoy a beer after a good day’s fly fishing with Andy. Feeding his pet trout in the swimming hole was even more fun! Would love to go back.

Great spot and certainly one of the better rentals. Andy was a great host and Fly fishing coach; when in season. Our Assistance pup loved it and made a new friend, ‘Roughy’, Andy’s dog. Big Wallaroo’s come down of an evening so put your dog inside.
