Decks over the river flats, fenced yards for the kids and the dog, and quiet corners for a morning coffee. Every stay is made for slowing down.
Through the Seasons
East Gippsland shifts beautifully with the seasons. Whenever you come, the apartments are set up to make the most of it.
Summer
Dec to Feb
Long, warm days for the Marlo estuary and coast. Swim, fish and kayak, then fire up the Weber on the deck as the evening cools.
Autumn
Mar to May
The valley turns gold and the crowds thin. Crisp mornings, still afternoons on the river, and some of the best fishing of the year.
Winter
Jun to Aug
Draw the curtains, light the Coonara wood heater and settle in. Frosty starts, empty roads, and the Snowy running high and clear.
Spring
Sep to Nov
Wildflowers on the flats and birdsong at dawn. The perfect shoulder season for walking, touring the high country and exploring.
Testimonials from Our Guests
Rated 4.9 from more than 120 happy stays. Here's what a few of our guests had to say.
Rebecca M.
Absolutely spotless and so well set up. The wood heater made our winter stay cosy and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We didn’t want to leave.
Stayed in the Cottage · Winter
The Nguyen family
Perfect base for a family trip. The kids and the dog had the run of the fenced yard, and having two kitchens for our group was a game changer.
Stayed in the 5 Bedroom · Summer
David & Sue
Quiet, private and beautifully finished. Ten minutes to Marlo, a short walk to town, and the hosts thought of everything. We’ll be back.

A Note from Us
We built the place we couldn't find ourselves. Three quiet rooms, room for the dog, the boat, and the whole family. Come stay. Leave when you're ready.
