Absolute charm! This is a very clean, super comfy beautiful barn stay. Top quality amenities, everything you could possibly need, bring your own food and cook up a storm or dine in town at the local pub or Inn. We loved our walks around the gardens and along the creek edge. Glorious! Can’t wait to return.
The newly constructed River Barn is a great spot with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. You can wander down along the river which is part of the property, our little dog had a great time exploring. The listing on Stayz was unfortunately misleading, stating a travel time of 53min to Mt Hotham whereas the road is actually closed in winter so it's 3+ hours which scuttled our snowboarding plans. The driveway is a bit dicey - if you have a car with low clearance you might struggle. Otherwise we had a great time and the host Trish was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Thanks for having us!

Our stay at Parson Flat River Barn was an incredible retreat into nature's embrace. The accommodation, almost new and impeccably clean, blended modern comfort with rustic charm. The gentle sound of the nearby river was a soothing backdrop, enhancing our peaceful nights. We were delighted to borrow fishing gear from the friendly host and spent enjoyable hours trout fishing just steps away.The highlight of chilly evenings was the barn's log fire, not only warming us but also doubling as a practical stove for cooking meals and boiling water. All essentials were provided, including fresh sheets and towels. Outside, the fire pit offered a perfect setting for grilling under the stars, with frequent deer sightings adding to the enchanting atmosphere.The journey to Parson Flat involved navigating winding roads, rewarding us with breathtaking scenery. For provisions, stocking up in Bairnsdale proved economical, while the Dargo store came in handy for emergency items. Dining at the Dargo pub was a delight, offering hearty meals and a cozy ambiance beside a crackling fire.Our stay exceeded expectations, blending relaxation with nature's beauty. Parson Flat River Barn is highly recommended for those seeking tranquility and comfort in a picturesque setting.
