6 Bedroom House in Merrijig

Winners of Stayz Best Family Accommodation in Australia, we know that Play Shack® is the perfect family accommodation and will surpass all expectations.
Play Shack® will provide the ultimate luxury outdoor getaway for your family and friends. If you are looking for that perfect family location, then look no further - you have just found it. Whether your family consists of young children, grown up children or none at all this stunning rustic log cabin which collides with modern architecture has it all. Enjoy skiing in winter, only 25 minutes’ drive from the property, and the rest of the year enjoy endless activities that the region and Play Shack® has to offer.
We cannot help but boast that the back door leads directly to the Delatite River and wonderful outdoor scenery of the Victorian High Country. Trout jump out of the water to tease you and daily visits from kangaroos, birds and deer make the stay even more exciting. A wonderful location for professional and amateur photographers, nature lovers and anyone who desires something very special.
The main accommodation comfortably caters for 3 families with 3 master king bedrooms, a bunk room for all the kids, and plenty of living and dining areas - all with beautifully designed interiors. Plus, there's an abundance of play equipment, both inside and outside. Play Shack®2 also features a drying room for guests' convenience during the damper months.
Inside Play Shack® 2, families are extremely spoilt. Two distinct wings of the house provide peace and quiet: on the ground floor there are beautiful vistas of the river and hills, while upstairs caters for fun and games for kids and adults in a spectacular games room with floor to ceiling windows and a rumpus area full of play equipment. Who can resist such classics as pool, ping pong, air hockey, foosball table and the classic Pacman arcade games console table. Our cupboards are full of games, books, toys, DVDs, and drawing items.
Outside there is so much space and privacy for the entire family. Adults can enjoy a quiet rest or drink by the river while the kids use the play equipment such as the trampoline, swing set and bikes, followed by a play in the river. There is a large second fridge located in the undercover 4 carport for easy access in the summer months.
For families with toddlers, we make life a little easier when packing the car; no need to pack porta cot, high chair, booster seats, a step to reach the sink, child's loo seat or even a potty.
Located on the same one acre of land, consisting of a semi-self-contained two bedrooms, one king & a bunk room with a double bed and 3 singles cabin newly constructed from recycled materials, it is perfect for another family, the in laws, or a private love shack for a couple. The price includes this cabin.
After 21 years in business, known to be simply the best in the area, we have a wonderful reputation with local businesses, we have negotiated some exclusive specials and discounts for our guests.

Summary: Clear instructions on what is expected of us was useful. The two shacks we booked were clean and comfortable. A dip in Delatite river was a refreshing start for each day after our daily morning exercises. Awesome views of green, unadulterated bushland, and visiting deer residents. Best of all...fresh air, quiet and peaceful surrounds accompanied by the daily symphony of morning birdsong...a much welcome pause from the noise, pollution, and crowds of city living.

Summary: The houses and the surrounding area were both very nice and beautiful. However, the check in procedure and the requirements imposed on the guests made the whole experience so unpleasant. The host required us to sign condition reports and anything that are not specified in the condition report could mean that we lose our bond. There wouldn't be any problems if the report covered major damages only. However, the host report of existing damages included every tiny thing. Examples: blue cue mark on the ceiling in the rumpus room (well, it took me 5 minutes to locate that tiny mark on the ceiling), scuff marks inside all cupboards (there are 20 cupboards in the house, should we go and look inside each and every of them?), chip to corner only of island bench kitchen (well, truth to be told, I couldn't find such chip and couldn't bother), various marks on fireplace top (hmmm, the house is like 20 years old and rented out, can we just assume that the fireplace top would have a few marks?), 1 small mark on wall paper (again, I could easily find 30 small marks on the wall, should I take pics and report ALL of them?), and the list went on with those tiny and useless conditions. We checked in late (around 8:15pm) and were very hungry but we were welcome by this condition report with a very specific instructions that we had to complete this condition report and inform the host with any conditions that were not already specified by the host (with photos to prove it) and we had to send back that signed report to them by midnight otherwise they would assume that we had accepted that report they prepared and anything not described in that report would be our faults. What happen next is that, instead of sit down and enjoy the nice house and relax and have a nice dinner, we spent the next 1.5 hours to go around the to look for existing issues that were not already described by the host. And voila, we actually found more than 10 things that were much worse than what they specified in their report (e.g, broken soccer table, big marks on the wall, etc.) We can't help but have the feeling that the host were trying to set a trap for us to step into. What more? The host removed the remote controls of the two split systems upstairs. Hello, we rented the whole house but we are not allowed to use these appliances?? Also, there is a wifi router that we can connect to but it didn't have internet access. We informed the host immediately but they didn't fix it for the 2 nights

Summary: Everyone was very impressed! We were a group of 18 on an R&R trip (Retreat & Recreation). Play Shack 2+4 was perfect for us. Big enough for all, and still very cozy, especially by the fireplace. From other reviews we expected a river, but we did not expect it to be so close and so beautiful. With the gentle burble of the water, and amidst the hills, Play Shack was a great serene setting for our retreat. And Mt. Buller being so close was our chosen recreation! We grew accustomed to the kangaroos that visited often (though it definitely was a surprise coming in the driveway for the first time! - after reading Suzanne's very detailed instructions to the property, to watch out for kangaroos lol). It was also enthralling to see the kookaburras fly so close, and a few of us even saw deer in the early morning. The rooms were very comfortable and warm. And plenty of bathrooms to suit our large group. The bathroom upstairs was particularly appealing! The kitchen had everything we needed too and more (e.g. great coffee! with stocked Nespresso). Suzanne made sure it was far from basic! She knows how to make her guests feel very much at home and genuine about it. We didn't want to leave and so glad we stayed an extra night. Our objective for this retreat for our young adults leaders was "self-care" (in return for all the service they give our youth groups) Play Shack 2+4 definitely was most conducive for our successful R&R!

Summary: We celebrated our perfect wedding on the beautiful grounds of Play Shack river front. Starting as a huge blank slate with endless opportunities, we were able to do it our way and to our budget, as other venues weren't ready or able to allow. When we mentioned ‘wedding’ Suzanne said CONGRATULATIONS rather than double the price! She provided contacts of local caterers, event hire and other suppliers whose efforts helped make our day amazing. We wanted a relaxed, fun wedding for all ages, having lots of time to get ready and not having to pack up in a hurry. Being affordable and flexible as a “wedding venue” is so rare and Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure that we were perfectly happy with our choice. We were able to bring all of our dreams and ideas to life in the garden and along the river. From the morning to the end of such a magical day, we didn’t have to go anywhere but just enjoy the surroundings with dear friends and family. With Play Shack’s two properties on the same grounds, we were able to prepare separately with our parties and family and really enjoy the time without the usual wedding timing constraints. The photographer loved that he didn’t have to race between the bride and groom before the wedding and that the grounds had such a stunning array of photo opportunities. Taking a whole weekend to get ready for the big day and then to be able to relax and enjoy time together afterwards made for an unforgettable experience. Play Shack’s amazing array of accommodation meant that all of our guests were comfortably accommodated nearby. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you sincerely Suzanne and the entire Play Shack team.

Summary: We had 5 families/couples stay at Playshack 2 & 4 for a group snow trip and the accommodation was perfect for our needs. The location was a very short drive to the Mt Buller resort entry, which was definitely handy. Plenty of space in an amazing house with a cosy winter cabin feel but modern and well equipped with great amenities. The house catered well for all ages, everyone had a great time in the rumpus room!!! The kangaroos in the backyard definitely got everyone excited no matter what age. We were lucky enough to have snow fall on our last day, making the already amazing views that much more spectacular.

Summary: My extended family of some 20+ people has been going away once a year together for the last 15 years. This year, with a slightly smaller group (of 19) we opted for a Playshack alpine riverside stay. Suzanne was great to deal with, and organised cot beds for the smaller kids, and early check in for our group. The place was incredible, and did not disappoint. There was something for everyone at the property the whole time we were there. Where we would often pop out to see the local sights and attractions, this year we found ourselves instead spending more time lazing by the creek, or just relaxing at this five star property. A highlight was watching the herds of deer prancing past the windows across the soft green lawns at dawn and dusk, as well as the birds and kangaroos. Felt like a beautiful hidden oasis with all the trimmings you could want. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would recommend to any other mid to large group.
