The house was perfect for such a diverse group with plenty of space and lots to do both at home and nearby. We visited the Delatite Hotel in Mansfield and the Delatite Winery and really enjoyed both.The Lodge was well maintained and equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. The wood fire kept us warm all weekend.

The large windows that look out over the Delatite river are stunning! The property would be beautiful all year round but is very handy to Mt Buller. We will be back. ##### Jayne D.
