Schusters Lodge Howqua Hills

Are you looking for the ultimate forest river swimming weekend getaway?  🌲❤️Please read on…..

For my 40th, my husband Sean found the most amazing private home to rent on airbnb - Schusters Lodge right on the banks of the stunning Howqua Valley River. We took a bunch of 7 adults & 2 toddlers in for 3 glorious nights.
PS - even though we were here in peak summer, this lodge would also make a wonderful winter holiday with its lovely fireplaces.
Always check fire regulations

This stunning location truly is the perfect private getaway with small children. The house is large, 2 stories and sleeps 12 guests with 3 bedrooms. It has a fully equiped kitchen & BBQ on the deck. Plenty of crockery and everything we needed.
The most amazing thing about this hidden gem - was the river that was literally a 1min walk from the house.
The river was deep & gentle and oh so swimmable! This spot truly is magic.

She Hunts hints

* This is an eco-lodge, powered by the sun and nourished by the rain. There is no mobile network, but there is a landline for emergencies & to check fire bans.

*The house is powered by solar panels and a 12v lighting system, which in turns powers the pump that feeds water into the house from a rainwater tank. There are gas bottles for cooking (stove top and oven) and a BBQ on the deck.

* Once you turn off the main highway, you drive down a very steep gravel road for about 40mins and lose all phone reception ☺

* There is a fireplace - we were there in very hot summer and could not light them due to bans

* Take in ALL your food & water, there are 2 fridges that are solar powered and we had more than enough food and space for 3 nights

* Its about a 2.5hr drive from Melbourne
