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 the occasional 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.
Due our extraordinary location of outstanding natural beauty, size and flexibility, we now offer our accommodation for intimate gatherings such as weddings, birthdays, milestone anniversaries and corporate events. Now with the introduction of a Play Shack® events coordinator we have everything covered - photographer, wedding planner, personal chef to come to the property to deliver or prepare and serve gourmet meal for all tastes. A special treat and very affordable. Why not go all the way & let David our local Helicopter pilot collect you from Play Shack®'s door step for an amazing adventure over Mt Buller and even a mountaintop landing for a memorable outing and some fantastic family photos.
After 17 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. From the first round of drinks on the house at a local restaurant and pub, discount snow board and ski equipment hire, discount local Beauty Day Spa, to free coffee and treats to mention only a few. Not to forget your furry friend, who gets a complimentary bath and nail clip at a 5 star pet resort on the way to Play Shack® .
