Flophouse Accommodation

24/01/2025

Checking in on River House today. It’s available to book now via the “book now” feature on our site but not officially up on the main page until February when we have it photographed. Meanwhile, the summer discount of 20% off applies if you want to book a stay directly in this magical house and location by the river and the Kyneton botanical gardens. Simply enter SUMMEROFFER at checkout. Thanks to owners who truly love their home for letting us share it with guests while they work away for a few years. It’s a real privilege to stay here. Highly recommended for a restorative new years sojourn. We’ve tagged a few of our collaborators to help you plan a visit 🍀💚

Thanks to our superstar, uber talented team member Jenness for designing these posters that will be up in the big smoke. We love summer and want to share the secret of how wonderful it is here over the months between December and February. Avoiding the beach crowds in place of cool, green hills, waterholes and exceptional food and wine is an excellent way to reset after a tricky 2024. It’s been tough for most people and to help ensure more of you get a holiday we have kicked off our summer campaign offering 20% on all stays! Plus, if you see one of our around town between the 21/12 - 3/1 and tag yourself and a friend (both following ), telling us why you need a holiday you will go in the running for a $1000 voucher to come away with us. We will let you know who the prize winner is on the 8/1. Happy hunting…

We are busy sending out GIft Vouchers. They are available online in various denominations but, if you want a hard copy you’d better get cracking. Monday is the official deadline… 🎄🎄🎄

Just finished We Are the Stars by Gina Chick , a recent guest and presenter at . What a rich read. I can’t believe the depth of Gina’s experiences and her ability to open herself up to the gamut of love, grief, friendship, sickness, survival and thriving as a woman on her own unique path. My eleven year old niece, Ramona was awestruck to meet Gina in person as was I after meeting her on the pages of this 📕. It would make a wonderful Christmas present. 💜
