Merrijig · Victoria's High Country
A cosy 70s cabin on the banks of the Delatite River. River swims, mountain views, crackling fires. This is High Country paradise.
Welcome to the 'jig
Warm your tootsies by the fire after a day spent on the slopes. Or cool off in the river after a day of hiking or mountain biking. No matter the season, rest and recharge with the sounds of the river flowing past and the gum tree green vista.
Our little chalet can sleep up to 8, though it's best suited for 4–6 guests given its cosy nature and single bathroom. It's retro, well-loved, and full of creature comforts — a pantry stocked with more than just salt and pepper, beautiful linens and shower products, phone chargers, and electric blankets on every bed.
We choose sustainability. Please use all amenities wisely and make sure everything is switched off on your departure. Self check-in via key safe, from 3:00 pm. Checkout by 10:00 am.

Guest Reviews
Absolutely stunning spot right on the river. The cabin is so cosy and well-appointed. We spent our mornings sitting on the deck listening to the water. Will definitely be back.
EmmaJan 2026Perfect winter getaway. The fire was roaring when we arrived and the beds were incredibly comfortable with the electric blankets. Loved the retro character of the place.
MarkJul 2025Sarah is a wonderful host. The cabin is exactly as pictured and the location is unbeatable. We swam in the river every day and explored Mansfield for dinner. Heaven.
RachelDec 2025The most peaceful stay. Waking up to birdsong and river sounds was exactly what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and the pantry staples were a lovely touch.
JamesNov 2025We used this as our base for a Mt Buller ski trip. Perfect location, only a short drive to the mountain. Came home to a warm cabin each night. Couldn't ask for more.
SophieAug 2025Such a charming place with real character. The 70s vibe is done so well. Our kids loved playing by the river and we loved the peace and quiet in the evenings.
