About this property

The Faraway House: Large family home - Walk to the river + Bring the boat!

The Faraway House (ironically - very close to everything in Mildura) is a freshly renovated spacious home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, dedicated workspace + large outdoor entertainment area designed for family & friends to re-connect and explore everything that Mildura has to offer.
With the river a short stroll away, make the most of the nearby walking tracks along the riverfront & parklands. Watch the paddleboats go by and coffee hop your way through each of the unique cafes along the way.

The space
The Faraway House is a well thought out, bright and comfortable home that you will want to visit all-year-round. For the summer months the house features evaporative cooling throughout the interior and ceiling fans in every room. In the winter months snuggle up by the slow combustion fireplace. And if you need to quickly warm up your toes on a chilly evening, don’t worry we have split systems too! The house features a games room/garage – which is also fitted with evaporative cooling and a ceiling fan to keep you cool from the Mildura heat. Grab a book and relax in the hammock or enjoy a variety of games available such as ring toss, totem tennis and velcro ball. The family favourite for the kids (and the dads) is of course, the ping pong table. You’re welcome!

Our bedrooms are made up of:
1x King with ensuite (includes split system)
1 x Queen (includes split system)
1x Double and (includes Dyson heat/cool unit)
1 optional pull-out sofa bed for up to 8 guests to stay if required. (includes split system)
All beds are thoughtfully fitted with luxury bedding and bathrooms are stocked with lush towels. There is a separate toilet to the main bathroom.

The Faraway House includes fast speed wifi, multiple USB charging points, BBQ, smart TV’s in the lounge, outdoor entertaining area and double bedroom – all compatible with your favourite streaming apps. Staying at the Faraway House includes complimentary access to Disney +.

In the kitchen you will find everything that you need whether you’re after the ultimate home away from home experience or a quick getaway.
Coffee-a-holics will appreciate the well-stocked Nespresso machine and a Nutribullet is available for all the smoothie lovers!

This is your space to unwind, connect with regional Victoria and enjoy life’s simple pleasures with loved ones whilst enjoying all the convenience of being close enough to walk or ride to the riverfront, parks, local shops and cafés. Head out for a morning stroll and brunch by the river or pack a picnic and spend the afternoon under a palm tree.

The Arts Centre, Mildura Station Homestead & Lock 11 are all at your doorstep whilst the City Centre and the family-friendly Apex Park River Beach (with boat ramp) is a 25 minute stroll or 3 min drive.

Guest access
The Faraway House has self-check in and an abundance of on-site remote controlled secure parking with enough room for up to 5 cars. And for the bigger boats + caravans, the extra-wide driveway can accommodate space for another 2 vehicles/trailers.
The remote door carport clearance dimensions are:
2600 (w) x 2100 (h)

Relaxing getaway
Lovely tidy & welcoming property with all you could need. Plenty to do in Mildura - we didn't fit it all in & hope to be back. Ambling along the Murray was a delight & very easy from this location. Hosts kept good communication & we were well looked after.

Fantastic property and owners
The Faraway House was the perfect place to stay for my work trip. The beds were very comfortable, and with a few hot days, the air conditioning worked very well. The hosts even left it running before we arrived for our comfort! We unfortunately didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space or games very much, except for some TV in the evening, however we enjoyed our time in the house nonetheless. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Super relaxing and comfortable
Amazing house with every space thoughtfully designed for luxury and comfort. Also, a nice quiet location with a very short walk to river parkland. Penny and Rick were great hosts with clear communication, instructions and also pleasantly surprising us by leaving a very generous gift of a bottle of wine and bread to enjoy during our stay. Highly recommend - thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Faraway House!

Faraway house -home away from home
We stay in Mildura often and this is the best place we have stayed. Perfect for our family and trips to the river with our boat. It was a very hot week but the house was set up perfectly to accommodate our family. We could come home from the river, unpack the boat, organise dinner and then relax outside under the pergola while the kids played table tennis in the shed. Would definitely recommend for families. Close to the river and not far from supermarkets. Everyone felt at home and we all enjoyed our stay.

The perfect family friendly stay!
We had an incredible stay at The Faraway House in Mildura! This property exceeded all our expectations, perfectly catering to our large family of 7 (5 kids!). The house was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The Faraway House truly felt like a home away from home. The spacious layout and family-friendly amenities made it ideal for our clan. We appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches that made our stay so relaxing. We highly recommend The Faraway House to any family seeking a warm and welcoming base in Mildura. We can't wait to return!
