Meningie Homestead: Genießen Sie einen Landurlaub am Ufer des Tambo-Flusses

Meningie Homestead is the quintessential country homestead perched atop a hill looking out over rolling hills, mountains, and the Tambo River Valley.  Spacious and filled with country charm and character,  the name "Meningie" is derived from the Aboriginal word for mud, suiting home perfectly with it's earthy mudbrick and bush pole construction.

Well set up for a large family or group of friends with six bedrooms and five bathrooms across two wings and plenty of space and privacy for all.  The central kitchen, dining, and living room provides space for large group meals and celebrations, and there is a pool table and rustic bar to enhance your evenings.  Plenty of stories have been told around the outdoor firepit while enjoying the night sky and starry nights. The fire pit is well positioned near the BBQ along with ample outdoor furniture.

Meningie Homestead is also pet friendly, with an outdoor pet-safe area to leave your dogs if you need to head off for shopping or visit the nearby Metung Hot Springs or the local Tambo and Nicholson wineries.

A rustic fence separates the manicured lawn from the pastures which roll down to the private beach on the Tambo River.  The path down to the beautiful Tambo is well-marked for vehicles or walking.  Your group can enjoy swimming, kayaking (byo) and fishing in the river.  Enjoy the seating area in the shade if you prefer to relax and take in the view, or the large mowed area perfect for a family game of cricket or Aussie Rules.

For those who adore nature you will enjoy the riverbank revegetation and the billabong/ wetland which are being lovingly restored by the owners.  The wetland area is abundant with birdlife and it is not unusual to see the Wedge Tailed Eagles, Kites, and Falcons flying overhead.  Wedge Tailed Eagles are the largest bird of prey in the continent of Australia and we have a resident pair nesting nearby.

The Homestead is right on the East Gippsland Rail Trail for safe riding away from any cars. Take your bikes on a leisurely ride to nearby Bruthen for lunch and a drink at the Bullant Brewery, or head to Nicholson where you can cross the historic rail bridge.

There is plenty to do in and around Bumberrah - Wineries, Metung Hot Springs, Buchan Caves, and Koala Walk Raymond Island.  The Homestead is 10 minutes by car to Bruthen and Metung, and 15 minutes to Lakes Entrance.

We note that many guests find Meningie Homestead very relaxing with plenty to do.  It’s not uncommon for guests to spend most of their time on the property to take advantage of the chance to wind down and spend quality time relaxing with friends and family.
