10 Unique Reasons to visit Hodgson House
We keep asking our guests why they come to Hodgson House, Echuca's
B&B on the Murray River and here are the most common answers to what
makes a visit to Hodgson House unique:
 | The River. It's there, just a peaceful 150 metre walk through the
red gum forest with no roads to cross - yes, the Murray River is waiting for
you! |
| Murray River landscape. Just sit by the riverside picnic table with
a bottle of wine and take in a sunset. Enjoy the passing parade of boats or
simply watch a duck float by. Is there a better, real Australian outback experience? |
| River red gums. The trees come up to the house, they're a highlight
of the garden and they are lit at night - you don't get views like that in
motels or apartments. Then there's the 400 year old box gum, right next to
the house that's a haven for birds! |
| Birds. The kookaburras are always mentioned. rosellas,
corellas, choughs, magpies, butcherbirds, mudlarks, ducks, honeyeaters, galahs and even an
occasional owl. There's so many come to visit. |
| River walk to Echuca. It's 3.5 kilometres by the Murray River
walk - along the Murray to the junction of the Campaspe River and then
follow it to the historic Port of Echuca - easy! So much better than
staying in a suburban street. |
| The quiet. Yes, there are frogs and sometimes a kookaburra or a
magpie will wake you in the morning but its easy to sleep or simply to sit
outside and watch the stars. |
| The sky. You don't get the biggest show on earth in towns - there's
sunrise, sunset, the moon and of course, the stars. Our clear evenings make
it easy to sit and watch for a shooting star! |
| Sleep. Fussy sleepers invariably love the comfortable beds and the
dark rooms at night. A good night's sleep followed by a hearty breakfast and
you're ready to explore. |
| Space. Hard to explain but when you live in a city and then come to
a house set on 2.5 acres with a nature reserve next door, you've got room to
escape and enjoy the fresh air. |
| Open fires in the guest lounge. The redgum fire in the lounge with
a glass of port and a chocolate is a perfect end to a long day. In the
winter you can have a fire by the river and in the summer swim in the heated
pool and enjoy the view. |
