Jenny and family stayed at Mulberry House for 6 nights

Jenny said: ‘We have just spent a very relaxing week at Mulberry House in Rutherglen.  Our host Cheryl was  extremely accommodating and left food supplies and condiments. It really is helpful when staples are provided.  There was a modern kitchen for all our cooking needs.

We had great free WiFi and a big smart TV for lazy binge watching through the holidays. We barely got in the car because the town is an easy walk away.  There are plenty of options for eating and drinking in Rutherglen, given its notoriety as one of Victoria’s premier wine regions.

Our dog loved the safe and fully fenced backyard. The house had fabulous efficient evaporative cooling and excellent comfortable beds and lounges. We didnt try the heating but the heater in the lounge looked very inviting- maybe a trip back in winter.  The house size was perfect for a family of 4; I think a family of 6 would fit comfortably.

We definitely recommend Mulberry House and will certainly stay again’.

Arlene, family and friends stayed at Mulberry House for the weekend 

Arlene said: “Mulberry House is a perfect place to call home while visiting the Rutherglen area.  It is centrally located for an easy walk to town for food and shops and a great central base to the many wonderful wineries.  The house is fully equipped to cook meals at home to pair with all the great wine acquired during the day.  The backyard was perfect for our son to run around with our dog and where we spent the most time.  All the beds were extremely comfortable and we loved the ceiling fans at night.    Thanks for a wonderful stay – we will definitely be back to Rutherglen and to the Mulberry House. “

I would highly recommend Cheryl as a host and Mulberry House for a group retreat to Rutherglen’.

‘Thank you Cheryl for our terrific stay again in your home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rutherglen and it was nice to relax each night in your home after a day out. Mulberry House is perfect for our group and is a great location. Kind regards Leanne’.

‘Mulberry House was a perfect family holiday base for us with 2 children and a toddler. The house had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and in a perfect location to explore Rutherglen and surrounds. The outdoor setting was particularly lovely for unwinding and enjoying the warm weather. Cheryl was very easy to communicate with and made sure everything was ready for us. The bottle of local wine was a lovely touch too. Definitely recommend this place to others visiting the area’.

‘Mulberry House is a delightful holiday home in Rutherglen. It can easily accommodate x3 couples and is extremely comfortable. It is very close to the centre of Rutherglen and we had a great dinner at Taste and the chef drove us home – talk about service. The house has all the amenities you could possibly want for a comfortable holiday and is very easy to tour the surrounding areas from here and sample the wonderful wines in the district. Cheryl was great to deal with and very accommodating’.

Peta and friends stayed at Mulberry House a weekend and said:

‘Comfortable and convenient. We had a wonderful stay at Mulberry House in Rutherglen. The home was exceptional – modern and clean yet comfy and cosy, with all the necessary conveniences. And so central to everything Rutherglen has to offer! Only a short drive to many of the wineries, so we were able to visit so many! Cheryl’s communication was prompt and helpful. We would definitely stay at Mulberry House again. Peta

‘You have been so pleasant  to deal with right from the start, in accommodating our boys  weekend at Mulberry House.
When we arrived it was a surprise to see how clean and organised the house was.
I would like to thank you on behalf all the boys having provided such a great house with everything provided. Having the pantry filed up with all the essentials was a great help.

Nick and family stayed for a weekend and his daughter Larissa said: 

‘We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mulberry House. It was so close to amazing wineries and eateries. The town centre had many shops and cafes. They were all fantastic!

 
Following on, the heaters in the living room and bedrooms kept us warm everyday. Especially, when it was cold and crisp outside. The washing machine and dryer provided were very efficient and quick. A great way to keep our clothes clean.
We would definitely be back and certainly recommend Mulberry House to family and friends. Thank you for providing a lovely, warm, safe and cosy environment for us to create memorable family experiences.
 
Kind regards,
Larissa’
 

Steve and Debbie, Melbourne stayed 5 days:

‘A magnificent Rutherglen country home’.

‘Mulberry House is an absolute gem. It is beautifully presented and perfectly maintained. The bedrooms are very spacious and great mattresses, and the air-conditioning was superb for the hot days. Two bathrooms/toilets too !! Mulberry is only a 9 minute stroll to the main shopping strip and there’s a public swimming pool if you decide you want to cool off on the way !! You are right in the heart of all the great wineries of the region as well as short trips to Corowa, Wahgunyah, the Murray River, the historic town of Chiltern etc’.
‘It was always wonderful to come home each day to Mulberry House to enjoy a cool drink under the pergola in the backyard. Lots of magnificent birds to enjoy too – the cockatoos make a real song and dance at the caravan park at dusk if you don’t mind a 5 minute walk’.
‘A fantastic house and a sensational experience’. Steve and Debbie

We will definitely keep Mulberry house in mind for future visits to the area, and will be recommending it to our friends and family as a great place to stay’.

Frances and family stayed Mulberry House 4 nights for their son’s wedding weekend 

Frances rated Mulberry House as 5 Star and left a Review on Trip Advisor; as per below:

‘Mulberry House made our visit to Rutherglen for our son’s wedding perfect. All our family were able to stay together in the comfortable well appointed open plan home. Everything we needed was present in excess and in excellent condition. Very comfortable beds and air conditioning most appreciated. The highlight was the garden where we were able to hold pre wedding photos and the post wedding breakfast before all went on their ways home. Would recommend to all. We will visit again as we did not have enough time to do the wineries. Thanks Cheryl’.

‘Mulberry house was our base for our wedding weekend. Second marriage so blended children and friends to be accommodated to help with all the visitors. The house was able to accommodate all. Beds are very comfortable. Lounge and outdoor areas perfect. This house is also easy to keep clean which is a bonus when you have lots of visitors dropping by to wish you well.  Thank you Cheryl for letting us stay in this well appointed home.

‘Mulberry House was the best find. Great location, fabulous house, brilliant floor plan,It didn’t lack for anything’……says Sue from Melbourne 

‘We were at Rutherglen for our sons wedding.  Loved the new oak dining furniture and coffee table. Loved the outdoor patio area, all covered in should there be rain. Everything was user friendly. And so for us, it was a win win. The wedding was fabulous, so too was our accommodation.
In every respect, Cheryl went out of her way to accommodate us. Thanks Cheryl’!
Best wishes Sue

‘Perfect base for a Rutherglen district wedding’…says Marc from Canberra

 
‘Our son was recently married at one of the Rutherglen district wineries and we based ourselves at Mulberry House for the big day and a few days before and afterwards. A key factor in choosing the house was that it was only 10 mins drive to wedding venue and walking to the main street and shops at other times was easy. The house was perfect as we had various relatives with us from overseas and interstate and the extra space was very handy – all bedrooms are comfortably furnished. Cheryl was very helpful during the booking process and with guidance on local eateries and wineries for our group to visit on the other days we stayed. The house has almost every comfort for a week/weekend and some surprises such as fridge and pantry staple items.’
 

Jacqueline and 4 friends stayed for 2 nights in September and said:

John and friends from Adelaide stayed for 2 nights and said:

Superb Accommodation

 ‘Mulberry House is located in a quiet street which only has local traffic and is a pleasant ten minute walk or very quick drive from the Main street of Rutherglen.
 
The accommodation is impeccably clean, organised & tidy throughout the entire house.
The house is large & well laid out and with, for our group of five males over 60, spacious living areas & bedrooms so that we were not living on top of each other & could have our own space when needed. The kitchen includes an extensive range of cutlery, cooking utensils, appliances etc. in which, unlike some places, everything works and is easy to find. The house is very well furnished & equipped throughout the living & sleeping areas along with bathrooms etc of which the later included all the toiletries & towels that we needed & all of good quality.
 
Cheryl is a terrific host who is easily accessible but not intrusive. She provided us with a range of information including on local wineries and places to eat which decidedly improved our two days around Rutherglen. Without Cheryl’s input our trip would have been poorer.
 
 Finally, as our stay was in winter & although the house is large, we had no trouble in keeping it warm throughout’

Helen and extended family (8 Guests) stayed 3 & 4 August 2017, and said:

‘We had a great family reunion here.  This is the best provisioned house any of us have stayed in, both in terms of pantry items and towels/blankets. Communication with Cheryl was very easy and we appreciated the additional heater she supplied, a perfect level of being available but not interfering. A flat walk into town of 10 – 15 minutes (depending on your fitness) and lots of wineries nearby. We also got pizza delivered. Highly recommend this accommodation’.

Lyn and 5 friends from Ballarat stayed for 3 nights

The location is also great, within easy walking to the township.
 

Janine and friends stayed for a Weekend and said:

Lovely accommodation

We spent a weekend here and couldn’t fault our stay. This well kept house and grounds provided an open, comfortable base for our sightseeing. With the weather cooling this was not an issue. The outside area would be great in the warmer weather. Would readily recommend this place.

Claire and her family stayed at Mulberry House for 3 nights  to attend a wedding in Rutherglen.   Claire said:

Mulberry house is lovely! We visited  Rutherglen for a wedding and decided to bring our parents along to help us look after the kids and also enjoy some time together.
The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with all the essential items. Cheryl goes the extra length by providing plenty of towels and blankets, complimentary shampoo and conditioner
