Jenny and family stayed at Mulberry House from 28 December 2020 to 4 January 2021
Jenny said: ‘We have just spent a very relaxing week at Mulberry House in Rutherglen. Our host Cheryl was extremely accomodating and left food supplies and condiments. It really is helpful when staples are provided. There was a BBQ and 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 Friday 27 November 2020 to Sunday 29 November 2020
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. ”

‘Mulberry House is a delightful holiday home in Rutherglen. It can easily accomodate 4 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 accomodating’.

‘A magnificent Rutherglen country home’.
‘Mulberry House is an absolute gem. It is beautifully presented and perfectly maintained. The pantry was fully stocked and a beautiful bottle of wine chilled awaiting us after our trip from Melbourne. 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

Superb Accommodation
Helen and extended family (8 Guests) stayed 3 & 4 August 2017, and said:
‘We had a great family reunion here. The kitchen is well stocked and we especially appreciated the milk, fruit and local bottle of red wine. This is the best provisioned house any of us have stayed in, both in terms of pantry items and towels/blankets. The outdoor space would be fantastic in better weather. Sadly we couldn’t take advantage. 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’.

‘Loved our stay!’
My sister and I had a wedding to attend close by and this property suited us perfectly. It was clean, neat and had all the amenities we required. It was great having the two bathrooms so it was a lot easier to get ready in the mornings. The main strip of shops were also very close and within walking distance, so it was nice to get out and explore in the mornings. The property owner Cheryl was was very attentive and checked in prior to our stay to ensure everything was on track and we had what we needed. We’d definitely stay again, it was very comfortable, a home away from home.
A wonderful property!
We had an absolute ball at Mulberry house. Perfect layout for families, beautifully appointed and an absolutely stunning garden and outdoor area. Cheryl has created a warm and inviting home away from home and has been wonderful to deal with. She thought of so many lovely little touches to make our stay special. The main street is within easy walking distance and of course so many great wineries are so close. Thanks for having us Cheryl, we can’t wait to come back!
Madison and 5 guests stayed at Mulberry House 9th & 10th December, 2016:
‘ A seriously amazing stay in Rutherglen! Me and my family were up there for my brothers wedding at a winery and Cheryl’s place was just perfect. She was fantastic from the word go with a few questions around the house before I booked, and we were definitely not disappointed during our stay. Comfy beds, well furnished house and a fantastic backyard for having bacon and eggs on bbq and sitting out in the sun under the pergola. Every little detail in the house was perfect – from nice towels, to little jams and everything you needed was there. It was literally a 30 second drive from the main street and only 10-15 minutes away from the wineries. I highly recommend staying at Cheryls and if we were to come back to Rutherglen we wouldn’t consider anywhere else. Thanks so much Cheryl!’

Everything was clean and neat. The kitchen was fully equipped with useful items and basic food needs which was appreciated (tea, coffee, milk, butter, spreads etc). Cheryl always responded quickly when I contacted her and made sure we were aware well in advance of the check in process. This made our visit incredibly easy and I would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever visit the area again’.

Naomi and wedding party stayed 16 March to 19 March – this is what they said about Mulberry House –
‘We used Mulberry House as the base for the weekend of our best friends wedding. During our stay, we were so impressed with our accommodation and all of our friends and family visiting over the weekend made so many lovely compliments about Mulberry House. The home was beautifully presented and Cheryl has thought of everything to make you feel at home. The beds are very comfortable, there are plenty of quality towels and linen provided and in general the home is spacious and full of natural light. On the morning of the wedding we had up to 20 people in Mulberry House helping get ready and at no time did we feel ‘packed in’. There is a large alfresco area out the back surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after some big days. Cheryl was so easy and efficient to communicate with, she made the whole process very simple and to top it off she left 2 delicious bottles of complimentary sparkling wine from a local winery in the fridge for us to celebrate our special occasion. It was such a personal touch a thoughtful gesture. We all agreed we had made the perfect choice in accommodation for the wedding and can not recommend the Mulberry House enough if you are looking for a home away from home to prepare for your big day’.
