The space
Wild Fauna is a luxury eco-friendly getaway in Merrijig set in a peaceful and picturesque location. Kangaroos, deer and birdlife surround the house and the elusive wombats and emus can also be seen in the area.

This large stylish modern lodge has a spacious, open plan living area with large deck and fantastic views. Equipped for 10 it is perfect for families and friends.
There is a play room with a TV, DVD player, DVDs and games.
The laundry/mud room has an adjoining ski storage room providing plenty of space for all your gear and equipment and there is a secure bicycle storage area under the house.
A Nespresso coffee machine is available in the kitchen with a few pods provided. (please bring your own extra pods).

Merrijig’s close proximity to the popular Alpine ski resorts make this an ideal place to stay in winter for some of the best winter sports in Victoria; the entrance gate to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling is just 6 minutes away by car or there is a bus stop at the bottom of the road offering regular trips up to Mt Buller if you would prefer not to drive.

Spring, Summer and Autumn bring endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, horse riding and 4 wheel driving or just sit back and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the high country. The Delatite river runs along the Buller road at the bottom of the hill and provides picture perfect walks or paddling on the warm summer days. Lake Eildon has many access points and some are approximately 40 minutes away if you are bringing the boat for summer water sports.

Other things to note:
The nearest main supermarkets and petrol stations are in Mansfield so stock up when you pass through – Mansfield is about 20 mins away. The Merrijig Motor Inn has basic grocery supplies and the Mirimbah store and café, near the Mt Buller gate has 24hr petrol.
During the winter months you will most likely need wheel chains to access Mt Buller – these can be hired from the Mirimbah Store at the resort gate. If you have low profile tyres you will need to hire chains from the Merrijig Motor Inn.
There are also plenty of equipment hire stores in Mansfield. Our favourite, to avoid the crowds, is Sebel Ski and Equipment hire just 5 minutes away.
