Merribee provides the space, you bring it to life.
For generations, Merribee stood privately on the plains of the Riverina. Every stone was laid by hand using sandstone quarried from its own soil, a work of care and craftsmanship that has endured for over a century.
In 2026, Merribee opens its gates for the first time, not as a commercial venue but as a living home where guests are invited to write the next chapter.
Here, past and present meet in quiet harmony.
Every visit adds to its story. Every gathering leaves a trace.
This is not just a place to stay. It is a place to belong.
