My daughter and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay in Rob and Annie’s house in Derby. We rode the mtb trails during the day and came back to a hot shower or bath and relaxing by the fireplace. Being city gals who had never lit a fire in their lives we enlisted the help of some fellow mtb’ers we met on the trails who turned up to our house and showed us how it was done! My daughter took over the sofa in the lounge room but there were plenty of comfy chairs and my favourite spot was a little sofa in the kitchen in the afternoon with the sun streaming in, a great reading nook! The large windows give a great view of the countryside. A highlight for us was coming home from dinner at the pub up the road and seeing the native marsupial ‘pademelon’ bounding all over our lawn. A real treat for city dwellers. Top tip from the hosts were to pick up supplies from Branxholm the neighbouring town as Derby is small and shops close early and supplies are limited . Also, Vodafone doesn’t work in Derby so you will need a Telstra pre paid which you can get from IGA in Branxholm. We would definitely love to come back!
