Saddle up for a unique stay at Howqua Lodge's accommodation, The Stables.
This beautifully converted horse stable offers guests comfortable and charming lodgings in the heart of the High Country.
Relaxed Group Stays in the High Country
At The Stables, we offer a group accommodation that feels both authentic and comfortable - a unique escape where you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the bush.
Originally a working horse stable, this character-filled building has been transformed into a warm, self-contained lodge perfect for large families, groups of friends, or club getaways.
Whether you're here for a 4WD or trail bike adventure, a fishing trip, or just a weekend away from the city, The Stables offers the perfect base to explore the High Country and Lake Eildon.
