Stoke the fire and take in the views from every window, relax on the balcony or in the courtyard, enjoy a BBQ with mountain backdrops, or gather around the firepit under the stars.

Beautiful scenery in a peaceful town

Beautiful accommodation, stunning location. River access had a fallen tree, but added some adventure to our trip! The skylight windows are just gorgeous, an amazing way to wake in the morning. Love the facilities provided and practical things like pillows, plates, cutlery, picnic basket etc Bedroom fan needs some attention, but not a hot weekend so all good x

Beautiful location and very quiet. Small cottage was perfect for 2 people with a great view of the mountains out the window. Sat on the back porch watching birds in the trees. The only thing was the path to the river was blocked so we could not access. There were plenty of other nearby opportunities go get to the river though. Totallly relaxing with comfortable beds, couch and outside area.

About the host

Hosted by Joshua

Host profile image
We are an adventure-seeking couple, well travelled, between us we have visited over 35 countries.

Why they chose this property

-We are on acerage and therefore your views are of the gardens and the mountains.
-Many properties in Warburton are also very steep and have limited parking, we are on flat land and parking is not limited.
-We also are available around the property if you need us most of the time.
-We offer a 'hobby farm' experience as you will often see the tractor or lawnmowers around, especially in Spring and Summer.
-There is a safe and large area for kids to kick the footy or ride their bikes and although we are near the road, it is fenced between the road and the main property.

What makes this property unique

🌸 We are in a quiet area just a few minutes from Warburton.

🌸 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING available via 10amp power point located next to vehicle parking. BYO charger plug

🌸 We have very quiet neighbors and everything is fairly private. We're located directly on the Yarra River, here you can simply walk down the property and have your own private picnic and sitting area.

🌸 It is peaceful and away from the business of the town, yet very close by to attend all attractions.

🌸 We are also only 4 minutes from the Redwoods Forrest by car and Warburton Water World Park.
