Yarra Valley Vineyard Cottage - premier location with spectacular views.

Beautiful, bright and lovely cottage set amongst a stunning Yarra Valley vineyard. Within walking distance to premier wineries, food hubs and concerts, such as Coldstream Hills, Yarra Yering, Medhurst and Oakridge, and an 8 minute drive to Coombe and Healesville.

The cottage has a gorgeous open living kitchen, dining and sitting room. There is a new bathroom with separate bath and shower, two toilets, generous bedrooms with two queen size beds and luxury linen.

The cottage also has a sunroom with option to request for sofa double bed to be set up with luxury linen for guests (extra $70 per person per night).

*** Bedroom 3 remains a sunroom unless 5 guests are selected at the time of booking, in which case the sofabed will automatically be added. For bookings of 1- 4 people, the sofa bed will only be set up upon request.

Opening on to back deck, edged with vegetable, herb and flower garden, there is also a laundry with washing machine and dryer. Outdoor bath and shower overlooking the vineyard and hills beyond provide relaxing 'en plein air' bathing.

Back deck and front verandah catch the morning and afternoon sun respectively for coffee or a cold ale, g&t, or glass of wine.

Inspired by musicians, writers, teachers, designers, and farmers who have all lived in the cottage over four generations, the cottage is private, and surrounded by vines and rolling pastures. The views are sensational and the vibe is relaxing. The owners currently live on the property so are always just a phone call away.

This beautiful getaway is only one hour from Melbourne. Lilydale airport is only a 10 minute drive away for those who would like airport access.

Other add-ons we can arrange to enhance your stay:
Private wine tastings with local winemakers for serious wine drinkers and buyers
Flowers to order

We want to make your stay as comfortable and as relaxed as possible. In light of current health requirements we wish to reassure you that, before each stay, the cottage is given a deep clean by professional cleaners, and all linen is professionally laundered. The health and safety of our guests are paramount.

Sweet cottage feels
We had a delightful stay. The cottage is so quaint and had all the items we needed for our stay. We had the extra room made up for a bed as there were 3 of us and it worked out so well as we all had our own room. The fire was lovely. Little bunnies hopping in the yard, the lemon tree with fresh lemons and the chocolate fudge left for us were highlights. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash were a really special extra treat. Instructions were spot on and Jenny was extremely easy to contact should we need anything. Would definitely recommend. 5 starts from us!

A Dream Stay
This was the prettiest place I have ever stayed in. Right on the vineyards with a large back and front garden and cows and horses nearby. The house itself was very cosy and comforting and had everything we needed and more. Jenny was a great host with great communication. I couldn't recommend this stay more. The kitchen amenities were great and modern, we loved all the puzzles and games and the bathroom was a great size and we appreciated the shampoo, conditioner etc. provided. Only think I would note is that you may need a sleeping mask as the sun and moon can be very bright through the blinds! Absolutely loved our stay.

This cottage is so lovely, and Jenny was the perfect host. (Even bringing us figs from her tree). We had such a great time, laughing, chatting and drinking wine in front of the open fire. In the morning, we woke up to the view of cows and vineyard. We will be back. We all wished we could move in! 😊

The most perfect getaway
Escaping life for a few nights we found the most perfect cottage. Full character and charm, a private oasis. Immaculately presented, comfortable and luxurious. We loved the Open Fire, perfect on the cold winer night. After exploring the nearby wineries and food options we spent both nights in relaxing. Quality bed linen, towels etc. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this amazing piece of paradise.

Well located for winery visiting. Spacious comfortable property, vineyard one side, cattle grazing the other side. Only suggestions would be some breakfast condiments to spread on the excellent bread and a bigger TV than 32 "
