Tranquil weekend away

Thank you for the wonderful stay! It was the perfect spot for a weekend get away. So peaceful and calm with the sounds of nature all around. Warburton is a charming town and we particularly enjoyed the walks in the surrounding mountains.

Lovely midweek getaway

Spent a few days in this lovely cabin after Labour Day. Cannot recommend it enough. Meeting the property’s alpacas and dogs was definitely a highlight. Warburton town itself is lovely.

Lovely cabin getaway

Me and my partner stayed here for our 2 year anniversary and it was lovely to have this wonderful cottage all to ourselves. Really nice cd and dvd selection with a really cozy lounge to enjoy both. Bathtub was a lovely experience but the shower left a little to be desired, overall though a experience I'll look back on fondly for a long time.

The feel of seclusion only a few min from town

I saw deers and rabbits driving up to the cottage. It’s so close to town yet in the middle of nature. So much wildlife around. Cottage maintains a distinctive charm. Must be ok with some spiders though! LOVED sitting on the porch and wandering to the creek in town. Main house is not far away but it is on the blind side of the cottage and Hazel leaves you with complete privacy.

Very Quaint cottage in beautiful peaceful surroundings! Just perfect!

Secluded Clean house with all you need nestled in the hilltops with beautiful views. Minutes drive from Warburton with plenty to do and see. LaLa Falls a must see and good trek. Redwood Forrest is a wow factor and nothing like we have seen before. Take a picnic 🧺 blanket and sit within to take it all in. Drive to Mt Donna Buang just beautiful as all the drive around Warburton. The Hotel has great parmigiana selections with friendly kookaburras hovering for left overs. If you want to get away from the city life, come to Sleepy Wombat Cottage.

WOWWW!!!!! This place is the most relaxing place i have ever been too in my 50yrs of living. I recommend this, if you want peace and quiet, and the luxury of Australia's bush views!!! Simply magical!!!!! Everything in the little cottage is there for you, it made me feel at home. Thank you to the owners... I personally would give more stars if there was an option. 10/10.

Lovely place, but some maintenance would be good

This stay has such a potential (e.g. close to Melbourne and nearby town, yet secluded enough among forest), but pity looks a bit neglected. The mosquito mesh door was hanging on a one top hinge only, the sofa cover was stained and need a wash for a long time etc. These small issues should be easy to address and this can make staying in the cottage more pleasant.

Cosy & Romantic Cottage

Arriving at the Cottage we felt so invited with the music playing and fire already lit for us. Very comfy bed and Couch! We loved the spa bath and watching dvds in front of the fire. The alfresco area was peaceful seeing all the wildlife and smelling the fresh air. It would be a perfect honeymoon getaway !

Great place - quiet location

We had a great weekend, very private. Location is perfect if your looking for somewhere to get away. Cabin was very clean with welcome music quietly playing. Quality toiletries provided. We were visited by kookaburras in the morning and seen wallabys on the drive up to the cabin. Would love to return and highly recommend it.
