RIVER SONG - A NATURE RETREAT IN WARBURTON
RIVER SONG - A NATURE RETREAT IN WARBURTON
Tucked away in the lush greenery of Warburton, River Song is a peaceful retreat nestled beside the Yarra. The modernised 100-year-old cottage sits on spacious, private grounds filled with fern trees, mature plantings, and a garden with the same hundred-year heritage. It’s a feast for all the senses: the sound of running water from the creek, filtered forest light, fresh mountain air, and abundant birdlife.
This is a home that invites you to slow down, unclench your shoulders, and reconnect with what matters. It’s the perfect hideaway for nature lovers, art lovers… or just lovers. ;)
The artist owner uses the property as both a studio and muse, with original artworks displayed throughout. An artist residency program is in development, but for now you are warmly welcome to sketch, paint, write, or create to your heart’s content while staying at River Song.

BBQ
Alfresco dining and lounging areas
Garden and creek walks throughout the property

Lush, private grounds with ferns, mature trees, and winding paths

Fully equipped kitchen with cooktop, oven, and island bench
Soothing bathroom with deep spa bath
Hardwood floors, French doors, and peaceful, earthy tones
