About this property

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).

*** Sofa bed area remains a sunroom unless 5 guests are selected at the time of booking, in which case the sofa bed 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
Private driver
Babysitter

House rules:
No pets...this is a working cattle, sheep and vineyard property. No large functions.

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.

A gorgeous place to stay in the Yarra Valley, very comfortable and picturesque. Jenny was a great host and helped us out with some local recommendations. There were a few lovely local products provided which we enjoyed. The outdoor bath was divine and added a relaxing touch to our stay. Highly recommend!

Spectacular location with super short drives to terrific wineries (and about 12 minutes to Healsville). Lovely modern property, two great bedrooms, solid wi-fi and a wonderful open kitchen. Jenny was great to deal with and we really appreciated the welcome bread/eggs. Well worth your time in the Yarra Valley.

THE place to stay in the heart of the Yarra Valley.

Thanks to Jenny & Chris for looking after us so well. A beautiful place we called home for a couple of nights. Stocked with everything you need from a bed and breakfast. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, amazing shower, local product as treats and fresh flowers, makes for a must visit. We both had such a relaxing stay and can’t wait to get back there.

Stunning Yarra location, with exquisitely tasted home.

Upon arrival at the cottage we were met by Jennifer, and a wonderful spread of local fare. The cottage was spacious, clean and every detail had a classy feel. Comfortable beds, and to be woken with views of vineyards and Angus cattle was magnificent. We would not hesitate to book again if we were in the Yarra valley.

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! 😊

A beautiful cottage nestled in the countryside

We had a really lovely time at the cottage. It is really clean, and in a very beautiful location. The day was hot when we checked in, but Jenny even had the air conditioning on so that we got instant relief once we got in. 2 days later, the weather was really cold so we opted to get the heater going, and the place was equally cosy when needed. Dishwasher, fridge, bathroom and bedrooms were all clean, our stay was a pleasure.
