About this property

Yarra Valley Dream Country Escape - 10 mins from Yarra Glen

Holiday in a modern and spacious country escape in the heart of the Yarra Valley wine region. A 13 acre property all yours to enjoy. Located to allow you to either take in the peace and quiet of your own country property or explore the best of the yarra valley, located within 10 - 15 minutes of Yarra Glen, Healesville and Kinglake and close to a range of wineries and walks in the Toolangi state forest. A modern home decked out to suit large family getaways or special intimate weekends.

The house is 14 years old and still looks almost 'as new'. It has tiled floors throughout the living areas and carpet in all of the bedrooms. It also has a large double garage which contains a table tennis table and the house also comes with ducted heating and cooling and you also have access to a fire pit and wood heater for indoors. We provide a wheelbarrow of wood for fires and there's lots of wood available amongst the trees if you run out.

The house and the 13 acres are all yours to enjoy as part of the stay (with the exception of locked sheds containing farming equipment).

Great Stay in the Yarra Valley

Katrina & Ian's house in Castella is a wonderfully quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. It's close enough to a heap of wineries in the Yarra Valley but far enough to feel like you're away from it all. Katrina & Ian were lovely, easy to talk to and very friendly. I would highly recommend!

Our favourite weekend home in the Yarra valley

My group of 12 were lucky enough to stay in this beautiful family property for our weekend away! A short drive from some great wineries, our group enjoyed the large and most importantly clean property all to ourselves. The house was so clean and spacious and we all enjoyed making the most of the decked out kitchen. Katrina and Ian, really made our stay fantastic, they have been some of the best hosts that we’ve ever contacted through stayz. We couldn’t recommend this property enough for the most perfect mix of relaxation and comfort, to the prime location.

Excellent

We had a lovely stay in a very comfortable house. It was very private due to being on acreage which we loved. Communication with the host was excellent and the host was very obliging. The house was clean and bright. I gave a 4 for 'Accuracy on Listing' due to there being no hot tub but everything else was as described. We had a few games of table tennis which was fun. There is some amazing wineries close by to visit and not far away was the very popular chocolatier. We would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Katrina

Host profile image
This is our family holiday property so we hope you enjoy your stay. We typically have Christmas dinner under the birch trees on the front lawn so it's a favourite family getaway for us. We are a family of 6, with our kids mainly grown up now but it's not uncommon for us to have 10+ people up on a weekend to enjoy the property. We enjoy it in both summer and winter but a favourite of everyone's is to sit around the fire pit in winter on a cool night and just enjoy watchcing the flames and catching up with friends.

Why they chose this property

The house is relatively brand new and has ever only been used as a country getaway. It is situated in a beautiful location... it provides privacy and a wonderful spot just to stop and relax - we find what most of our friends seem to enjoy doing most is sitting around the fire pit on the main lawn and enjoying the view and good company around the open fire. Having said that, it is well located to easily access all of the great facilities the Yarra Valley has to offer (e.g. wineries, walks, great restaurants, bike-riding (motor or push) and is 10 - 15 minutes from Yarra Glen, Healesville and Kinglake). You have the full 13 acres to yourself when you stay so you can also enjoy a quiet walk on the property or venture into the Toolangi state forest at the entrance to the property. We hope you'll 'enjoy the serenity' as much as we do :) Please respect our request that it not be treated as a party house... we're very happy for people to enjoy celebrating with friends (we've had a number of guests who have stayed and prepared for weddings in the Yarra Valley) but if you're looking for somewhere to party all night this is probably not the place for you.

What makes this property unique

A unique benefit of this property is that you can enjoy the 13 acres all to yourself. You are likely to find at the front of the property you may also share it with a herd of kangaroos or families of ducks on the dam but for the most part its all yours. You can also walk straight out the front door into the Toolangi State Forest. Apart from that we like to think the view from the front of the house is good enough that most people are happy to spend hours just enjoying it and re-charging your batteries.
