Idyllwylde: pet-friendly, renovated vintage cabin, close to town and river
January bookings now available! Experience river play and swimming on your doorstep!
Experience a summer getaway in our delightful 1950s cabin, nestled close to the river, walking trails, and a short stroll to town.
Recently renovated and thoughtfully equipped, unwind amongst stunning garden and mountain views. The spacious deck with BBQ and a family-sized table is perfect throughout the day and evening to enjoy a meal, drink in the view, and and chat with the friendly locals - king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras ...
This peaceful, dog-friendly retreat (with 1.2m fencing all round, and a roaming wombat) is accessible via a cement ramp (no steps) to the front door and offers ample off-street parking. It’s the ideal place to disconnect from the world for a few days or use as a base for exploring the breathtaking Upper Yarra Ranges.
Our wonderful guests have left glowing reviews, praising our comfy beds, family-friendly amenities, vintage charm and local adventures. For summer, there is air-conditioning in the lounge and fans in the bedrooms.
Feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life with Idyllwylde just an hour from Melbourne. Explore the charming and historic main street, where delightful cafes and quirky shops await, just a 5-minute walk across the bridge and oval, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the river trails.
Whether you seek a laid-back escape or an adventure-packed weekend, our cabin is the idyllic destination for families and friends. We also welcome mid-week inquiries for a refreshing break any time of the year.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Leanne
As a Melbourne-based family, we purchased Idyllwyde as a place to renovate and enjoy. This is the first time we've had a place to host. While it's significant amount of work, we really enjoy hosting. Our guests have all been lovely, organised, and respectful of the house.
Why they chose this property
It's just the perfect escape point - not too far from Melbourne. Warburton has its charms all year round, and you can be as busy or lazy as you want to be. We love the river, and being back in the country, with all the conveniences of town - like good coffee :)
What makes this property unique
Because we stay there as well, it's furnished and equipped the way we like it. So, cosy, vintage, good linen, crockery, appliances, comfortable beds, easy living, close to town, absolutely nestled in the local neighbourhood - including views and birds, have I mentioned a stone's throw to the river?
