About the host
Hosted by Leanne
As a Melbourne-based family, we purchased Idyllwyde as a place to renovate and enjoy. Turns out we also really enjoy hosting and sharing our hideaway with others. 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 to settle in, convenient to town, gorgeous views and entertaining birdlife. Have I mentioned a stone's throw to the river in summer (swimming or river tubing), and snow play at Mt Donna Buang in winter?
