About this property

Idyllwylde: pet-friendly, renovated vintage cabin, close to town and river

Spring blossoms and idyllic days ...are you ready for crisp mornings, sunny days, and new adventures?

Experience a getaway, workation, or micro adventure in our delightfully cosy 1950s cabin - nestled close to the river, walking and bike trails, and just a short stroll to town.

Unwind amongst stunning garden and mountain views. The spacious deck with BBQ and a family-sized table is perfect for a sun-kissed morning coffee and chat with the friendly locals - king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras ...

This peaceful, dog-friendly retreat (with 1.2m fencing all round, 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. At night, enjoy the warm glow of the combustion stove (firewood supplied) in the lounge, or brave the outdoors and toast a few marshmallows at the firepit. Bedrooms have heaters and electric blankets.

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 (maybe the new world class mountain bike park?), our cabin is the idyllic destination for families and friends. We also welcome mid-week enquiries for a refreshing break any time of the year.

About the host

Hosted by Leanne

Host profile image
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?
