Charming 1950s cabin, set amongst mature trees and garden. Large windows capture the glorious winter sunshine while you can snuggle down with cosy bedding, effective heating, and the charm of a woodburning stove.
Newly renovated and well equipped, relax to the sounds of the creek burbling away, and drink in the mountain views. You don't have to sit on the sunny back deck long before the locals arrive for a chat - king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras and other birds. The picturesque town with its delicious cafes is just a 5-minute walk across the bridge and sports oval, or a delightful stroll along the river.
Quiet, dog friendly, accessible (ramp to front door) and with plenty of off-street parking - this is the perfect place to ignore the world for a couple of days or use as a base to explore the stunning upper Yarra Ranges.
Autumn and winter in the upper Yarra Valley are truly spectacular and feel a world away from the city - yet Idyllwylde is only an hour from Melbourne. Think crisp mornings and sunny days - perfect for exploring the town and local sights. Tackle the many walking and cycling trails, changing views, waterfalls, and wildlife sighting. When it's raining or the clouds are hanging low over the hills, there are galleries, the cinema, and the chance of snow on the hills. Or ignore the weather and curl up with a book, a glass of red wine, or play games with the kids. Wifi is there (think relaxing WFH?), but what a chance for a digital detox if you so choose!
An easy escape for a lazy or adventure-packed weekend and school holidays. Mid-week enquiries also welcome.
