Fully renovated 1940s cottage in Warburton

This very private 1940s cottages has just had a complete renovation. The two main bedrooms have queen sized beds and there's a kids room with a bunk bed.
The house also has great outdoor areas with an East facing deck that looks out over the Upper Yarra Valley and a stone patio with a funky fire pit.
Warburton is a cool mountain town with plenty of options for hikers and bikers. The house is 500 meters from the Aqueduct trail that winds through the forest. The Warburton - Lilydale rail trail is popular with families. More adventurous riders can take on Mt Donna Buang, Reefton Spur and the Acheron Way.
Warburton has plenty of great cafes, unique shops, and a popular swimming hole in the centre of town, and there's wineries down valley for tastings.
The house is located on the lower slopes of Mt Donna Buang which has snow play and toboggan run in winter. It's also located 45 minutes from the cross country ski centre at Lake Mountain.
Please note that there are approximately 20 steps down or up to the house from the two entrances. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues.

It really is someone's 1940s holiday Cottage
3 bedrooms, pleasant, best water pressure I've ever had, outside cobwebs a bit unsightly but part of natural vibe. Neighbour's veranda 50 odd meters away but the effect behind the plants is essentially isolation. I could drink the water straight from the tap and it was quite nice. Snacked on some mint from the garden as well. The steps and ramp aren't onerous unless you have a mobility issue. Parking out the front is in a shared driveway, but on the property at the rear. I could hear the small stream, under the fern trees on the other side of the driveway, from inside the main bedroom (which was nice).

weekend getaway
Great house in good location. Would recommend and will be happy to stay again. Be mindful that there are stairs both front and back when carrying luggage and if it’s pouring with rain you will get wet. On the positive side, there was heaps of dry firewood to get toasty once you’re inside.

It was a lovely comfortable property with all that we needed. Loved sitting out on the deck, looking at the trees, and listening to water flowing. Very private and quiet.

Secluded getaway
Great short stay getaway that feels secluded. Facilities as advertised with good wifi, and plenty of room for 2. Property access a challenge and would not recommend for young families or for anyone that cannot manage 20 plus steep steps.

Nice stay in beautiful surroundings
Check-in was easy and early check-in was provided when asked. Access to the house was difficult from front and back, there's a number of stairs to contend with. The listing indicates that the house has great outdoor areas. The deck and view is nice, but the property is on a significant hill and there's no yard to speak of. Kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need and the bedrooms are adequate. Overall, a pleasant stay, 3.5 stars.

Wonderful and restful time
Exhausted mums seeking some time away from the families. The house is a restful place, with a good fireplace and cottage feel. The beds are comfortable and so as the hot water. We enjoyed the time there. Iain was easy to talk to and he gave us a late check-out which was very appreciated. May not be suitable with elderly or young children as the access involves steps and backyard not enclosed for running. Minor issues with parking being a bit tricky and the security door sticky to open. If equipped with a dishwasher, it would have been perfect.

Gorgeous house amongst the trees & ferns.
We loved our short 3 day/night stay. Absolutely loved the stream alongside the house. Heaps of wood for a fire. Excellent hot water system & kitchen had everything we needed plus the added bonus of a coffee machine. The surrounds of Warburton were beautiful & we left feeling very relaxed. Thank you.

Enjoyable stay
My husband and I enjoyed our stay, however more attention needs to be paid to the guest experience. The rate is not cheap, therefore guests expect a certain level of finesse and care. There were a number of issues, in particular: - filthy pots and pans - no soap provided in either shower - no hand towels provided in either bathroom - not enough kindling provided for the stay (it had been raining leading up and any kindling on the property was wet - no offer was made to bring us a supply) - firewood provided was too big to burn, no axe obvious to find - The listing states the accommodation is suitable for children, however we recommend having a highchair available - Providing a guest handbook is recommended - this was an issue as the mobile reception is not great and we weren't able to access all the guest information online. Iain was really helpful in this particular instance and texted us all the info. All in all, the location is fantastic, we really enjoyed sitting outside and soaking up the country air in a beautiful part of Victoria.

Sweet old weatherboard. Decor a little lacking in small touches and character. Limited kitchenware. Bathrooms nicely renovated. Beds comfortable. Divine garden and views. Iain lovely to talk with, accommodating.

Great little cottage
A lovely little cottage part way up the mountain, the place was comfortable and well equipped. Having wi-fi was a bonus. The location is good and we enjoyed the sounds of kookaburras in the morning. Access to the property is via some steep steps, front and back but it was fine for us (it's also made clear in the property info).
