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.

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.

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.

Warburton Experience

The cottage was very clean and well appointed, however car parking and access to the cottage was a problem as the site is very steep and the vehicles were parked quite a distance from the cottage which made un-packing & packing quite a struggle in the rain. I would not recommend this property for elderly people and the booking site does not give any indication of this situation.

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.

This was definitely a nice place to stay. Few issues but it wouldn’t put me of going back, I think it would be a great spot in winter with the inside fire etc. First up the address is Younga Rd not Younga St, hard to find the house when we first arrived. After finding the lock box and sorting keys etc, we got greeted by 100s of ants inside the main door way. Cobwebs everywhere inside like the place hadn't been cleaned before we arrived or maybe long time from the last renters. Dead huntsman in the hallway again with 100s of ants around that. The “20 steps” is very misleading and the slope to the property is ridiculously steep and very hard to get things to and from the car. Mum struggled going in and out to the car for any of our trips (100% do not bring any older people to this property or people with any sort of walking disability).Had to go to the shop & provide our own batteries to work the Aircon system. Again noting that bad that would put me personally off going back to the property. Look forward to another trip in winter. Cheers!

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).

Inaccessibility of property

My husband and I booked a little weekend getaway with our 2 year old daughter.I feel that the description ‘20 steps up or down to the property’ is a little misleading. There isn’t anywhere really to park your car and it is pretty treacherous. At the bottom of the property there is no car park unless you are blocking another drive wayAt the top there is a very steep driveway that you can’t access unless you have a 4WD.There was also a huge wasp nest blocking the stairs from the top so we couldn’t access the property that way without getting stung which both myself and my husband did. We contacted the owner after we got stung to let him know so he could inform the next booking however he was less then concerned and said that he knew about the wasp nest but was waiting until it was cooler to get rid of them which I don’t feel was an appropriate response.The inaccessibility of the property made it stressful to get in and out which was not ideal to go sight seeing, go out for dinner etc.The property itself was lovely however one of the showers was not sealed which meant we couldn’t really use that shower without getting the bathroom soaked.There are lots of nice places in Warbie without these issues. I would give this one a miss.

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.
