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

Experience the perfect getaway in our delightful 1950s cabin, nestled close to the river and a short stroll to town. A sun-drenched back deck, comfy beds, and wood burning stove make for a charming and tranquil stay.

Recently renovated and thoughtfully equipped, unwind to the soothing sounds of a nearby creek while soaking in stunning garden and mountain views. The spacious deck with BBQ and a family-sized table is perfect for outdoor dining and gatherings into the evening, or during the day having a chat with the friendly locals - king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras, and currawongs.

This peaceful, dog-friendly retreat (with secure 1.2m fencing all round) is accessible via a cement ramp 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.

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.

For the adventurous, there are countless walking and cycling trails. As the spectacular spring blossoms give way to the warmer weather, picnic by the river, or even float down it! And when you’re ready to relax, curl up with a good book and a glass of wine, or engage in family games. While we provide WiFi for those who need it (ideal for relaxed work-from-home), what a wonderful opportunity for a digital detox!

Whether you seek a laid-back escape or an adventure-packed weekend, our cabin is the idyllic destination for families and friends. We also welcome mid-week inquiries for a refreshing break any time of the year.

Great time!
We had a wonderful time at Idyllwylde cabin. The place is very cosy, where you can relax and feel at home with comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Outside you are surrounded by trees and birds coming to say hello.

Home away from home
We could not have had a more relaxing mini-break. The cottage is clean, fully equipped with a peaceful outdoor area. There is a stream running down the back of the property that is calming. Our dog loved the fully fenced yard and the walks nearby. Warburton is such a beautiful place with much more to see than we realised. We cannot recommend this property enough.

Nice family stay
The stay was a perfect little get away for the family. The area was beautiful and the backyard was big enough for the dog. The house was homey and had everything we needed.

A relaxed and welcoming energy
You never really know what to expect when you arrive at a new holiday cottage, but this place felt instantly warm and welcoming. The host had left us a special basket of treats (always popular) and access to essentials we'd managed to forget, like the olive oil. The fire was prepped to be lit, the beds were warm and comfy, and the location couldn't be beat. I had three wonderful walks with my dog over the weekend, and a top quality morning coffee in town (10 mins walk along the river) - all without the need for a car. I would highly recommend this cute little getaway house!

Fabulous cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was homely and spotless with wonderful character. We had cold rainy weather during our stay, but none of us minded when we had such a lovely place to retreat to when we needed to cut short our daily adventures and get out of the weather. The cottage was easy walking distance to the shops via the picturesque river trail and host Leanne was very helpful. The welcome goodies were an unexpected surprise too! We found plenty to entertain ourselves with in the Warburton area and wouldn't hesitate to book another stay in the cottage if we are in the Warburton area again. A big thumbs up from our whole family.

This is a very nice place to stay in Warburton. It is close to town and shops, a very nice walk down the river to the local cafes and restaurants. The house is very well organised and had everything we needed, and more! The host was very helpful and communication was great! Thank you!

A delightful and very thoughtfully planned stay. Cute and comfortable with lots of lovely little touches, ample firewood and a nice walk along the river to the Main Street. Thanks so much I hope to stay again.

Great winter get away
We had a great winter weekend at the property. It's easy to find and very welcoming. Leanne, the host had everything setup perfectly, and the timber fire place added to the ambience for our wine and local cheeses. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need, The location is a short walk along the flowing river to the town full of cafes (great coffee at Silva.) There was light snow falling at Mt Donna Buang which was only 20 mins away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,so much that my daughter didn't want to leave.

Mums and boys weekend
We had such a beautiful weekend away. The house was very cosy, and perfect size for family dinner. the kids loved feeding the birds and playing in the garden. The highlight of their trip was the skatepark next to Warburton. Highly recommended!!

Super cosy and comfortable
We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. Everything is in good nic, very good quality bedding and kitchenware. A lot of personal touches - A home away from Home. Fireplace works a treat to take the chill off. The reverse cycle also warms up the place in a jiffy. The kids got stuck into the games and puzzles as it rained most of our stay. Great location - walking distance, along the gorgeous river, into town or the caravan park. We would definitely book again.

Perfect location for the river
We had a fantastic stay at Idyllwylde. The property is very well presented and was perfect for both us and our dog who enjoyed the fenced in garden. Great location for both the river and Warburton - very quiet in the house despite the rest of town being very busy. Would stay again!
