This little cottage is the perfect place for a peaceful relaxing getaway. Despite being next to the owner’s home, the cottage is private, very quiet, and has beautiful views from its deck of the large garden, where we saw a wombat and rabbits at night. The interior had everything we needed in a compact space. We could make simple meals using the microwave and supplies of bagels and condiments for breakfast were included in the tariff. The bathroom doubles as kitchenware storage and washing up space and we enjoyed surprisingly instant hot water showers. The location of the cottage is superb for visiting Healesville and many surrounding Yarra Valley highlights are just a short drive away. We can recommend Banyalla Restaurant at the RACV resort, 5 minutes drive away, and don’t forget to visit the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, only 10 minutes away. Our host, Karen, communicated promptly with all our enquiries and greeted us kindly on arrival. This property is a little gem!
