After working in the city each day of the week, Mr Oak was the perfect weekend rural escape. We arrived after dark on a wintery Friday evening (my husband and 2 children) and within 5 minutes we had the log fire going. The house was very welcoming, with everything we needed...the flowers in each room were a lovely welcome and the children made good use of the board games whilst I worked my way through the generous pile of country home magazines. Waking up in the morning, the view over the deck was beautiful. Less than a 5 min walk into the village, the house was a perfect location for cafes, walks and bike rides, with the Warburton to Lilydale bike trail being almost on our doorstep. Saturday evening was spent outside on the deck, toasting marshmallows by the fire and sitting under the stars until midnight. After a three night stay, we returned home truly relaxed. Lauren was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we would definitely recommend this property.
