About this property

Healesville Cottage - just a short walk to the centre of town

Welcome to our lovely historic cottage, lovingly restored and updated with modern amenities. Just around the corner from Four Pillars Distillery, and 500 metres from Healesville main street, guests have easy access to numerous cafes, breweries, distilleries, cellar doors, restaurants and shops. The cottage features original polished floorboards, 3 large air conditioned bedrooms, one with ensuite, plus a deluxe country style kitchen, and a cosy living room with wood fired heater and air conditioning.

The cottage features free WiFi internet, large 4K smart TV, plus a sound bar providing surround sound. The bathrooms feature individually controlled gas hot water systems, as does the kitchen, which features a deluxe cooker with 3 separate ovens, as well as a fridge/freezer, microwave, and Nespresso machine. The kitchen will be stocked with cereals, bread, fruit, juice and milk - and firewood will be provided in the colder months. We can even have the fire going for you when you arrive if you request. In the yard you will find a selection of herbs in the garden beds, as well as apple, lemon, and lime trees. Guests are welcome to help themselves to anything that is ready to eat.

We live nearby, and are very happy to provide recommendations of things to do, and can even offer private driven tours of the valley.

Great cottage in a terrific location

Healsville is an excellent location if you want to explore the Yarra Valley. This cute cottage is in walking distance to the town (which has lots of bars & restaurants), but also has everything you need if you want to self cater. It's very clean & comfortable. The only quirk is the hot water, which takes a bit of practice. Really enjoyed our stay & would recommend it highly.

Fantastic stay

Stayed for 6 nights and hopefully will come back some day soon. Mike is an obliging, helpful and unobtrusive host. His communication was spot on. Spring weather can be variable and cold at nights, so on a couple of days we heated the whole house using the very efficient wood burner fire. Beds very comfortable. House spotlessly clean. Kitchen well fitted out. WiFi, almost a must these days is a great addition and was faster than I experienced afterwards in a non NBN Melbourne suburb. If TV is your thing, there's a giant TV in the lounge with Foxtel and an Apple TV. An easy walk to Healesville township. The purpose of our visit was to again experience Yarra wine. We were delighted at the quality of wine glasses.

Healesville getaway

At first glance you can see this lovely cottage is cared for. The well kept driveway, gardens and veranda are easily accessible. Upon entering, the high ceilings, large rooms and light filled kitchen were wonderful and exceptionally clean. I was very impressed with all the corners being cobweb free, even under the beds! The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality linen, ample towels, toilet paper, tissues and soap. A welcome package of bread, milk, cereal and jam, as well as tea and coffee was left for us. There were clear instructions in a folder on how to operate everything as well. The cottage is an easy walk to Healesville's main shopping street, so there was no need to drive. We also really appreciated the early check in- thank you for a wonderful stay!

Best birthday

Very happy with the whole process of booking, correspondence, arriving and entry to the lovely place we called home for 3 nights. Very clean, neat and well stocked with everything you could want to help us enjoy our break. Had a great time at the wineries, good food when we ate out and a wonderful place to rest and relax in. We celebrated my birthday, my son’s partner’s birthday and the fact we could spend some days together. We all would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect getaway

A weekend reunion for old friends in Healesville was centred around this lovely cottage. Walking distance from everything, spacious, clean and beautifully appointed. Communication with the owner Mike was fantastic, and he assisted with queries about the local area and options before our arrival. We're planning a return already!

A fabulous place to stay!

My girlfriends and I absolutely loved our stay here at Healesville Cottage. Mike had already lit the fire for us so the cottage was beautiful and warm upon arrival (it did not go out for our entire stay). The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we possibly needed for the weekend. We greatly appreciated the milk, butter, OJ etc in the fridge as well as the beautiful bread on the table. The coffee machine was fantastic & the kitchen was very well equipped. The bedrooms were tastefully decorated & beds very comfortable! Lovely local amenities in the bathroom another nice touch. It was such an easy walk into town and back and even easier to Four Pillars! From the get go Mike’s communication was amazing - extremely polite, informative & accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here, can’t wait to rebook with family.

Perfect Healesville location

The cottage was the perfect location for our annual girls weekend. Short walks to city, distillery or the Innocent Bystander. Our host was always prompt, friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was equipped with everything you would need including some lovely touches like bread, milk and fruit. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Healesville stay.

Absolutely perfect!

We were a group of 4, in the region for a wedding. The location was fabulous, being a short walk to some attractions, and a short drive into town. The accommodation was very well appointed throughout, and met all of our needs perfectly. Our wonderful host even thought to turn on the lights, and have music playing from the Bluetooth speakers, for our late arrival, which we all found a lovely, warm touch. The accommodation surpassed our expectations,and I'd highly recommend the property and the host, Mike.

Excellent base for family getaway.

We were a party of plus 60s’ and 2 plus 30’s in age, there for a catch up with aunt from the UK . An absolute gem of a place to stay. So very comfortable to have a family catch up after 3 long years due to Covid and it’s inherent travel restrictions. Lovely welcome provisions upon arrival. The place was superbly clean with the easiest check in provided by the host Mike. I can throughly recommend this place.
