🌸 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING available via 10amp power point located next to vehicle parking. BYO charger plug

🌸 There is an IGA, Chemist, Post Office, Pub, Bendigo Bank, and ATM located in the main centre of town alongside a service station and many small shops and cafes. There is a medical centre in Warburton and Yarra Junction alongside a Safeway in Yarra Junction which is cheaper than IGA and has more items.

It is approx 15 min drive to Yarra Junction if you require a large shopping trip to Woolworths.

🌸 There is a bus stop out the front of the property on the main road that heads back into Warburton and also out to the RedWoods Forrest.
Timetables are located on the bus stop itself or refer to the Public Transport Victoria website for more information.

The bus stop location is:
475 Woods Point Road,
East Warburton.
(bus stop name is- "Herbert Ave/Woods Point" - heading towards Warburton and "Hazelwood Road/Woods Point "- If heading out to the Redwoods Forrest/Reefon)

The last bus stop on the route is Whitegum Drive East Warburton

The bus does stop at Cement Creek Road - East Warburton for the RedWoods Forrest and it is then about a 10-15min walk into the reserve if walking from the bus stop. If driving, the RedWoods is 5 mins drive.

🌸 The closest train is located in Lilydale which will take you back to Melbourne CBD. It is a 1hr journey from Lilydale to Flinders Street Station. The bus from our property does go all the way to Lilydale and is approximately a one-hour journey.
The trains generally connect directly with the buses.

Beautiful scenery in a peaceful town

Beautiful accommodation, stunning location. River access had a fallen tree, but added some adventure to our trip! The skylight windows are just gorgeous, an amazing way to wake in the morning. Love the facilities provided and practical things like pillows, plates, cutlery, picnic basket etc Bedroom fan needs some attention, but not a hot weekend so all good x

Host profile image
We are an adventure-seeking couple, well travelled, between us we have visited over 35 countries.

Why they chose this property

-We are on acerage and therefore your views are of the gardens and the mountains.
-Many properties in Warburton are also very steep and have limited parking, we are on flat land and parking is not limited.
-We also are available around the property if you need us most of the time.
-We offer a 'hobby farm' experience as you will often see the tractor or lawnmowers around, especially in Spring and Summer.
-There is a safe and large area for kids to kick the footy or ride their bikes and although we are near the road, it is fenced between the road and the main property.

What makes this property unique

🌸 We are in a quiet area just a few minutes from Warburton.

🌸 ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING available via 10amp power point located next to vehicle parking. BYO charger plug

🌸 We have very quiet neighbors and everything is fairly private. We're located directly on the Yarra River, here you can simply walk down the property and have your own private picnic and sitting area.

🌸 It is peaceful and away from the business of the town, yet very close by to attend all attractions.

🌸 We are also only 4 minutes from the Redwoods Forrest by car and Warburton Water World Park.
