Less than 800 meters from the main street in Healesville the house location is perfect for wine and food aficionados, nature lovers and those seeking to relax and enjoy the beautiful Yarra Valley. This meticulously maintained and recently renovated home by Presentation Counts a Melbourne property styling company is sure to delight.

Wedding Weekend
We booked this beautiful property to stay in and have our daughter dress for her wedding together with her bridal party. The property was absolutely beautiful, inside and out and was just perfect for capturing amazing photos. The home had efficient heating and was so warm and contained everything we needed. Cant wait to return to just have a quiet and lovely weekend.

5 STAR all the way & attention to detail should be congratulated !!!
I have stayed at many beautiful quality self catering homes here & overseas, but Healesville Country Villa is such a standout, 5 Star all the way !!! I really felt I needed to express what an amazing sublime & wonderful home it is, I am truly jealous. Ray's taste is exquisite and what he has achieved in the Garden is breathtaking, I took away many inspirations. Also Ray's attention to detail in providing everything that is needed was just superb, Ray should write the “Manual” for all home owners who decide to go into this venture ! The stock of quality items....everything & anything from the Kitchen to the Bathrooms was so appreciated. The cleanliness of the property was outstanding. I certainly congratulate Ray for being so generous in allowing people to stay in such a glorious home, what a dream home & surrounds!

Healesville Country Villa
The title says it all. This house has old world charm, the most stunning gardens. Gorgeous outdoor area to relax and use the bbq! We had a lovely, relaxing time between here and the wineries, we were very spoilt. Ray was great to deal with. We would be more than happy to rent this property again, and highly recommend it.

Perfect country holiday
We’ve just finished 5 nights at this beautiful house with my husband, son and his partner. So comfortable! Best sleep I’ve had for ages. House is warm, cozy and inviting, beautifully decorated and cared for! We all enjoyed having space to enjoy some quiet time as well as our extended family time sitting by the fire in the living room. A perfect country retreat!

Perfect country holiday
This is a wonderful property in an elevated position in Healesville. Really quiet with a lovely garden and outlook, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a country stay. The house is beautiful with plenty of space and amenities to accommodate up to 6 people (we had four) It has every comfort and was so cozy in the cold weather. The living room with the fireplace was such a nice place to gather in the evenings. We all loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting space, comfort and a touch of luxury in a country setting.

Absolutely Beautiful Villa
My wife and I stayed at Healesville Country Villa with our two son’s and the partners, so we could all reconnect after COVID lockdown. The Villa is incredibly decorated and equipped with everything possible you may require. It’s prefect for 3 couples, very spacious with areas inside and out to be together or quite spots for time out. Ray went above & beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Thank you so much Ray for sharing your Magnificent Villa.
