Idyllwylde: pet-friendly, renovated vintage cabin, close to town and river

Experience the perfect summer getaway in our delightful 1950s cabin, nestled close to the river and a short stroll to town. January bookings now available!

Recently renovated and thoughtfully equipped, unwind to the soothing sounds of a nearby creek while soaking in stunning garden and mountain views. The spacious deck with BBQ and a family-sized table is perfect for outdoor dining and gatherings into the evening, or during the day having a chat with the friendly locals - king parrots, rosellas, kookaburras ...

This peaceful, dog-friendly retreat (with secure 1.2m fencing all round) is accessible via a cement ramp to the front door and offers ample off-street parking. It’s the ideal place to disconnect from the world for a few days or use as a base for exploring the breathtaking Upper Yarra Ranges.

Our wonderful guests have left glowing reviews, praising our comfy beds, family-friendly amenities, vintage charm and local adventures.

Feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life with Idyllwylde just an hour from Melbourne. Explore the charming and historic main street, where delightful cafes and quirky shops await, just a 5-minute walk across the bridge and oval, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the river.

For the adventurous, there are countless walking and cycling trails. Summer has arrived heralding riverside picnics, walks, swimming and other water adventures. While we provide WiFi for those who need it (ideal for relaxed work-from-home), what a wonderful opportunity for a digital detox!

Whether you seek a laid-back escape or an adventure-packed weekend, our cabin is the idyllic destination for families and friends. We also welcome mid-week inquiries for a refreshing break any time of the year.
