The Perfect Summer Sanctuary A cosy Cottage thats Cool, Calm and close to all !

A sweetly curving country road will lead you to this adorable little mud brick cottage nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley wine district.
Stylishly renovated but maintaining a unique charm and the warm atmosphere of a bygone era.

Sip on a glass of your favourite wine from one of the local vineyards, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility the air fragrant with the scent of lavender and wisteria.
Think stone cottage in Provence !
Romantic and idyllic .

The space
This lovely cottage is set on a quiet road, yet right in the heart of Healesville. The property is opposite a natural bushland park so kookaburras, parakeets and kangaroos can be spotted by the lucky visitor.
A wide wraparound verandah will lead you to the entrance of this cosy and light filled cottage.

The living space is open and inviting, with a dedicated dining area, reading corner, smart TV, wood burning fire and brand new split system so you're cool in summer and enjoying a cosy and romantic atmosphere in the winter months. The property is on one level, so easily accessible to all.

Two beautifully appointed bedrooms each have new queen size beds with 1200 thread count linen.
Ceiling fans, oil heaters, storage for clothes, extra pillows and blankets.

The well appointed, brand new country style kitchen boasts all the mod cons for those who love to cook, with dinnerware, glassware and napery in abundance.
The long row of kitchen windows offers views over the front garden.

The gorgeous bathroom offers a deep tub for long relaxing soaks, with a hand held shower, toiletries and towels provided for the guests.

A separate area incorporates the powder room, shower room and toilet..
A brand new front loader washing machine and clothes rack are available.

This cottage has been lovingly restored and renovated combining the best of modern amenities with bespoke pieces of furniture and homewares collected on my travels along the years.
The result is a warm and inviting space I heartily invite you to visit.

Such a gorgeous relaxing spot
We spent an idyllic 4 days in this beautiful little cottage. It was fully decked out for Christmas & looked truly lovely. It was amazingly clean & had the best shower I’ve had outside of a hotel! With a big bath for soaking in & a fully decked out kitchen., we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be back to a place so close to everything yet so peaceful

Beautiful week in Healesville for family and dog
This was the most wonderful cottage to spend a cold week relaxing by the fireplace on the comfy sofas, cooking hearty meals in the cottage kitchen whilst sipping on local wine. Despite the cold wet weather, the cottage stayed toasty with the mixed heating and fire. We even had an extra delivery of wood to sustain us for the week! The beds were comfy and we all slept very well. We could stay again!

Gorgeous wee French style cottage escape
Ooh La La! Is what you’ll say when you arrive and step inside this beautifully decorated cottage. Everything was there to make our stay special. The host Angela went over and above to make our stay so cosy and comfortable. Our first visit to a Stayz property and we will be coming back. Superb! Merci Angela.
