The Huntsman Cabin

Many forest creatures come out at night. Often heard and seldom seen but intriguing all the same. By day the birds are in abundance and will put on a show for you on the bird feeder.

The kookaburras are at your service as a natural alarm every morning at daybreak.

Keys to the property are stored in a Key Lock Safe on the property. The combination will be provided before check-in.

Warburton is an attractive town on the Yarra River, nestled in a valley between heavily forested mountains, east of Lilydale and on the road to Mount Donna Buang.

The town has a multitude of cafes and other eateries, many housed in buildings which date back to Warburton's early beginnings as a mountain escape for Melburnians in the early 1900s.

The Visitor Information Centre is a prominent landmark in the main street, featuring a large replica of a water wheel used by the logging industry in the past.

Best to have your own transport however there is a bus that comes into town. The house is about a 15-minute walk from the bus stop. Should this be your mode of transport, please advise and I will give directions.

- Please no smoking inside the house.
- Pets are not permitted on furniture.
- Please bring pet bedding and food bowls.

Not only was this place lovely, but it was also very interesting! It also left a sort of mark on me to think about how my own living space looks, because let me tell you, this place has character!Lucy was incredibly friendly when we communicated with her via messages, and very prompt to respond.I recommend this place :) Thank you Lucy.

The cottage was set in amongst beautiful tree ferns and Australian native foliage. The wood fire place kept the cottage warm and cosy at night.Bed was very comfortable and kitchen had all the amenities you could require. The sink tap did start to drip on our last evening which we notified the owner of.It is decorated very eclectically and lighting is dim which suited us but may not suit all peoples.We enjoyed our stay exploring Warburton and the surrounds, ideally located for us.Our cat Macey spent the days sitting on her stand watching the parrots in the trees.

The Huntsman Cotttage, Warburton

We stayed three nights. This is a very unique cottage with lots of character. Very comfortable and well appointed. Everything you need for your stay. A very quiet position among the tall ferns and gums where you will experience beautifully natural surroundings. We hope to return one day. surroundings surroundings

Oasis in the Woods

Huntsman is an artistically appointed, eclectic slice of heaven. A private retreat among the ferns and trees, close to all that Warburton has to offer. The outdoor shower was the highlight of the stay - what an experience. Waking up to bird song and the laugh of the kookaburras was a treat. We felt so at home and did not want to leave.

Despite name no spiders, 5 stars.

We went to Warburton to get away and go for hikes in the hills and unwind, the cottage was a great base camp and it was amazing to come back to somewhere warm with a fire. The outdoor shower under a canopy of tree ferns was possibly our favourite feature as we are now trying to figure out the logistics of outdoor bathing in our house we are planning to renovate. After a day of hiking it was unparalleled.

Cosy little place, slightly over the top with decorations, felt quite busy. Ambient lights, but would benefit of good light especially in kitchen and bathroom. Overall nice little place.

A gem of a location

Situated in the woods amongst giant tree ferns our cottage was comfy and warm. Loads of walks for the active tourist and only a stone’s throw from the wineries of the Yarra Valley. The local cuisine was delicious and we even discovered an artisan baker nearby that sold great bread and pastries. What more could you want?
