Stunning place to stay for a cheeky getaway to the Yarra Valley. Perfect location. Wonderful hosts.
The cottage was clean and well presented, amenities are good. The property is amazing, large garden and grassed areas to walk around and lots of wildlife. We had a fantastic getaway and can’t thank Martin and Antoinette enough for the hospitality they provided.
Maddens Cottage is really a very lovely place to spend time. Really coudn't fault anything and the setting and beauty of the Cottages surroundings is perfect. Both Martin and Antoinette greeted us and were kindness itself.
Fantastic everything - location, accommodation and surrounding property, and hosts. Highly recommend for family or friend groups, loved that there was a couple camp chairs to take to vineyard concert we attended (above and beyond). Will absolutely stay again and for longer as soon as we can.

Weekend in Gruyer
Lovely location listing stated kitchen we brought breakfast provisions with no where to cook them only microwave provided.
The cottage was delightful, everything we needed for a quiet getaway. Spotlessly clean and didn’t even see a spider! Marty was there on arrival and very accomodating.
Location perfect. Thoroughly recommend this slice of heaven.

Such a beautiful, relaxing and quiet area. Away from the hustle and bustle. We were able to wander around the property and it was stunning with the most amazing veiws, of rolling hillsides. The cottage itself was perfect and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! Communication was great and hosts are lovely! Highly recommend
A lovely little cottage in a gorgeous tranquil setting. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind while exploring the area. We fell asleep to the sound of singing frogs and woke to the birds. Very happy.
We had such a lovely time; the house was adorable and had everything we needed. It was better than the photos! The grounds were so nicely manicured with beautiful flowers and native plants. It was so peaceful and quiet and the hosts were so lovely. I would definitely recommend and definitely stay there again.
The property was beautiful and the cottage was well presented, cozy and well stocked.
Loved the chickens, ducks and possums we saw around the cottage.
It's so close to local wineries and Healesville, making our adventures so much easier.
Would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and the property is quiet and spacious. Perfect spot for a weekend getaway in the Yarra Valley.
Great location and lovely cabin - enjoyed our stay
The cabin was just what we needed for a country escape.
Perfectly located close to wineries and only a short drive from Healesville.
The cabin was neat and tidy. We very much enjoyed the fireplace
Had a lovely time staying at Madden's cottage. We were warmly welcomed by Martin & felt very much at home. Two lovely spacious bedrooms - comfy beds! Highlight was the wood fire, star gazing & seeing the ducks & chickens. Thank you for having us - we had a lovely family getaway.
Incredibly beautiful surrounds. A peaceful and relaxing property - good for the soul. The cottage was a really lovely, high quality place to stay, cosy and very comfy, with everything we needed. Very friendly hosts.
A wonderful cottage in the heart of the Yarra vineyards. Clean, peaceful and comfortable. It exceeded our expectations and I would not hesitated to stay again. We hope to come back soon.
Lovely cottage in beautiful grounds. Perfect location for exploring the area and relaxing. Hosts were very helpful, would definitely recommend. Thank you!
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! I’m so glad we found it. The cottage is in a perfect location - minutes to wineries such as Chandon and Dominique Portet, and also very close to the cute town of Healesville. It’s quiet, cozy & also roomy enough to fit two couples comfortably. The spacious lounge room (in between the bedrooms) perfect place to play board games with a glass of wine from a local winery. The beds were super comfy. We had everything we needed, including wood for the fireplace. Martin is an excellent host, the check-in process was simple. Martin is also very responsive & kind. I would definitely recommend this property, and have already recommended it to my family & friends. I hope to visit again someday. Thanks for having us :)

We LOVED our stay! Photos don’t do it justice. The property was beautiful, clean and styled nicely. Coffee pod machine and milk was a nice touch we didn’t expect. Beautiful gardens to walk around, and in a fantastic location. Owners were lovely and inviting. Will book again definitely!
We were beyond impressed with our stay at the Maddens Cottage!
The cottage itself is impeccably clean, cozy and beautifully furnished - and the location is amazing! The property is private and tranquil, yet so close to nearby wineries of the Yarra Valley.
Antoinette and Martin went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable - with clear directions, helpful local knowledge, and personal touches and details within the accomodation that made our stay special!
We can’t wait to come back and stay again, thank you :)
