Gorgeous little hideaway 1 min from Healesville town centre
The garden cottage was a great little spot for us for a weekend getaway. The kitchen was great for cooking, but you're only a minute from Healesville town centre, close enough to get everything you need. Jack and Stacey were really helpful. We had a great time.

Comfortable stay in beautifully restored cottage
The cottage was very comfortable for our short break in Healesville. Kitchen was well set up with everything we needed. Bathrooms had great products to use - a bonus for guests! The location above the town was ideal for a ‘country escape’…sitting on the verandah with a view of the mountains was very relaxing! Thank you Jack and Stacey!

Differs to listing, not worth money we spent, when out someone used bbq on veranda
We were there 4 nights due to a wedding nearby. First impressions when we arrived was the yard and surrounding area is in need of attention. Arrival at night would have been tricky/dangerous. If kept nice I am sure the property would present a lot cleaner and offer views. The pictures also within listing do differ to real life, guessing photos are a number of years old. We did ask for 3 beds and only 2 were made. Upon making the third bed there was no additional linen that we could find and we found in draw under trundle bed towels that were wet so we decided not to bother with the third bed. Probably the most disappointing part is when we were out on the Friday and returned home we were parked out. We had to approach neighbours to move their car who were having a party. This wasn't really the issue but when we returned inside the house we had noticed the bbq on veranda had been used while we were out. Felt very strange and won't be staying there again and would not recommend staying here. Bathroom at front of house as well overflows while having a shower and ends up flooding. On the positive front I loved the fireplace, oven and other bathroom.

It was great but no tea towels and no instant coffee. Just plunger coffee but no plunger which was confusing. House was adorable but we were really needed the extra advertised bedroom and bathrooms.

Exactly what we needed
The cottage had everything we needed for a weekend away to attend a friend's wedding. A comfortable living area, big kitchen, and an iron and laundry for getting ready. The highlight was the back porch where we enjoyed a quiet morning coffee in the sunshine after the night of the wedding.

A lovely family getaway on the edge of the Yarra Valley
My family enjoyed staying here for their weekend triple birthday celebration in the Yarra Valley. The space is beautifully designed with lots of places to relax (indoors and outdoors) and three rooms to sleep in. They enjoyed the many eateries in Healesville and exploring the wineries of the Yarra Valley, too. It was lovely for them to come back to the cottage to rest and relax (and recover from jetlag). Thanks so much!

Gardeners Cottage - Yarra Valley Getaway
A absolute rural gem. Wonderful to immerse ourselves in this glorious rural setting . The cottage had such a welcoming "At home" feel. Sitting in any of the rooms in this home gave a you a sense of a peaceful oasis. Just SO delightful. The front garden and borrowed visita beyond were glorious to look out onto from the front verandah setting. A perfect place to inhale the "slow lane" in any season. Look forward to returning with dear friends later in 2022. Thank you for such a wonderful accomodation experience.

Beautiful house with so much charm
The house was in a lovely location with beautiful views from the front verandah. The house was a charming old house that has been beautifully restored with all the modern comforts. The owners supplied the little extras to make the stay easy. We loved our stay & if ever back in the area, would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful property. Wonderful location.
Couldn't have been happier. The property is beautiful. The hosts greeted us warmly and gave us a run down of the house. They encouraged us to use the veggies in their garden and allowed us to have an extra person stay over mid-trip. The house was immaculately clean and came with all the essentials. It's decorated beautifully and has a beautiful view from the back porch. 10/10 :)
