About Our Property
Yarra Valley Views is a charming and newly renovated home just out of Lilydale in the beautiful Yarra Valley. With three luxurious bedrooms and two oversized bathrooms, you can step inside and immediately relax. Jump into the pool (heated from November to April) and cool off before enjoying a BBQ on the back verandah. Local Champagne/wine and cheese platter & biscuits provided on arrival. Bacon, eggs, bread and essentials for breakfast for your first day also supplied. It is the perfect b&b Yarra Valley.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The two upstairs bedrooms boast views across the magnificent Yarra Valley and on a cool spring morning, the valley floor is covered in a soft layer of cloud and often dotted with colourful soaring hot air balloons.
The spacious modern bathrooms have large walk-in rain showers, heated towel rails and luxury towels. There is an ample supply of shampoo, specialist soaps and an hairdryer in each bathroom. The two upstairs bedrooms have extra comfortable mattresses, quality Sheridan linen, luxurious carpet, flat screen TVs, reverse cycle air conditioners and beautiful views across the pool to the valley and beyond.
The third bedroom has a double bed and the same quality mattresses and linen. All beds have soft electric blankets, choice of pillows and extra blankets available. There are two separate lounge areas with comfortable couches and armchairs and soft woolen throws. The downstairs floors are traditional polished parquetry and rough-cut slate. There is a large flat screen TV, DVD player and powerful reverse cycle cooler. There are ceiling fans in all rooms.
The Kitchen
The kitchen has a wide gas oven and stovetop with all the pots, pans and utilities required to whip up some great food. There is a modern dishwasher and large fridge and freezer stocked with local produce for your home made breakfast looking out over the valley.
We have a nice herb garden for use and seasonal citrus available to be picked fresh from the tree. There are all the coffee options you can desire – expresso machine (traditional type), 12 cup filter machine, plunger and of course good old instant and for the rest there is fresh leaf tea – herbal and traditional. There is a complimentary bottle of local Yarra Valley wine in the fridge plus more available for purchase. For the longer stay we have automatic clothes washer and dryer with complimentary washing powder. There is an iron and ironing board for your use.
Finally to help you relax and enjoy your stay we have an ample supply of fiction and non fiction books, a broad collection of DVDs, board games and a CD player with an iPod doc. There is free good speed WiFi and Netflix to download your favourite movies. In the warmer months you can cook on the gas or traditional wood BBQs in the el-fresco dining area or walk down to the 30m pool and have a BBQ lunch and swim. The pool is kept at 28C from November to April. We have a kettle BBQ, Japanese style charcoal grill and small spit rotisserie available for use. There is a sprawling garden in which you can wander and unwind from the stresses of the modern world. We can arrange transport to local restaurants and wineries so you can have a little drink or two.
Yarra Valley Views is ideal for one, two or three couples to relax and forget about the hectic world in one of Australia’s most visited regions. We have a two night minimum booking - on Weekends it is the entire house and on weekdays we have a two night single room option. Easter and Christmas have a minimum five day booking of the whole house and we are happy to discuss long term bookings. We live on site in a separate house and are there to ensure your stay is as perfect as it can be. As long time residents of the region we can help you find something in the area that will entice and impress.
