Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.

Mountain and valley views

Soak up the views during your stay.
Set on one of Warburton’s most historic streets, just 175m from the Yarra River and village heart, Millhand’s Cottage is a beautifully restored heritage retreat unlike anything else in the valley.

This 3-bedroom cottage blends timeless character with contemporary comfort, featuring curated vintage pieces, luxurious bedding and sweeping mountain views.

Unwind on the expansive deck or explore the trails from the bike workshop.
Perfect for special celebrations or a nature-focused getaway.

The space
The cottage has high ceilings with beautiful Baltic pine floorboards throughout.

King master bedroom: A beautiful sanctuary with French doors that open onto a private deck with bistro seating - a perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

Second bedroom: Spacious room with Queen bed and French doors that open to the side garden and fill the room with natural light.

Third bedroom: Cozy room with a Queen bed, a rich earthy colour scheme, and located adjacent to the newly renovated main bathroom.

As part of the cottage's heritage restoration, the original layout has been preserved, so there are no ensuite bathrooms. There is a main bathroom and separate toilet, and on the other side of the house a new powder room, with toilet and basin.

Kitchen and Dining: Spacious, warm and welcoming, with a large central island, while the dining room showcases exceptional design magazine-worthy features.

The Deck: The expansive deck is one of the property's standout features and one of the cottage's most loved spaces. The elevated deck opens out from the lounge and offers sweeping views to the surrounding mountains. It features generous seating for eight, complemented by a classic American porch swing! A beautiful setting to relax, dine and take in the scenery - and ask us about special celebration table setting treatment!

A Mountain Biker's Dream: A Purpose-Built Bike Hub!
A dedicated cyclist workshop provides secure bike storage and a fully equipped repair station, along with a relaxed post-ride lounge space to unwind and recharge.

Guest access
The entire house and terraced property is available for use. Parking for two sedans or one larger vehicle is available in the upper carport, with additional parking in front of the garage (Note: garage parking is a short but very steep incline)

Half of the large shed is a secure, purpose-designed bike hub for storage, bike repair and relaxed lounge.

Other things to note
Pets
We welcome older and well-behaved pets by prior arrangement (no puppies). Please tell us a little about your pet when submitting your booking request. Millhands Cottage features a fully fenced and secure yard, providing plenty of space for pets to enjoy their stay alongside their owners. To preserve the quality and presentation of the cottage, pets are not permitted in bedrooms or on furniture, must not be left unattended indoors, and should not be bathed inside the house.
We encourage guests to consider these expectations before booking and are always happy to discuss whether the property is the right fit for you and your pet.

Camera
For the safety of our guests and the property, there is one external security camera in the rear yard which faces the carport. Absolutely no indoor spaces or areas within the house, deck, or bike hub are monitored.

Heating: Important Note for Winter Months
The fireplaces are decorative features only and are not operational. Open fires are not available at the property, however, guests can enjoy the outdoor heater on the deck during cooler evenings.

Millhands Cottage is a lovingly restored heritage home that is more than 120 years old. While new reverse-cycle split systems (x4) provide heating and cooling to the bedrooms and main living spaces, the cottage retains many of the characteristics of a historic property and should not be compared to a modern, fully insulated home with ducted climate control.

For guests seeking a contemporary hotel-style environment with central heating throughout, a heritage cottage may not be the right fit. For those who appreciate the charm, character and authenticity of historic homes, we think you'll find Millhand's Cottage a warm and memorable place to stay!

There are around 20 steps and a pathway down to the property, and this may not suit small children and folks with mobility issues. In this case, we recommend our other property which can be found at airbnb.com.au/h/redgumandstone

Hi, we're Bryan and Erin.

Today we're building Yarra Stays, a boutique local hosting business focused on exceptional guest experiences, beautifully presented homes, and meticulous cleaning. We love helping guests discover the Yarra Valley and making every stay one we'd happily book ourselves.
