Welcome to The Terraces, a newly renovated five bedroom weatherboard house in the heart of Warburton. Featuring a large dining area, cozy living space with open fire, fully stocked kitchen, breakfast bar and 2.5 bathrooms, including luxury bath, we have everything you need to enjoy a restful break
The space
Welcome to the Terraces, our charming, 1970’s weatherboard house that blends the character of the era with modern innovations to ensure your stay is as restful as possible.
And now we have added a 5th Bedroom - the Studio. Sitting apart from the rest of the house, the Studio used to be a workshop that we have renovated into a cozy 5th bedroom with fully insulated walls and ceilings, carpeted floor, an AC unit, 2 King Single beds, 2 occasional chairs and a Desk + 24Inch smart TV. With views pit to the Terraces, this could be the perfect hideaway for your teenagers, a spot to work from home undisturbed, or a quiet retreat for a couple. Access to the Studio is up a small set of narrow steps so it's not suitable for people less sure on their feet.
Note: The studio is only available for bookings over 8 guests. We add a small per head fee for this additional bedroom to cover the extra cleaning and servicing.
Back in the main house, our open plan dining area features a large handmade dining table with plenty of space to share a meal. The open kitchen is fully equipped with a good set of kitchen knives, state-of-the-art appliances and all the essentials needed to enjoy some home cooked meals. Our Breville coffee machine (we provide the beans, you bring the milk) means you can enjoy your first coffee of the morning at our custom-made breakfast bar.
Our living area features large sofas, an open fireplace (with plenty of firewood) and views of the mountains through the window meaning there is plenty of space in the house to watch some TV or curl up with a good book. Our Smart TV allows you to log into your own streaming account so you can watch a film in the evening.
Two of our bedrooms contain two, king single beds and the other two contain queen beds meaning there's plenty of space for a good nights sleep. Each of the four bedrooms is fully fitted out with bedside tables, tall boys for your clothes and USB connections next to the bed to make charging your device easy. You’ll find Orthopaedic Euro Top Pocket Spring mattress and hotel quality linen on each of the beds to help make sure you have a good nights sleep. And each room has central heating and air conditioning meaning you’ll will have comfort throughout the house, whatever the weather.
The main bedroom also features a large sit/stand desk and office chair with some nice mountain views meaning you can always head up earlier in the week to work remotely and really make the most of your time in the area.
Finally, the house contains two fully renovated, luxury bathrooms one of which features a beautiful free standing bath. A separate shiny new powder room makes 3 toilets in total meaning no long waits for the bathroom.

Our dog Dizzy loves his Warburton stays and adventures and we are happy to make this house pet friendly so you can also bring your furry friends. They can use the front yard, or adventure with you up to the terraces. The front garden is fully fenced and ideal for children or dogs to run around
Outdoor Haven:
We like to spend as much time as possible outside so we have spent a bit of time thinking through what we need to enjoy the stars at night.
Our outdoor deck has a Webber Q barbie perfect for your family dinners. Or enjoy roasting marshmallows over the firepit in the evening in the private front garden just off the outdoor deck. You’ll find plenty of firewood in the small shed in the garden. In season, the lemon tree will help put the finishing touches to your gin and tonic.
We have named our house the Terraces because of the beautiful multilevel garden at the back of the house. There is a steep set of concrete stairs leading up to the Pagoda on the third level but it’s worth it for the amazing panoramic views over the valley. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cold beer at the end of a big day or have the peace over your morning coffee.
The Terraces are fun to explore as they’re still a little wild at the moment (small children should be supervised if they’re heading up there) but we're working hard to get the gardens back to their former glory and create the perfect haven to play and relax
Locations:
Our house is perfectly situated just five to ten minutes walk from the beautiful Birrarung (Yarra) river and Warburton main street where you can enjoy exploring the trails along the river or relax with a coffee. Our house also provides you with easy access to the brand-new Warburton Mountain Bike Park as well as the many gravel trails around the area. The Warburton-Lilydale rail trail is also close by, perfect for exploring on two feet or two wheels.
Nearer to your trip, we will share a guidebook we have created with lots of our own local recommendations around the best places to ride, walk and enjoy the outdoors.
