Yarradene – Luxury Healesville Farmstay

Yarradene is a stunning retreat on 48 acres with spectacular views, at the base of Mt Ridell. Accommodating eight people, and only five minutes from Healesville’s cafes and shops, it lends itself to family gatherings, holidays with friends, and is perfect wedding accommodation for brides getting ready before their big day.

Architecturally designed the house offers four light-filled bedrooms, three with beautifully appointed ensuites complete with underfloor heating. There’s a choice of entertaining spaces – including an upstairs reading nook and sitting room with glass doors onto a fabulous entertaining deck; the perfect spot to be at sunset. Head to the games room for a drink at the bar and a game of pool, curl up with a book by the fire or take a wander down through the property’s bush tracks.

Experience some amazing on-property farm experiences. Have a hands-on suited-up Bee-Keeping Experience, put on a bee suit and handle the bees, and try their honey fresh from the honeycomb! Wander through three acres of King Proteas and Leucadendrons and harvest an armful to take home as a gorgeous memento of your stay. Gather eggs from the chickens, meet the miniature highland cows, and give the re-homed miniature donkeys a carrot.

As night falls, gather around the fire pit for some storytelling over a glass of wine underneath the clearest of stary night skies.
