The Cottage: wildlife, cattle, vines, fresh air, peace, space and endless views

Welcome to The Cottage – your home-away-from-home on a Yarra Valley farm, where kids roam free, grown-ups finally exhale, and the mountain views seem to go on forever.

The living area is designed for long chats, deep breaths, and slow mornings. The Cottage has a kitchen with everything you might need for snacks, sips & spontaneous feasts. Our guests say we have thought of everything and I am proud of that as we want your stay to be seemless. The spacious lounge is perfect for cozy nights in front of the wood fire, movie marathons, board game nights or a little friendly rivalry over a game of billiards. Inside, there are two large queen bedrooms, plus a single bed with a trundle in one and a daybed in the living area for extra guests. All together the Cottage sleeps 7 and guests tell me they 'have the best sleep ever' in those beds; might be the country air too. There are 2 bathrooms with everything from fluffy towels to fancy soaps — it’s all here.This self-contained, family-friendly retreat is perfect for making memories. Plus there are views from every window for star gazing and wasting time, you're on holidays right?

Step outside and the fun continues: a sparkling private pool for summer splashes, a tennis court for some on-holiday competition, and a big BBQ area built for long lunches. Plus we have a new hot tub for a bit of oohlala and the best seat in the house for sunsets which is really just nature’s way of showing off before bedtime. Kids will love the open space and play area: talking swings, cubby house, trikes and space to play! While grown-ups can wander the gardens, kick back with a glass of wine by the fire pit or enjoy the kids being kids. And those sweeping valley views, they are first class.

This is a working farm, so expect to meet our Charolais cattle, their calves at foot and new arrivals in September. Spot kangaroos at dusk, and maybe even cross paths with a shy koala or a cheeky wombat. Don’t forget to look up for the wedge-tailed eagles! Our muscovy ducks are just beautiful and fit in perfectly with all the other birdlife we have. You’ll also find a vineyard, an insectarium, a little truffière up the laneway, and thousands of trees we’ve planted over the years—it’s nature’s playground out here. Our guests are constantly telling us 'that photos do no justice to the beauty of the farm' so I am guessing this may contribute to guests also saying 'we don't want to leave!'

Free WiFi keeps you connected when you need it, and we’ve included a continental breakfast to ease you into your first morning.

We are usually busy with farm life, but if you’d like a farm tour or need anything extra, just give us a call—we love a good distraction! And we are so proud to share what Greg's parents have built over 40 years plus are pretty chuffed with our own contributions too eg a total refurb of the BnB's. Been a crazy few years.

Langbrook Estate is perfectly positioned just 15 minutes from the charming township of Warburton—where great coffee, local shops, and that laid-back mountain-town energy await.We are only 5 minutes from Yarra Junction where you have everything you need eg supermarket, chemist, doctors, post office.

Spend your days exploring Yarra Valley wineries and restaurants, or hop on the nearby Warburton Rail Trail or the latest amazing facility out our way the Warburton bike park for the more adventurous—both iconic and loved by both locals and visitors for walking, cycling, and soaking up the scenery.

For a family-friendly day out, Healesville Sanctuary is just a 25-minute drive away, where you can get up close with Australia’s most iconic native wildlife and not far from the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie for sweets galore! We also have the most divine products in Wesburn with an amazing cheesemaker whose shop is full of delectable delights, an artisan breadmaker, a whole foods shop which is so intriguing and plenty of stops for a coffee or something a little stronger?

Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or do a bit of both, Langbrook puts the best of the region right at your doorstep.
