About this property
Castella Country Retreat- Rustic Charm in the Heart of Yarra Valley Wine Country
- A peaceful retreat, set on 7 acres of land adjoining Kinglake National Park. It is located in a secluded valley in the heart of the Yarra Valley, just a little over an hours drive from Melbourne's CBD.
Our 40 year old mud brick holiday house (which has been recently updated) is full of character and charm and comfortably furnished for groups of up to 8. Four bedrooms, two spacious living areas on 7 acres provides plenty of space for 8 guests both inside and out. A well equipped kitchen and dining table for 8 means you don't even need to go out if a lazy weekend away is what you are after.
Wake to the laugh of the kookaburras (and a kangaroo or two feeding in the paddocks if your early enough) and enjoy an array of birdlife which fill the stringybark gums throughout the day. You will be able to hand feed Nathan, the resident magpie, if you bring a little ham with you and Harry and Apu, the alpacas, love a snack of lucerne (provided). Staying at the Castella Country Retreat is a fabulous way to enjoy the Yarra Valley and the great Australian Bush.
Linen is provided, however you do NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS.
Sorry, pets and parties are NOT allowed.
Smoking is NOT permitted inside.
The property is not considered suitable for young children.
There is a lot to do and see in the area, local attractions include:
Wineries & Restaurants
Bush walking in the National Parks
Yerring Station (with farmers market)
Yarra Valley Dairy
Four Pillars Gin Distillery
Tarra Warra Art Museum & Winery
Yara Glen & Healesville Races
St Andrews weekly Saturday market
Brunos Garden Art & Sculpture in Marysville
RACV Country Golf Club
Quaint local towns
Antique shops of Yarra Glen
Otherwise the 7 acres of land provides with you with lots of nature and space to wonder and enjoy.
