Schofield Cottage Healesville is in the heart of the Yarra Valley region of Victoria just outside of Melbourne. The property is just over 1km from the main street attractions of Healesville including Cafes and Restaurants, Boutique Shops, Wineries and Gin Distilleries. It is only 2km from Healesville Sanctuary. Situated at the rear of a 1.6 acre property - Guests have a 2 bedroom cottage with a large front garden with view and a private enclosed rear yard. It has a fully functional kitchen and outdoor BBQ so you can choose to eat in or stroll down to the local restaurants and eateries. The property is suitable for 4 people and the two bedrooms can be set up as one king and one queen bed or two singles and one queen . It is perfect for up to two couples of a family with 2 children. A washing machine is available is within the cottage. There is a private driveway and entrance with a double covered carport for parking vehicles. A key less door code is provided for entry , so there is no need to arrange to pick up a key. Arrival anytime after 2pm on arrival day and departure by 10am.
I love having guests stay so they get the wonderful opportunity to experience the Yarra Valley and what it has to offer. You have a 2 bedroom Cottage to enjoy at the rear of the property. I respect guests privacy, but I am available to assist with any enquiries if needed. I provide comfortable accommodation that guests tell me is good value, relaxing and like a second home.
I love the Healesville area in the Yarra Valley. There is so much too see and do in all seasons of the year. For families there is the iconic Healesville Sanctuary, Maroondah Dam and Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, Lake Mountain snow area (only 50km away), Yarra Valley Tourist Railway, places to fish and many local walks. There are great opportunities to bike ride on local paths and mountains nearby. Warburton Bike Trail is only a 15 minute drive from Healesville. For adults and big children there are numerous Wineries, Gin distilleries (Four Pillars/Alchemy), Music Concerts (A Day at the Green at Rochford Winery), Breweries (Matilda Bay, Watts River, Coldstream Brewery), Yarra Valley Dairy, Tarrawarra Art Museum, Artist galleries, Golf at RACV Country Club, Berry Farms, Cafes, Boutique shops and Marysville near by with wonderful local sculptures, waterfalls and scenic beauty.
