Spacious Family Home with Lake & Mountain Views, the Lilydale Retreat | House in Lilydale

Wake up to soft morning light spilling across the living room as you look out toward Lilydale Lake shimmering below and the Yarra Ranges rising in the distance. Step outside with a fresh coffee and breathe in the crisp valley air, the kind of quiet you only get on the edge of the countryside.
Inside, the home feels spacious, welcoming, and beautifully equipped for comfort. Central air conditioning flows throughout, while the Wi Fi makes it easy to work remotely, stream, or stay connected during your stay. Kids spread out in the lounge while you prepare breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen. There’s room for everyone to relax, unpack, and settle in, no cramped motel rooms, no shared walls, just your own private retreat.
After breakfast, wander down to Lilydale Lake for a walk around the water, where the kids can play at the beach and your dogs can run in the leash free area or splash in the river, or head 10 minutes up the road to the Yarra Valley’s wineries. Spend the afternoon tasting local wines, exploring the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, Healesville’s Sanctuary, Gin Distillery and Breweries, strolling through the Dandenong Ranges’ lush gardens or heading out for a ride on Puffin Billy. There is so much to do in the area, the local attractions are all around.
Alternatively, ride around the corner and head straight on the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail, one of Victoria’s most iconic cycling and walking routes. Cruise past farmland, forests, and mountain backdrops as you make your way toward Woori Yallock or Warburton. Whether you’re chasing a full day ride or a relaxed morning walk, the trail offers endless kilometres of scenery and freedom.
Or for a greater challenge, drive into the Dandenong Ranges and tackle the famous 1000 Steps Kokoda Track Memorial Walk. Push through the lush fern gullies, steep climbs, and shaded forest canopy, then reward yourself with panoramic views and a well earned lunch in the nearby villages of Sassafras or Olinda.

Take in the serenity of the area, the flashes of colour from the local rosellas, and the gentle warble of magpies and other native birds. Sit down for five minutes and suddenly realise an hour has passed, along with whatever stress you brought with you.
