About this house rental

Set on nearly an acre, nestled amongst towering trees, The Nest is on the edge of the Yarra Ranges National Park and backs on to Badger Creek.

With an ancient fern gully, flowering wattles, mesmates and candlebark gums, the property is visited by a host of wild things... parrots, rosellas, black and white cockies, kookaburras, wombats and deer.

It's a quiet setting close to nature but with all the modern conveniences.

As well as the two large bedrooms both with queen size beds, the accommodation includes a large lounge and dining area, warm combustion stove, fully equipped kitchen, laundry, large soaker bath and separate powder room.

Wood for the fire, sheets and towels are provided along with some of the kitchen basics like coffee, tea, sugar, flour, condiments, butter and milk.

Perfect for the weekend getaway, The Nest is just on an hours drive from Melbourne.

We can't add a link to our website on Stayz but feel free to search for 'The Nest Healesville' for more photographs and the most up-to-date availability calendar.

Warm regards Nick and Anna

We had a fabulous long weekend with the family. The amenities, location and cabin was fantastic. The only drawback was having to buy our own wood, kindling and heat beads in order to use the wood fire heater as owner’s wood was damp.

What a delightful place this is. Very tastefully decorated and so peaceful. Such joy to sit on the deck in the early morn to take in the sounds of the creek nearby, we did a great deal of chilling. Plenty of CD musical selections as well as DVD'S, books, games and a wonderful fireplace. Healesville offers great food and coffee too. You cannot go wrong and so close to Melbourne. We met the neighbours down the street, so pleasant, they were selling plants, what a weekend. :) Thanks to our Host, Nick Many thanks to our Host, Nick

I love our weekend getaway. My sister and I stayed here it was so peaceful and serene. Surround by bush land and native birds, we felt a million miles from the real world. A short drive to the delightful township of Healesville (can recommend Chachi Yarra Valley for excellent service, food and coffee). Loved it. Would definitely recommend.

A wonderful weekend away from it all

A wonderful weekend away from it all

Our family really enjoyed a laid back weekend staying at the Nest, with its serene bush outlook and peace and quiet. The mix of weather allowed us to enjoy the fire and play some of the games provided, while also enjoying a number of walks nearby and accessing the creek at the back of the property. It was really clean, and had a great bath and kitchen. The birdlife was another plus and we all came away feeling relaxed.

The house is very comfortable, clean and stylish. The bedrooms are so comfortable and the bed linen was fresh and crisp. We felt instantly relaxed in the house. But the location is what makes it the perfect place to relax. All you can see from the living area is trees. It was so quiet at night. All you can hear is the creek flowing. In the day there are lots of birds and the bird seed provided by the owners makes for a fun activity, in theme with the name of the place. I honestly loved staying in this house.

This property is surely a beautiful gift for it's unique setting. Stunning potential.

What a stunning location and simply gorgeous cottage style accommodation. We loved our stay, but found a few things really brought it down for us..... Unfortunately it was overshadowed by a lack of care and attention to detail especially around the cleanliness of the kitchen area and mentioned items available on the website. Upon arrival the property appeared scruffy and unkempt, ragwort growing and grass thigh high around the veranda edges. A little garden just growing weeds, not attended in a while. The stove top around temp knobs and toaster next to it was covered in grease splatter, and food matter, the oven dirty inside and pot drawer greasy, covered in crumbs and we had to scrub a pan with fat and food debris still on it. We found plates with food on them ( from dishwasher) To then find the sponges supplied were obviously used. The dish brush was actually brown with grease. When we used the bin the door looked stained as we know can happen, but it wiped off. The coffee machine doesn't work properly and the coffee supplied was so old it needs tossing out. The hot chocolate tasted stale, it was a year out of date, as was a most items in the pantry supplied by the property. if you state you provide something my suggestion is make sure it's OK. and working and the pantry in date. The wood fire needs attention as it can't be shut down effectively, the timber virtually evaporated, it's a shame as we would have only needed a 3rd of the timber. We ran out There was the air conditioning but we booked for the ambience of what was on offer and we wanted a beautiful evening by the relaxing by the fire. Part of the timber steps coming off the veranda has rotted and coming away. An extra loo roll than needed just feels better. The cupboard its kept in needs a proper handle I couldn't open it. I had to shove my arm down from the top. We are well aware it's a bush block but the map indicates a nice short pathway walk to the creek, we found it so overgrown unvisible hazardous we couldn't see a path at all. It was dangerous and we couldn't tell it was a path even. State its steep scrub. I felt overpriced and no matter where I've stayed or how simple the accommodation I've never come across this. Things kept adding up. It felt overpriced and not cared for. The scratch map is clearly out of date. If you say you have it,offer it to a fair standard
