About this property

Chum Creek Hut - Luxury Country Cottage on beautiful horse property.

Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley just 10 mins drive from wineries and eateries and central to all the Yarra Valley has to offer. This luxury country cottage is totally unique. Situated on a 136 acre horse property amongst abundant wildlife. Ideal for romantic getaways, families and groups.

Book a horse ride with us to see spectacular views of the Yarra Valley or simply relax. The choice is yours.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery from every window and get cosy on the soft leather sofa in front of the magnificent original stone fireplace. Ample fire wood is provided.

The new bathroom has a double spa with a large bifold window that opens onto a beautiful peaceful outlook. A brand new kitchen is fully equipped for self catering.

The main bedroom features a king sized bed that can be split to 2 singles if needed.
Second bedroom has a king sized bed that can be split to 2 singles if needed.
The third bedroom has a king sized bed that can be split into two single beds.
The price is based on how many beds are used or number of people. So if you only need one you only pay for one.
All beds have luxury cotton linen with ample cosy doonas and quilts.

Relax on the shady back deck and enjoy a Yarra Valley vino while you catch a yabby or some trout from the dam and enjoy a BBQ. (we have stocked the dams to make it easier to catch your dinner!)

Horse lovers can book a horse trail ride with us or bring their own horses and ride directly into the State Forest from the property. There is no better way to relax after a ride than a spa with a drink in hand at Chum Creek Hut.

Great walking tracks into the adjoining State Forest with spectacular views across the Yarra Valley.

We are blessed with an abundance of wildlife that share our property such as wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and eagles.

There is no TV so you can choose to be totally offline or we do have wifi available if you choose to bring your own devices. Telstra network has good mobile coverage.

We live on the property however our residence can't be see or heard from Chum Creek Hut so you can enjoy some peaceful privacy. We only pop in and say hello if you need something otherwise we leave you to enjoy your stay. We simply provide a code for the front door to let yourself in.

If you need a transfer to enjoy a night out or tour some wineries just let us know.

Due to the abundant wildlife, strictly no pets.

Serene and Peaceful Getaway
We booked the cottage for our friends as a joint gift/getaway for their 40th birthdays. Management were really accommodating, letting us get there before check-in and setup nibbles, hampers and some special goodies before our friends arrived. The photos do not do the property justice, it is much bigger than it looks, backs onto paddocks and a small creek and the bathroom is very luxurious. Highly recommend

Great fireplace but that’s all
The fireplace was great and plenty of wood to burn but that’s where it ends. The place looks like it had a surface clean but that’s it. Don’t look under the couch! We picked up all the old plastic cups under there but looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. All the benches were sticky and although lots of things supplied in the kitchen everything felt like it needed to be cleaned before using. The kettle was so bad I drove into town just to get a coffee. It is mentioned the main house is far enough away you won’t hear them but we were treated to what seemed to be a very repetitive bad savage garden concert blasted all day long. Could also do with a property book explaining what’s on offer and information regarding the facility. I have stayed in similar for way less. Premium property I think not.
