Accommodation

Spend Friday & Saturday nights at the small boutique refurbished mid-century accommodation, The Warburton Motel.

Beautifully located a few minutes drive from the township and nestled within the base of the mountains. The gorgeous 1.6 acre gardens offer many outdoor areas to sit and relax under the tree canopy and the pontoon lighting, and an outdoor fire pit for an evening gathering.

The rooms are very comfortable, quiet and welcoming with doors either side offering a lot of light and garden views and their own ensuite bathrooms. Individual bedrooms, suites and twin share rooms are available to book.

Arrive at your own leisure from 2pm on Friday to settle into Warburton and enjoy your own leisure time. An outdoor fire and the beautiful gardens of the motel are an inviting place to settle in.

Saturday dinner will be at the local Little Joe’s restaurant. A very popular eatery with the locals, offering wood fired pizzas, salads, tapas and Yarra Valley wine.
