Platypus Den in Warburton

Great location, all the facilities you may require and excellent, helpful hosts. Private access to the beautiful Birrarung river and seeing platypus were both my deciding factor and my highlight. Thanks again to Jenny and Kirk for a lovely stay!

A lovely self contained annex with access to rear garden and river Yarra and close to Warburton. Enjoyed the short walk to the river and fishing in a nice secluded area. Has all the facilities you need. This was our second stay and we will return again.

Relaxing stay with friendly and interesting hosts. Beautiful property.

This property is really something very special, with the riverfront, platypus, chickens and satin bowerbirds all at your doorstep (some closer than others). Platypus Den itself is a little dark inside, but that was part of what made it a perfect place for a quiet, restful solo retreat. Kirk and Jenny are lovely, welcoming guests. Highly recommended for anyone couple or a single person looking for a quiet, restorative country getaway.

The riverside location, the history of buildings and some trees made it a great place to go for some basic unwinding. The owners are good people and the wild and less wide life enhance the experience. 5 star it's not, but there are times when standing at dusk on a riverbank enjoying the wild life, the river sounds and being the only ones there is much, much better than any star rating.

We had a relaxing stay there for our wedding anniversary. Welcomed by the host and had a good chat. A really nice place to stay to unwind. We liked walking in the big backyard along the Yarra River. We had a glimpse of a playtupus. So exciting. Thank you.

So pretty nice to get back to nature. All you could hear was the beautiful birds and the river. Met our host Jenny & Kirk lovely people we felt very welcomed there. Will definitely be going back again.??????

We knew we would be well looked after the moment we arrived. Kirk greeted us with friendly and inviting conversation and immediately we felt like we were meeting up with an old friend. The cottage was cosy with handcrafts loving made by Jenny looking out on an immaculate cottage garden alive with Satin Bower Birds making their bowers. The river running along the bottom of the property was an invitation to come back during the summer months. We loved our little retreat and can’t wait to stay again soon.

I only needed a bed for the night while I visited my family. Platypus Den was clean, comfortable, homely, with a great “backyard “ onto the river, and very friendly hosts. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again

The accommodation was in a big property that was beautiful, private and quiet. It has its own private entry from the main house. It is ideal for a couple. It has all the amenities for cooking. A AC is handy as it was in the middle of winter and Warburton is in the edge of the Yarra Mtn Ranges. The Yarra river ran behind the property. Close to Warburton town which is quaint and lots of walking trails. Unfortunately, it rained on the day we had planned to walk. We found all eating places closed Mon-Tues but managed to go to Woolworths in Yarra Junction to buy food. Close to the wineries. We had a nice 2 days relaxing and was welcomed b6 the owner.
