Don Valley Lodge is simply the best
We thoroughly enjoyed our luxury stay at the lodge over a two night stay. The cottage has all the necessities to stay in and enjoy a comfortable sleep in comfy beds and cosy night in to watch a movie. We loved the breakfast provisions and enjoyed exploring the property on our walks in the afternoon. Great location and only 15 minutes away from main attactions in nearby suburbs. Darian and her family made us feel welcome and made our stay very enjoybable and memorable. Highly recommend for home away from home experience.

Amazing host and lovely cottage!
The photos doesn’t give this lovely cottage justice. The host was amazing and very responsive. Loved the personal touch and also the extra consideration given by providing extra towels and blankets etc. even though we didn’t used them it was a very nice touch from the host. There’s a cubby house which my girls were crazy for. The cottage is very well equipped with split system in the main area and portable heaters in each bedroom. Quality kitchen and more than enough cutlery, plates and proper tea mug (which tea lovers like mewill appreciate). Lots of board games and dvds to keep the whole family entertained. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Thank you again Darian for being a super host!

About the host

Hosted by Darian

Host profile image
Don Valley Lodge is proudly run by myself and my husband. We have called the property, where Don Valley Lodge is located, our home for the past 5 years and have spent the last 3 years lovingly renovating Don Valley Lodge, removing the dated 1960's interior and replacing it with brand new fixtures and fittings.
We live on this gorgeous property, in the main house, with our 2 boys and our 2 Labradors. We love this property so much and thoroughly enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the beautiful wildlife that visit everyday. We are thrilled to be able to share this magnificent property with the Guests of Don Valley Lodge.

Why they chose this property

Don Valley Lodge is located in the stunning suburb of Don Valley, which is ideally located half way between the majestic townships of Healesville and Warburton.
Set on our beautiful 10 acre property, the land surrounding Don Valley Lodge is filled with gumtrees and large grassed areas which are visited regularly by a wide variety of wildlife including a variety of birds, fallow deer, ducks, rabbits and even the occasional wombat or echidna.

What makes this property unique

Don Valley Lodge is set on a picturesque 10 acre property, filled with beautiful tall trees, lush green grass and a dam filled with gorgeous Waterlilies. We love watching the ducks dive into the dam and hearing the Kookaburras laugh daily. During Springtime there are often baby Ducklings waddling around, which are a joy to watch.
The birdlife that visits the property daily are a superb sight and they love feeding on the bird seed we provide them with. Some of the King Parrots even let our children feed them out of their hands.
Fellow Deer visit the property most days to feed on the grass, they are truly beautiful animals.
Most nights you can hear Wombats munching on grass and we have one Wombat who visits during the day sometimes.
Bunnies can be seen daily eating the grass and hopping around and quite often chasing each other around.
We hope our Guests get as much joy out of the property surrounding Don Valley Lodge as we do.
