Chestnut Glade Accommodation Narbethong Yarra Valley — Hotel in Narbethong

After a little searching for a family friendly cottage in the area, we selected Chestnut Glade and their Lucenti cottage.||Comfortably accommodating 2 adults and 2 kids, we found the cottage to be spacious and well furnished, without being luxurious or over the top.||||The setting is extremely quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Nestled between rows of chestnut trees (albeit bare at the time of our visit) the location is only a few hundred metres from the main road but you wouldn't know it. The property is frequented by wallabies, kookaburras and ducks adding to the country feel.||||What I loved about this place was how well stocked the cottage is on arrival. ||The fireplace was set with kindling and papers, ready to be lit and had a massive pile of logs in storage next to it ready for use. (although I did buy some more kindling during our stay)||The fridge and cupboards were jam packed with breakfast provisions:||A giant bowl of fresh eggs, milk, juice, bread, bacon, yoghurt, butter, mushrooms and tomatoes. The cupboard had a range of preserves and cereal. ||Plenty of food to provide breakfast feast for all three mornings.||||The location is ideal for touring the are in all directions.||10 mins from Marysville||20 mins from Healesville (gateway to the yarra valley gourmet region)||20 mins from Buxton (trout farm)||||Contact from the owners is pretty much non-existent so you are left to your own devices to enjoy the stay in peace. The other cottage is about 100m away, but far enough not to be a bother.||||All in all I highly recommend this cottage for a family stay...

We stayed in Nanking cottage (cottages are named after varieties of chestnut trees) which has a Japanese themed decor - using authentic furniture, wall hangings, paintings, Japanese garden and curios - a real delight in itself. The cottage is situated distant from the other cottages, quite separate, so no disturbances. ||||The provisions for breakfast were excellent and plentiful - cereals, milk, yogurt, eggs, bacon, bread, butter, jam, juices, sauce and more... all you could need. We had cooked breakfasts and used the BBQ as well. There is no standard cook-top but we managed easily with the electric fry-pan and microwave. The owners, Rachel and Frank were friendly and helpful and flexible with times. We stayed in late March and the chestnuts were starting to fall - if you want to get some remember to bring secateurs and thick leather gloves - the fruit is too hard to handle otherwise.||||Wi-Fi and TV with Netflix worked perfectly. Our phones on Telstra worked well but other carriers may be a problem.||||Quite simply this was one of the nicest cottage style accommodations we have ever stayed in - we look forward to visiting again in winter to enjoy the cooler seasons and to use...

I can not recommend this place more highly. There is everything you need in the one cottage. A great fireplace with a huge amount if wood supplied with ample kindling/paper and the hosts dropped off more to us as per our request first thing the following morning. Amazing breakfast provisions... tea, juice, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, various cereal, muesli... who could ask for more! |Soap, shampoo, bath salts etc all provided as well.|The view from the cottage|Is spectacular. Surrounded by chestnut trees with leaves covering the ground.|The beds are super comfy... bedding abounds, extra pillows and blankets and electric blankets on all beds keep u warm and comfy.
