Ample parking, was greeted by the lovely Richard when we arrived who gave us tips on where to visit for the day which we really appreciated as we enjoyed all the stops – Rainforest Gallery, Mt Donna Buang summit and the Cement Creek Redwood Forest. He even went as far as to recommend the best times to visit based on the weather and how busy each site would be. The room was clean, really cool retro vibe. Surprisingly cool inside with only a fan to cool, despite the burning hot weather outside. They've done a lovely job with the place, we even spent time outside on the hammock and seating provided in the communal areas. Would definitely come back, and recommend to others!

To enter the Warburton Motel, it's quite a sharp right turn amidst the bushes. This was a bit tricky to spot, especially at night. When leaving the parking spot, you have to drive down a steep, slightly narrow driveway. Nothing too much to stress about, I would recommend just being careful when driving in and out of the property.

The room was very clean. One of the staff kindly asked if I needed anything. The facilities are limited, but they let you know. The room was basic but neat and, again, very clean. Bed was super comfy, had the best nights sleep I had in ages. The location was very nice, I was constantly walking back and forth from the main street since it was a perfect distance to see so much of the local beauty in one walk. It has beautiful paths even just around it. I think the peaceful atmosphere made is much easier to handle being scared about the scorpion. I was very brave about it.

The community kitchen is very basic. They do have some extra supplies for an additional cost, tho. The room for a single main queen is hardcore motel vibes, small but enough room for a weekend. I'm not sure about the cost as I booked late and there was a festival on so it makes sense but it still seemed a small amount over priced by about twenty dollars ($20). Or maybe like some noodles in the cupboard, idk.

The Warby provided a comfortable and lovely stay while my partner and I explored the Yarra Valley & Warburton. The facilities inside our room were exceptionally comfy and clean. We loved having a drink using the outdoor shared spaces in the evening to unwind after our explorations. Plenty of seating spaces were outside for other guests to sit out among the trees and gardens. Our favourite was the firepit seating area.

The parking is on unmarked gravel terrain which is slightly angled. It can be a bit tricky if most spots are taken, however, I do believe that there is more parking just below the motel if need be.

The family who hosts the property are so friendly and such lovely people. I booked an River Tube tour and rented also a mountain-bike, as they offer it for better prices then others in town. The room was super clean, it is an very quiet neighbourhood and the only thing you hear are animals like birds. You are surrounded by nature. I arrived by car, was also no problem (plenty of space). The famous Yarra Valleys Wineries are also only a 30min drive away. I already looking forward for my next stay.

Everything was perfect

The location was excellent. The owner / operators running it were very attentive and made it a seamless stay. Really unique set up with access to a firepit, across the road from a playground, the mountains just up the road, and the room was excellent with really comfy beds and great value for money. There was also guest information with lots of advice on where to eat and what attractions to see - with links to more about them, which was all really helpful.

This is THE best motel I have stayed in. It was clean, very comfortable and the views are just beautiful. It was so nice walking into the room and it was so warm and cosy. The electric blankets were a treat.

Nothing I didn't like. The location is superb. I will definitely stay again. The Yarra Valley is gorgeous and I wasn't disappointed. I adored being in nature and seeing and hearing all the beautiful birds, especially my favourite Kookaburras. 😍

The hotel has been refurbished and is very comfortable. The location is great, close to town and the river and very quiet. Beds comfy. The little camp kitchen with a kettle, microwave and cutlery/crockery is great and really appreciated. We hired some bikes for the day and the owners were really helpful. Guests get a discount on bike hire as well and free lock and helmet. Hosts were very helpful and great communication. Lovely garden area to sit around as well. Bus stop just down the road as well. Highly recommend.

Everything was great.

The room was clean, the location was good with easy access to the mountains and the town. Warburton is a stunning town surrounded by mountains, rainforests, and waterfalls (LaLa Falls). Mt donna buang is gorgeous with snow on the side of the road, and tall trees covered with snow. I loved that the beds had electric blankets!

The pillows need replacing, they are too flat and uncomfrotable.

Fantastic stay! Lovely location, easy access to parking/room. Check in and check out was absolutely seamless. The room was cute and comfortable, provided everything suitable for a over night motel stay but with much nicer decor then expected! Motel owners were fantastic to deal with, and queries or question were answered immediately. Would highly recommend!

Location close to Warburton town, easy access to surrounding Narional Parks. We had the family room, which is quite large. Good shower and the spa was nice. I found the online check-in easy.

Lamps were embarrassingly confusing, took us quite a while to figure them out. The single beds were significantly less comfortable than the queen.
