Symonds StreetYarra Glen, Yarra Valley
About this home
Symonds Street is a six-bedroom Yarra Valley retreat built for groups coming together during the cooler months, whether for winery weekends, wedding events, or milestone gatherings. Overlooking the rolling fields of Moo Moo Lookout, the home takes in misty mornings and peaceful winter views over open meadows with grazing cattle, creating a calm, elevated backdrop for a stay of up to seventeen guests. Multiple living zones spread across the home, including three separate internal living and dining areas, a large indoor dining table with meadow views, and an indoor fireplace and wood heater for warmth on cooler evenings. Outside, guests can gather around the indoor and outdoor fire pit zones, complete with beanbags and seating for evenings under the stars, or make use of the outdoor alfresco area with large dining, BBQ, a Smart TV, and festoon lighting designed for year-round use. A six-seater gas-heated spa and a cedar wood barrel sauna offer proper wellness and warmth after a day of wine tasting, while the indoor games room, with a pool table and table tennis, keeps everyone entertained without leaving the house. The fully equipped kitchen includes a five-burner gas stove, oven and grill, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine and frother, sandwich press, rice cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, and smoothie blender, alongside plenty of salad bowls and serving platters for shared meals. A dedicated Euro laundry with a heat pump dryer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, and clothes steamer supports longer stays, and split system heating and cooling in every bedroom and the main living and dining areas keeps the whole home comfortable regardless of the season. The property has also been designed with accessibility in mind, offering step-free access, wide doorways and hallway clearance, an accessible-height bed and toilet, and wide clearance to the bed, shower, and toilet, all on a single level. Renovated in November 2025, the home comes with premium linen and towels, a high chair and portacot for younger guests, and off-street parking, and is pet friendly by request. Set in the heart of Yarra Glen, Symonds Street places guests just minutes from some of the Yarra Valley's most celebrated wineries and wedding venues, including Yering Station, Chateau Yering Hotel, Balgownie Estate, and Zonzo Estate, along with local favourites like the Yarra Glen Bakehouse, Yarra Valley Grand Hotel, and the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. An hour east of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley itself is cellar door country — rolling vineyards, two-hatted restaurants, and houses built to disappear into the land.
