Onyx Retreat.Holiday home in Healesville, Yarra Valley

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was lovely, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—nice and close to the zoo and other attractions in Healesville. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great experience!

The house was absolutely wonderful and we had a beautiful stay. Will definitely visit again - but will preface this with if you do NOT have a 4WD car, you will NOT make it to the property! The drive is not only steep, but it’s very rough terrain. We were fine in our big 4WD but had a laugh thinking about anyone trying to get to the property in a standard car!

A cozy and peaceful retreat, very family and pet friendly. Suitable for a group getaway. Host team is very helpful and responsive.

A great property. Beautiful house with great facilities.Very comfortable and ideally located. We had an excellent weekend visit.Would stay there again certainly.We especially enjoyed the outdoor spa and sauna

This is a fantastic property for a group gathering. We were 4 small families together for a long weekend away and were very comfortable across the bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with glassware and crockery/cutlery. Everyone loved the hot tub and sauna!

Such a wonderful stay. The area was a beautiful winter getaway with plenty of local winery’s and lovely restaurants close to the home

Lovely house suitable for multiple families. The coonara fireplace made it very cosy and warmed up both levels nicely. The teenagers especially enjoyed the billiard room. The spa and sauna was thoroughly enjoyed.

Lively properties’s property Onyx Retreat was incredible. The spa and sauna were so great and the kitchen was well stocked to host 14 people. We had a great time by the indoor and outdoor fire. The team at Lively sent a lot of communication in the days leading up to attending. Sometimes more than 3 messages a day. We were definitely well informed on how to get there and what to expect.

Beautiful home, great host, will book this place again if needed!

We had a lovely time at the place! It was very peaceful and relaxing. We love the interior and the country looking. Darren is very helpful and responsive. The only thing is we found socks and undies in one of the rooms when we got to the place. Darren apologised and said he would let the cleaner know. Overall we enjoyed our time! We would definitely come back!

stunning place! Amazing views and space. Lots of great amenities and lovely host!

This is the dreamiest house ever. So nourishing to be able to cosy up by the fire, float in the spa or sit on the deck surrounded by trees and black cockatoos. It was honestly a dream. Can’t wait to come back. The perfect place to get away with your family or small group of friends to unwind, chat, drink red wine, play board games and rewind in nature. Healesville is also a scenic area - the surrounding mountains are gorgeous !

A beautiful place to stay. Loved the view of the bush (or the stars) from the spa. Host was very helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay—beautiful house and overall a great experience, thank you for hosting us. Just a few small suggestions: the cleaning could be a bit more thorough (dust, corners, glasses, and some areas like chairs, dining table, and fridge had minor residue, plus a bit of hair in some rooms). Also, the house and fridge could be checked for any lingering smells. It would help to have more rubbish bags provided, and clearer instructions for outdoor lights, sauna, and jacuzzi use. Overall, we had a lovely stay—thanks again.

Beautiful property, well taken care of, amazing amenities and very responsive host! They were okay with some of my guests to bring their dogs and it was such a treat to have them running around in the grass. Very family friendly with high chairs and porta cots available. Baby also loved the spa!

We had a great weekend celebrating my 40th birthday with close friends. It was an amazing place to stay in with heaps of space for all of us and some kids including a well equipped large kitchen, spa and beautiful surroundings. also it's only 8 mins from Coles so it was easy to get supplies that we forgot

Chalet in the mountains north of Healesville. A few issues when we checked in related to prior guests taking keys but we located a spare set. Overall a fine stay and the management team assisted us with our difficulties.

Great place, very private and beautiful surroundings. Well equipped with everything you need. We had a very good stay.

Great location that allowed for an amazing weekend with the family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Onyx Retreat. Even though it was a last-minute booking on our end, the hosts were very accommodating and responsive. There was ample space for our large group, and 5 dogs had the time of their lives enjoying the vast backyard. The hot tub and sauna were great additions to the space to give it a cosy and relaxing vibe. The kitchen was fully stocked and well maintained. The house itself had a very moody cabin like feel so it felt like we were transported outside of the hustle of bustle of the city and really able to get away. Only thing to note is that the road up to the house is not the best for smaller low profile cars. We loved our stay and would happily recommend it to any large groups wanting to reconnect with nature but have a comforting stay.

Fantastic property, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the family, lot of space to wonder around, the fire place outside was magical, good memories created at this stay hope to be back soon to continue the memories

We had an amazing stay, it was spotless, comfy, and exactly as pictured! Seamless check-in, super responsive host, and great spot tucked away in the Healesville hills. Great value with nice touches—5 stars, highly recommend, and we'd stay again!"

The house is a beautiful grand country home with different spaces to suit a large mixed group, set on a hillside in a secluded forest. Check in process was smooth and house was clean and matched listing. Would love to stay again!

Not too far from CBD. Absolute good team to host our holiday very responsive. The property is shown as the pics. FYI Need to read the host instructions before checking in!

It’s a beautiful property nestled amongst trees, peaceful and quiet. It had all the amenities and was beautifully decorated. We had a lovely time.

Great stay, very peaceful and quiet. Beautiful surroundings!

The property was lovely. The house was spacious, yet had a warm and cozy feel. The surrounding bush (best viewed from the hot tub) made it feel like a getaway. We celebrated an early Christmas here and found the resources in the kitchen more than adequate. A great place for everyone to spend time together, including the dogs.

Great property and area, just need to improve on cleanliness. Other than that, it was a cosy place to spend with the family. And really helpful and responsive host too.

Property was as described and host was prompt with communication. Great place for a large group stay.

amazing stay! wish they weren't so booked out would've stayed even longer !
