CHERRY ORCHARD CABIN – YARRA VALLEY
OUR STORY
After more than 55 years of tending cherries in the Yarra Valley, we made the heartfelt decision in early 2024 to retire from cherry farming and focus entirely on growing figs and finger limes. While it wasn’t an easy choice, it allows us to spend more time welcoming guests and sharing the beauty of our property. When you visit, we’d love to tell you our story — or you can read more on social media listed under
THE CHERRY BOYS – Yarra Valley.

LOCATION: The Yarra Valley is a living postcard, changing with every season.
In spring, orchards all around burst into soft pink and white blossom, and the air is sweet with new growth. Summer brings lush greenery, warm evenings, and golden sunsets over the rolling hills. Autumn paints the valley in deep golds, reds, and russets, while winter wraps the landscape in crisp morning mist and a gentle stillness — perfect for cosy fireside evenings.
From your cabin, you might spot kangaroos grazing in the paddocks, (often the resident kangaroos come and hang around the B&Bs and our homes usually towards dusk & dawn, kookaburras laughing from the treetops, or a flash of colour as parrots dart past.
At night, the sky glitters with stars far from city lights, reminding you just how peaceful this place truly is.
Within a short drive, the Yarra Valley offers countless experiences. Visit the HEALESVILLE SANCTUARY, where you can meet native Australian wildlife in a beautiful bushland setting. Step aboard the iconic PUFFING BILLY steam train and journey through towering mountain ash and across historic trestle bridges.
For outdoor explorers, the LILYDALE–WARBURTON RAIL TRAIL offers a scenic route for walking, cycling, or horse riding, winding through farmland, vineyards, and forest, with charming café stops along the way.
Wine lovers will be spoiled for choice with over 160 WINERIES, from boutique cellar doors to grand estates with sweeping views. SILVAN DAM RESERVE provides peaceful picnic spots among towering gums, while SKYHIGH MOUNT DANDENONG delivers panoramic vistas stretching all the way to Melbourne.
In spring, the TESSELAAR TULIP FARM blooms in a kaleidoscope of colour, and in winter, MOUNT DONNA BUANG transforms into a snowy wonderland. Whether you’re here for wildlife encounters, steam train adventures, wine tasting, or scenic trails, every day in the Yarra Valley offers something unforgettable.
