I spent two nights at Oscar's on the Yarra, from 11 to 13 December, and had a truly pleasant experience from start to finish. The hotel exudes charm with its heritage style, elegant details, and welcoming atmosphere, tastefully furnished in a way that evoked old-world charm and immediately brought to mind some of the elegant country estates one often encounters in adaptations of Agatha Christie's works. My room, though small, was meticulously clean and thoughtfully appointed. The added touch of coziness and vintage ambiance gave the place a character all its own - both timeless and inviting. One of the most pleasant moments of our stay was spent on the balcony overlooking the hotel’s peaceful scenic grounds, with a great view of the Yarra River. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, enjoying the quiet surroundings, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature. Each morning began with a fresh, delicious breakfast, thoughtfully prepared and served with great attention to detail. Dinner with Christine and Jason was equally delightful, and the engaging conversation made the experience even more memorable. Many thanks to Christine and Jason for their warm hospitality and wonderful company during my stay. Their friendliness and dedication to creating a comfortable, welcoming environment made all the difference. I had a fantastic time and look forward to visiting again.

I loved the scenic views! Christine was such a wonderful host. My husband and I got to chat with the family. The staff took really good care of us at this gorgeous property. The breakfast is amazing, cooked to perfection. The love poured into it is quite evident. We loved the granola, yogurt and fruit bowls! It’s definitely one to stay at for anyone who wants to rest and rejuvenate! I personally enjoyed my quiet time by the Yarra River that runs beside the property. We look forward to going back there.

Nothing negative to say!

Oscar’s was such a welcoming place to stay with my husband and toddler. The room was generously sized and there were lovely spaces to relax in if you wanted to get out of the room. We enjoyed using the pool table whilst the baby had plenty of space to crawl around. Everyone we came across during our stay was so friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the delicious cooked breakfast each morning. All the little touches made it a comfortable place to stay like the baby cot being set up ready for us and a high chair out out for us each morning when we arrived for breakfast.

Christine and Jason were exceptional hosts, always keen to make sure that we were comfortable and that our needs were met. The home made breakfast and coffee was great and the grazing platter on arrival was generously prepared with cheeses, dips, crusty bread and pickled vegetables....scrumptuous! The local Cab Sav suggested by Christine was a perfect accompaniment. Our hosts were helpful when we required any tips on what the area had to offer. The rooms were clean and very comfortable with a glorious view from the balcony to the Yarra River.

Although the room was small, it was lovely, but very nice and cozy. All we needed. There was a small deck out to the garden which was nice to sit on. The bed was very comfortable and the room was really clean and modern. We were able to watch netflix in the evening. There was a pool table and lots of board games provided. All the maps and directions were available which really helped with our driving trips. Breakfast was fantastic, one of the best we have had at an accommodation. Kept us full for the whole day on our driving trip. We stayed for dinner on the Saturday night, and it was great. Avoided the Easter crowds. Before dinner we took a bottle of wine down to the rivers edge with supplied pillows and picnic blanket. It was so peaceful and lovely. The management could not do enough for us. They thought of everything. There was even an Easter egg at our door on Easter Sunday! Easter bunny must have come!!?

There was nothing that we did not like, even the weather was brilliant. Town was a bit too crowded so we were very happy with where we were staying.

The location is amazing, backing out onto the Yarra River where they provided seating and a camp fire if necessary. A short drive into town or you could take the warburton trail which takes about 20 mins to walk to the nearest pub The Alpine. The owners greeted us on arrival and explained everything in great detail. The room had its own verandah where you could sit out and admire the view. Bed was very comfortable with pristine linen. Cannot fault this accommodation in any way, attentative staff, amazing breakfast included in the price and a wonderful atmosphere. Free WiFi was great as mobile data was a little temperamental at times. Designated smoking areas around the property also. Accommodation also provided an additional usb charger incase you forget or need more than 1 point.

Lack of storage for clothes if staying for longer than 2 nights. However big wardrobe with a shelf and 1 bedside drawer.

What a beautiful setting, everything about Oscar's on the Yarra is perfect. Christine and her team are amazing and very accomodating. I was so impressed, I started writing the review in my head as soon as we'd arrived. Was going to say the only regret I had was not booking another night, but we ended up staying another night anyway. Did I say the team is gracious? Nothing is too much trouble. Great rooms, amazing breakfasts (as you'll hear in other reviews), and exceptional hosts. With just a 5 min drive to Warburton, Ocars' on the Yarra enjoys an enviable position away from the highway, and is the perfect spot for relaxing by the river. See photos. What more could you want? Seriously, don't miss out! Book it now!

A gorgeous old building in picturesque grounds with huge oaks and pines and the Yarra River bubbling past out back. We visited during heat wave conditions so the river and the room air conditioning was much appreciated. Rooms are compact but very comfortable made better by the room’s French doors onto a small patio with table and chairs. Hot breakfast and coffee was delicious. Owners very welcoming. There are several lounge areas plus a big deck out back and a big billiard table. Would be an excellent place for a groups of friends/family etc.

There are a couple of bigger rooms which I would try for next time.

The serenity of the place was incredible. Exactly what I was looking for to come to after a long stressful work schedule and just before Christmas. I loved the quiet, relaxing nature where my son and I could unwind reading a book or just listening to the birds and the flowing river or simply walking around the well mowed garden. Christine and family were very warm, and we loved the breakfast served on the balcony.The location is only a few minutes away from cafes and shops, and many sightseeing as well. Definitely want to go back with friends and family to enjoy the campfire.

It was not inconvenient, but I would have preferred to have a closed cupboard to leave clothes and bags instead of leaving on a bench.. There was a large drawer for the vanity, though.

We loved everything about this hotel! Every single detail reflects the love and care being put into this place, the room is queit, comfy and clean, the living spaces (there are several of them) are beatifully decorated, breakfast is exceptional, but most importantly the owner Christine is lovely - always available to chat and give help. It really feels like staying at our own home! For the price paid, this is exceptional value for money. We will surely come back again!
