25.01.2022 You never know what sort of magic you'll discover on the Warburton-Lilydale Rail Trail. Some sections are practically carpeted in gold birch leaves! Ahhh, autumn...

25.01.2022 Just a bit of rain...

25.01.2022 Wet weather is in the forecast tonight, but we're grateful for the moisture (and our garden is grateful too)! Join us for dinner or tea - our cozy dining room by the river is the perfect place to watch the rain.

25.01.2022 This weekend we're excited to announce the official re-opening of our restaurant, and the commencement of our new Winter Menu! This season we're moving away from the fast-food mindset and returning to an appreciation for local, sustainable, and conscious dining. Our chef Gernot will be dishing up warm and savoury comfort foods with a German twist, carefully crafted to blend the finest of our collective heritage. Our books throughout the season will be open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights from 6pm, and for lunch on Sundays from 12-3pm. You can read more about these big new ideas, view our menu, and and book your table by visiting our website: https://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/our-restaurant

25.01.2022 One last star photo from a beautiful night last week... Can you guess where exactly on our property this was taken? Here's a hint: the tree pictured is over a hundred years old!

24.01.2022 Last light on the #WarburtonRailTrail

23.01.2022 We know you've been waiting for some good news, so here it is: we are reopening Friday, June 5th! We are so excited to have you back to enjoy our fresh air and walk among our lawns. Before you book your stay with us, we'd like to let you know about the changes we've made to our business in response to COVID-19 that you can expect to see before, during, and after your stay. For a full statement, please visit https://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/covid19-and-oscars Following the ...guidelines initiated by authorities, we will be opening our accommodation in phases. We will be open for room bookings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights only (for the time being, we are unable to accommodate weeknight bookings). We have also introduced a two-night minimum stay, to ensure that we align with obligations regarding staffing and high cleanliness standards. Our restaurant will not be open over the long holiday weekend of June 5th, but will re-open on Friday, June 12th. We will have more information on our restaurant opening next week. We will also be offering low-contact check in procedures, dine-in room service options, and other small touches to ensure that the safety of our guests and staff are of highest priority. Thank you for supporting us during this changing time. You can be certain that the warm hospitality and service you've come to expect from Oscar's as well as the peace and relaxation you enjoy in our rooms and verdant grounds hasn't changed one bit. We are truly looking forward to having you back! Thank you, and see you soon Your Family at Oscar's

23.01.2022 Thanks for the review, Lisa! Nothing beats a day out of the city, strolling on the lawns by the Yarra River. When you need a breath of fresh air away from city life, remember: we're only an hour and a half away.

23.01.2022 This winter season, we're very proud to be offering a menu that showcases some of the best of local Yarra Valley produce. Our head chef has crafted a menu that ...changes weekly to adapt to what local suppliers have available. This week, we've partnered with our friends at Yarra Valley Truffle to feature a beautiful and aromatic truffle & chardonnay risotto. Check out the rest of this weekend's menu in the comments below.

23.01.2022 We love dogs at Oscar's (and we think the feeling is mutual)! The weather today and Thursday is looking lovely - if you're feeling a bit cooped up at the moment, come join us on the balcony for a glass of wine and a dose of fresh air before the weekend cools down. And feel free to bring your furry friends!

23.01.2022 Our weekend menu is here! If you joined us last week, you'll see some returning favorites, like our tender Yarra Valley steak & fries and fresh Tasmanian oysters with a saffron & pickled lemon vinaigrette. Our guests LOVED chef's passionfruit creme brulee, too! Will we see you this weekend? Restaurant bookings are essential! Book online here: https://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/our-restaurant

22.01.2022 The Warburton River Walk is magical this time of year - look at that view! Do you know where this shot was taken?

22.01.2022 Chef Coco ponders a visit from a tiny visitor. We haven't been able to welcome guests to our restaurant lately, but we still check in on one another from time to time. How fortunate we are to take part in a community that cares about their neighbors!

21.01.2022 It's a brand new day, folks. Remember to check in with yourselves every once in a while to see what needs you might have - especially if you're also responsible for taking care of others.

21.01.2022 Things are changing quickly, but rest assured: Oscar's is still open. We are rapidly adjusting our business so that we can adapt to the new regulations regarding indoor gatherings. We are still open for accommodation, and our kitchen will remain open - things will just be looking a little different around here. Bear with us today as we're planning our next steps. You can expect to see more information here later today about our food and room offerings. ... Here at our property the air is clear and crisp. The acorns are falling from the oak trees; the river continues to flow, unperturbed by all of this uncertainty. We're wishing that sense of calm for you, too.

21.01.2022 The very last summer produce market of the season is tomorrow! Come down to the Arts Centre after work to enjoy dinner and a beverage, and stock up on your shopping needs. See you there!

21.01.2022 Forbes Magazine came out with a great short article on how to support local businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. We genuinely believe that backing our friends and community is crucial to getting through this extremely challenging period. If we can still get involved in our communities, we will see the other side of this together.

21.01.2022 I had some fierce competition for my lunch today. #ant #yarrariver #warburton #troutbruschetta #yum

20.01.2022 'Tis the season for lilies of the valley - they're popping up everywhere! Where have you spotted them lately?

20.01.2022 It's going to be a cool and rainy Warburton weekend - but what better place to enjoy it than from our cozy guesthouse? Sit back, take a breath, and take one minute to enjoy the sights and sounds of rain at Oscar's.

19.01.2022 It was a good day to have a good day. We hope that your week is off to a great start!

18.01.2022 Nailed it, Demi. The Yarra Valley is right at our doorstep - and we're a only short trip away from Melbourne. Now is a great time for an escape from the city. Retreat into nature with us!

18.01.2022 A stunning sunset from an evening walk on the Warburton-Lilydale Rail Trail. We are grateful to be spending our isolation in the Yarra Valley. It's the end of yet another week - what are you grateful for today?

18.01.2022 If you've enjoyed the photos we've shared recently, we'd love it if you checked out our Instagram page (and follow us there too, if you'd like!) We share even more great content that doesn't get posted on Facebook. You can find us here: http://ow.ly/rHja50zAsrP

17.01.2022 We were delighted by one of our thoughtful guests this weekend, who gifted us this beautiful bouquet of lilies. We've enjoyed them immensely and they've lit up the place with color. It's an honor to share our hospitality with you time and time again, and we appreciate you. Thank you xx

17.01.2022 It's a good day for a cold drink by the #yarra river. #warburton #trailrunning #weekend #autumnvibes

17.01.2022 We just love seeing reviews like these! Did you have a similar experience during your stay at Oscar's?

17.01.2022 What an incredible compliment from a past guest. This is why we're in this business: to provide a beautiful experience with heartfelt intent.

16.01.2022 The sun casts its evening glow onto the Warburton Rail Trail, and another day is done. How is your social distancing going? We hope you're staying well.

16.01.2022 We're sure missing this autumn foliage right about now. The trees on our front entry were incredibly vibrant this year! What did autumn look like in your neighborhood this year?

15.01.2022 When it's a new moon in the Yarra Valley, the stars shine brilliantly. We have a beautiful vantage point here on our lawns. Have you watched the Milky Way set over Mt. Little Joe?

15.01.2022 It's a beautiful, sunny, blue-sky day here in Warburton. Will you be on the Rail Trail this weekend? Stop in to say hello and enjoy a riverside coffee!

14.01.2022 This is the kind of community we're proud to be a part of, prepared to open our doors to the vulnerable. #reopenwarburtonhospital

14.01.2022 Well, we enjoyed it while it lasted... but we're back in lockdown with the rest of Melbourne. Unfortunately this means that our accommodation and restaurant will be closed for the foreseeable future. However... we're planning something exciting and we can't wait to share it with you. Stay tuned there's more to come!

14.01.2022 Have you heard of #CleanHandsCreate? People all over Australia (and the world!) are using this free time to create good things. Whether you're a baker, a gardener, a painter, a carpenter, a knitter - anything goes! You can join this group by searching for the Clean Hands Create page on Facebook. Anyone is welcome - the more positivity we can collectively spread, the better off we all are!

13.01.2022 Who else gets these visitors to their backyards? Australians know these birds all too well...

12.01.2022 This year has been a challenging one so far. Carrying out the efforts of everyday life can be tough enough - and living with our new reality of COVID-19 is quite another challenge to be navigated. Industries across the world will be hard-hit and as people enact social distancing measures and postpone their holidays, our restaurant and accommodation business will surely feel the pressure. As events are cancelled and travel declines, we are all considering how to continue to mo...ve forward. Though this situation can feel frightening and stressful, we are practicing a calm, flexible, and compassionate mindset. We've chosen to see this as an opportunity to slow down and practice kindness. To help our neighbours. Comfort our community. To remember that, beneath all the chaos of modern life, there is room for harmony and care. We are all humans, each of us trying the best that we can. Oscar's on the Yarra is open for business, and remains a place of peace and relaxation. We are blessed with wide-open spaces and fresh air. If you're feeling like you need some time away - even for a short escape - know that you are always welcome here. Though our normal standards of cleanliness are high, we have expanded upon these protocols in our kitchen, restaurant, and housekeeping operations. We care deeply about the health of our guests and staff, and we're taking extra steps to ensure that we're doing our part in maintaining high standards of hygiene and care. We're asking all of our guests to be considerate of their fellow travellers by following recommendations from the World Health Organization to minimise the transference of viruses (washing hands with soap and water, avoid touching the face where possible, etc). We are also asking that guests who have been to Australian or international public exposure sights seek advice from health authorities, and to inform us of any change in health during and after staying with us. And last, but not least, we are asking our community to practice mindfulness in our everyday activities. Remember to breathe. Remember to care for your mind as carefully as you care for your body. Remember to care for each other. We will overcome this challenge - and we will be stronger for it. Below are some resources to help you take care of your whole self. They are simple but effective ways to improve your quality of life while you navigate this challenging time. And remember that if you need to escape now to find some quiet, or when you're ready to venture out after all of this settles, we'll be here.

11.01.2022 A falling leaf managed to catch itself just so in a fence near our property. We're loving these warm autumn colors!

11.01.2022 As the sun set over Warburton last night, we were reminded to be grateful for all that we DO have - our family, the beautiful nature around us, fresh air, clean water, and boundless optimism. What are you grateful for today?

10.01.2022 We absolutely can't wait until we're inviting you back once again. Imagine how much we'll have to celebrate when the time comes!

10.01.2022 Pause. Breathe. Unwind. The seasons are changing before our eyes, and sometimes we have to be reminded to slow down and watch the symphony unfold. It's a little quieter here at Oscar's without you, but we hope that you enjoy this one-minute ode to late summer. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

09.01.2022 These red leaves hung on for quite a while... but they really did light up our front entry on chilly days!

08.01.2022 Just a nice place to sit and ponder along the Warburton Riverwalk. Has anyone visited this spot lately?

08.01.2022 One of our favorite early-evening Warburton viewpoints.

08.01.2022 It poured down rain on us all weekend - but oh, we love watching it from the cosy rooms of our guesthouse! Take a breather from your busy day to watch the soft sounds of rain. Music: Cove Podington Bear... www.soundofpicture.com See more

07.01.2022 Moonset over the Yarra Valley. Crescent moons are a reminder of the waxing and waning of all of life's phases. This too shall pass, so long as we are patient - and if we are also kind, we'll be much better for it once we reach the other side.

07.01.2022 Just another night in our corner of paradise.

07.01.2022 We've added a couple of new members to the family! Say hello to Pepper and Rona. They like to hang out in the paddock, but since we don't have any guests at the moment, they're becoming acquainted with our lawns.

06.01.2022 Amidst the uncertainty of this week's changes, our halls have been filled with warmth and joy. It was our sincere pleasure to host Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their families for their wedding this weekend. We're still feeling the love. Congratulations to the newlyweds - and we look forward to welcoming you back again!

06.01.2022 A beautiful, blue-sky autumn day at Oscar's.

05.01.2022 We had a visit from a dragonfly friend on our balcony the other day. It's nice to see little signs that life outside of the human world go on as usual!

05.01.2022 Just a gorgeous morning on the Rail Trail.

05.01.2022 The lights are on, our halls are sparkling clean, crisp linens are on the beds, and a starry sky awaits your stay. We can't wait to see you tomorrow!

04.01.2022 An evening so idyllic, it's like something out of a dream.

04.01.2022 Ahhh - we just love the late summer light filtering through our century-old oak tree!

04.01.2022 Another shot of our beautiful Warburton Riverwalk on a sunny day.

03.01.2022 This weekend, we're pleased to bring back chef's beautiful Yarra Valley Truffle risotto to the menu, this time paired with local Peace Farm pumpkin. We also have several new menu items for the carnivores and pescatarians among us to try. Fear not, plant-based diners - we have plenty for you to enjoy, too! Have you made your booking yet for this weekend? Head on over to our website for more information: https://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/our-restaurant

03.01.2022 The days have cooled, the leaves have turned and the air brings about a feeling of transition. It's true that these changing seasons have brought us much uncertainty - but they've also brought us immense beauty and gratitude. Life hasn't been the same without you here, but we hope that you'll enjoy this one-minute snapshot of this weird and wonderful autumn at Oscar's.

03.01.2022 Adapting our business to the COVID-19 crisis has taken real determination, creativity, and some deeply difficult decisions. We know that this has been challenging everyone worldwide, but we can sympathize especially with those small businesses who are trying their best to keep their doors open and see this through to the other side. Supporting other community members is integral during this extremely challenging period, and we're working together with our partners and supplie...rs to come up with the means to make this happen. If you would like to support our business, but are unable to join us now, we are launching a gift voucher program. This is the most meaningful way that you can help us to strengthen our business now so that we're still able to operate after this is all over. You can purchase a gift voucher of any amount to be used at any time, from today into the future. You can purchase a voucher for yourself, or someone that you love that deserves a chance to unwind, or someone who you know that's a vulnerable member of our population. Gift vouchers are available on our website: https://www.oscarsontheyarra.com.au/gift-vouchers If you love Oscar's, we would be honored and grateful for your support at this time. We want nothing more than to be able to continue our family story and hospitality, and to welcome you back when things are calmer.

02.01.2022 If you're feeling like venturing out this weekend but uncertain about social distancing, we've got your back. We're open for lunch and dinner this weekend, and we've rearranged our dining space to allow guests plenty of room to breathe and enjoy each others' company. And with Cathie's flowers gracing the tables, it's the perfect setting to unwind after a busy week.

02.01.2022 Pinch and a punch, first day of the month. #visitwarburton #visitvictoria #wehavepower
