Built in 1966 and reimagined for today’s traveller, The Warby is a 12-room motel that keeps its retro bones proudly on show. Nestled at the edge of Victoria’s Yarra Ranges, it’s a base for explorers, cyclists, mountain bikers, and anyone chasing fresh mountain air.

Each room carries easy mid-century charm — timber tones, soft light, thoughtful details. The kind of place where you can hang your jacket, pour a glass of local pinot and feel instantly at home.

The Warby is about warmth, character, and breathing space. A place to rest your legs after the trail, dry your boots and wake up ready to do it all again.

Welcome to The Warby — the mountain’s motel.
