Welcome to Coombe Yarra Valley

Step behind the famous hedges of Coombe Yarra Valley, established in 1909 as the private residence of Australia's legendary prima donna, Dame Nellie Melba. Located just 50 minutes east of the Melbourne CBD, our historic estate offers an exceptional blend of heritage, culture, and seasonal dining.

Wander through seven acres of magnificent gardens designed by William Guilfoyle, discover the historic homestead on a guided tour—home to Victoria's most intact private collection of art and artefacts—and indulge in our seasonal menus or estate-grown wines.

More than a dining reservation, your visit plays a vital role in helping us protect and maintain Melba’s cottage and grounds in their original, historic state for years to come. We look forward to welcoming you to Melba's home.
