Hall of Fame Winner: Luxury Boutique Accommodation
2006, 2007 & 2008 Tourism Victoria Awards


Property Description:
The five two-person boutique residences are spaced well apart along an 800-metre elevated ridge. Each is positioned to provide complete privacy as well as spectacular uninterrupted views of the mountain ranges. Families of kangaroos visit daily and there is plenty of local birdlife including emus.
The design aesthetics of the villas emphasise clean lines, natural light and panoramic views. A clever balance of defined living areas and open plan space ensures the views are equally stunning from the bedroom to the lounge to the circular spa. The kitchen and bathroom feature granite and light timber surfaces. A contemporary elevated hearth and open fire is strategically integrated into the wall of floor to ceiling windows.

A sixth secluded dwelling, known as the "Bungalow", has two bedrooms and can accommodate two couples. It offers a comparatively cosier ambience, with comprehensive luxury appointments, including a large outdoor spa.

Espresso coffee machine with freshly ground coffee.
A selection of local wines offered for purchase.
Wireless Internet access is available. The area also has excellent mobile phone coverage.
24 hour service is available on a needs basis.
