Retreat
secluded cottages nestled in the forest
Our 1 & 2 bedroom cottages are nestled privately and amongst the lush green tree ferns and mountain ash forest. Surrounded by the Yarra Valley hills, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle, and find serenity in the isolation of nature. We’ve combined the warmth and intimacy of a home with special farm touches to create a space which is both comforting and luxuriously set in the mountains.
The cottages feature a wood fireplace and double spa bath, the perfect combination to help you relax and unwind. All cottages are furnished with crisp linen, comfortable beds and electric blankets for the winter; large bathrooms with double spa baths; fully equipped kitchens; wood fire with plenty of wood; TV, DVD player; BBQ and laundry facilities (washing machine and dryer in Stringy Bark cottage). Our cottages also feature picturesque decking from which you can enjoy a barbeque, observe native wildlife and admire stunning views.
For your convenience, the cottages are stocked with basic kitchen condiments including organic teas, locally roasted coffee, salt, pepper, olive and cooking oil. Epsom salts, organic shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and essential oil burners are also provided.
Our aim is to create a nourishing space to relax and rejuvenate in the stillness of nature. We support local businesses, and use environmentally friendly and organic products.
