Set on 1.5 private acres just 8 minutes from Kyneton, 20 minutes from Daylesford, and just over an hour from Melbourne, this spacious, five-bedroom villa retreat sleeps 10 guests in luxurious comfort. Enjoy a pool, tennis courts, alfresco dining, private river frontage, established gardens and forest surrounds. Catering available in-house, or just a short drive to cafés and restaurants, then return to complete seclusion — ideal for family gatherings or a spectacular retreat with friends. Pool towels and tennis rackets are provided. 

The space

The villa is modern and recently renovated, ensuring that every creature comfort has been thought of, from private bathing to extra space for dressing and relaxing. There are three main bedrooms in the main house, with an additional fold-out couch in a study room. The main house has two complete bathrooms (one ensuite) and one additional powder room. A large living and dining area opens out to the pool and an alfresco dining area. Adjacent to the main house is a separate one-bedroom, fully contained studio with an ensuite bathroom and views of the property and surrounding riverfrontage. Perfect as a grandparents' retreat or for a couple wanting additional privacy, and yet only steps from the main house. The tennis court pavilion includes a lounge and a desk, making it a peaceful spot to write if not playing tennis. 

Designed for gathering in comfort and intimate celebrations, the villa sleeps up to 10 guests across five beautifully furnished rooms. Each of the bedrooms has hotel-quality mattresses, crisp linens and understated furnishings. The living and dining areas include seating for up to 12 guests. There is a wood fire in the main living area and ducted heating and cooling throughout. The generous layout and multiple spaces make it ideal for more than one family, larger groups of friends or even corporate or wellness retreats. The interiors are layered with textiles, books and the owner’s furnishings and artworks, creating an atmosphere that is welcoming, yet refined and conducive to deep relaxation

The property is framed by hedges and mature trees. There are two alfresco dining areas as well as multiple outdoor living spaces with lounge chairs, barbecue, and a pizza oven, providing the perfect spots to gather into the evening under the stars. A separate pool house offers another space to retreat to with a book or a yoga mat or catch up in the tennis pavilion over games.

If you can ever bear to leave the property, it is located on a quiet country cul-de-sac, and you can wander through neighbouring forest trails or explore the reservoir at the end of the road and enjoy spectacular birdlife, kangaroos, echidnas and sunsets. You are also welcome to walk along the river; however, please ensure children under 12 are supervised at all times and do not jump from the jetty in case of injury. 

Whether you’re planning a celebratory gathering or a restorative country escape, this beautifully appointed home offers both villa-style luxury and seclusion with the convenience of in-house catering or a short car ride to neighbouring Kyneton, Trentham or Daylesford. 

Guest access

Guests have access to the whole house except the garage.

Other things to note

This home is designed for intimate gatherings and is not suitable for larger celebrations and events. The property is located in a quiet, residential area. Out of respect for neighbours, we ask that outdoor noise be kept at a reasonable volume. Please note that the maximum number of guests is strictly capped at 10.

Finally, the swimming pool and private river frontage are wonderful features of the property; however, children must be supervised at all times, and we ask that guests not use the jetty at the end of the property, as is not safe to use. No dogs permitted.
