Recently renovated after joining the Lancemore Group of award-winning boutique hotels in 2021, the original 1880's Homestead is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. Each room features beautifully-preserved period detail, including intricate stain glass windows, cedar joinery, original polished floorboards, doors and windows; soaring ceilings with ornate cornicework, decorative moulding and ceiling roses, magnificent open fireplaces, and the original cast iron stove.
Offering exceptional luxury accommodation, the Homestead has six bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests. With children of all ages and pets welcome, the Homestead is the perfect escape to the country for groups of family and friends, just one hour from Melbourne.
All guest bedrooms feature luxurious king-sized beds with quality linens, and have been elegantly designed with antique furniture, chandeliers, unique textiles, and contemporary artwork. Each has its own private ensuite bathroom with rainwater shower, plush towels, and Australian-owned Appelles amenities.
Surrounded by stunning established gardens with mature trees, stretches of lawn and gardens with perennials, relax on the wraparound verandah with your morning coffee, or in the courtyard garden with a glass of wine at sunset. There’s also a BBQ, so you can cook casual meals and dine al fresco.
On weekends, enjoy lunch or dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant, with uninterrupted panoramic views overlooking the vineyard and towards rugged Mt William beyond, with everything from woodfired pizzas for lunch, to fine dining on Friday and Saturday evenings.
