Stay on a luxury truffle farm just over an hour from Melbourne — a private winter escape designed for two.
Cosy fires, truffle season and slow nights in the hills.

MELBOURNE’S CLOSEST LUXURY TRUFFLE FARM STAY

Stay on a working truffle farm just over an hour from Melbourne — where crisp country air, rolling hills and soft winter light create a true sense of escape.

“The Suite” at Scotch Hill is a private, self-contained retreat for couples, positioned on a hilltop within a French-inspired country home. With its own entrance and no shared indoor spaces, it offers complete privacy and a slower pace from the moment you arrive.

Expansive windows wrap around the suite, giving you uninterrupted views across the farm and towards Mount Baw Baw — from misty mornings in bed to golden light fading across the hills at dusk.

WINTER AT SCOTCH HILL

This is when the region truly comes alive.

Return from a Truffles & Flames truffle hunt and settle in beside the gas log fire, or step outside to the warmth of the chiminea under crisp night skies. The landscape shifts with fog, frost and changing light, creating a setting that feels both peaceful and immersive.

During the Noojee Truffle Festival, this becomes one of the most sought-after places to stay in West Gippsland — perfectly positioned for a truffle experience at Scotch Hill.

THE EXPERIENCE

Wake to birdsong and mist drifting through the valleys.
Watch horses and sheep grazing below.
Make coffee and take it back to bed — or into the deep bath — and stay there longer than planned.

Inside, the suite is designed for comfort and ease:

King bed with panoramic outlook
Spacious ensuite with walk-in shower and bath
Gas log fire + climate control
Smart TV with complimentary Netflix
Coffee machine, bar fridge and complimentary breakfast provisions

This is more than accommodation — it’s an immersive stay on a truffle farm.

STAY, EXPLORE, OR SLOW RIGHT DOWN

Experience our signature Truffles & Flames truffle hunt with Boogie, our truffle dog — a unique winter experience at Scotch Hill (seasonal, additional booking required — details provided after booking)
Dine at nearby venues like Neeri Nuff
Visit Noojee and the trestle bridge
Or simply stay in, light the fire and do very little at all

GOOD TO KNOW

Private suite with its own entrance (part of the main residence, no shared indoor spaces)
Outdoor fire (chiminea) + indoor gas log fire
Exclusive guest access to the pool (seasonal use)
Ideal for couples (option to bring one young child under 6)

Stay at Scotch Hill — where winter is something to be experienced, not escaped.

My partner and I loved this little getaway. The location is stunning, and the room is 10/10. Bathroom to die for with a massive bath, very cozy fireplace and bed, stunning view and farm animals everywhere. Was a very welcoming stay and will be recommending it to friends.

Beautiful stay, tastefully furnished and with a view of the farm animals and misty mountains. Host family was warm and lovely. They had even prepared breakfast for us for the subsequent morning.

What a beautiful property. Perfect spot to get away from the city and unwind. Beautiful suite and designed to feel completely private even though owners live on site. Michelle was very caring to ensure I had everything I need. 10/10 would recommend

Huge manicured gardens and a nursery with a fantastic story of how it came to be. The gardens feature several sections with all varieties of plants and flowers. Spot the peacocks roaming around as well. $20 entry for an adult.
Apex Picnic Area & Lookout

Apex Picnic Area Lookout

We spotted the lookout earlier in the day - it was only nine minutes from home and we thought it could be a great option for the iconic duo: Sunset and Red wine. The sky lit up over the valley and it was a doozy!
Charli's Lookout

Charlis Lookout

We decided to briefly stop at Little Charli’s lookout. We spotted this cute picnic area on the way back to our accomodation which offers views of the Tarago Reservoir and the mountains.
