Basalt Retreat - Tempranillo Villa

Villa Tempranillo – Warm, Moody & Made for Slow Escapes

Nestled deep within the vines of our 24-year-old vineyard, not far from the Great Ocean Road, Villa Tempranillo is the warm, moody heart of Basalt Retreat. Designed with rich tones, soft lighting and handcrafted textures, this villa feels intimate, cocooning, and made for lingering long after the sun sets.

Wake slow to the stillness of the vineyard. Brew a coffee, enjoy the local breakfast hamper, wrap yourself in the quiet, and wander onto your private deck as the morning light settles across the rows. Spend your day exploring Port Fairy, Killarney Beach or Tower Hill — or simply stay in, pour a glass of Pinot Noir, and sink into the comfort of your fireplace.

Best of all, walk through the vines directly to the Basalt cellar door. Long lunches, wine tasting with the grower and supper platters to enjoy back in your room.
